Full coverage pieces are also great for styling as streetwear, taking you from the sun to poolside drinks or dinner after a swim. In this guide, we'll explore our best full coverage swimsuits, including our favorite one-pieces, full coverage swimsuit bottoms, and two-piece options. Whether you're looking for modest full coverage swimwear or the best full coverage swimsuits for a specific trip, event, or activity, we've quite literally got you covered.
Where To Start: Full Coverage Bottoms
The right bottoms make all the difference in a full coverage swimsuit. Designed to cover your hips and cheeks without bunching up or sagging, you can feel secure and comfortable in style. Our favorites include high-waisted designs, which stylishly add coverage, low-cut hipsters, and hardware-adorned options, for even more support and detail-oriented style.
Luxe Link Full Bottom
This bikini bottom subtly adds full coverage where you want it by keeping it high in the leg and lengthening where it counts. Plus, with its chain side detail and high-stretch recycled fabric, it’s one of our bestselling styles already. Available in classic white and black and a sweet bubblegum pink.
Pin Up Star Full Bottom
A sexy, mid-low cut piece reminiscent of old-Hollywood glamor, this full coverage swim bottom features gold ring hardware at each side of the hip for extra luxe detail and a little peek of skin—without compromising coverage where you need it.
Cali High Leg
A classic swim bottom with a mid-high waistline and full coverage in the back, this bikini bottom style is cut high in the leg for lengthening and slimming, all while keeping everything, hips, cheeks, and waistline, in place.
Ursula Hipster Bottom
Cut low in the hips with cutout U-wire detailing on the sides, Ursula is a great full coverage piece that’s equal parts comfortable and sexy.
Barcelona High Waist
This full coverage swim bottom hugs at the waist and keeps your bum covered, but is also cut extra high in the leg for a lengthening silhouette
Tips For Styling Full Coverage Swim Bottoms
Pair with a Structured Top
It’s all about balance—coverage on the bottom, structure on top. Some of our bestselling swim tops like Skylar, Astrid, and the Sienna Tank are all great picks.
Lean Into Patterns & Prints
Full coverage swim bottoms in bold prints—tropical florals, classic stripes, and our bestselling Abstract Color Block—can add just the right amount of boldness to your swimwear look.
Layer with a Cover-Up
For sun coverage, transitioning temperatures, and a little modesty when you want it, layer your full coverage swim bottoms with a coverup. We love our linen Playa Shirt or the Sirena Sarong.
All-In-One: Full Coverage One-Pieces
Full coverage one-piece swimsuits make things easy: a single style you can throw on and go, that offers coverage and a perfect leotard-like fit. One-pieces are ideal for various body types, creating a sleek, streamlined silhouette. Our favorites combine classic designs with modern details and balance coverage with freedom of movement—showing skin only in the right places.

A classic swimsuit made modern. With contemporary lines and an ultra-flattering cut that hugs the body, this swimsuit offers full coverage top, bottom, and sides. The ultimate go-to.
Tips For Styling Full Coverage One Pieces
- Accessorize - Adding a belt or sash is a chic way to define your waist and enhance your figure while still maintaining full coverage.
- Opt for Monochrome - A monochrome full coverage one-piece creates a sophisticated and elongating effect. Add a Hat and Sunglasses: Complete your look with stylish accessories like a wide-brimmed hat and oversized sunglasses for a chic beach-ready outfit.
Two Piece Full Coverage Swimsuits
For those who prefer the flexibility of a two-piece, full coverage options are available that provide more coverage than traditional bikinis. These suits often feature high-waisted bottoms and tankini tops, offering a modest yet stylish alternative.
- Mix and Match - Mix and match seasonal prints and colors for your top and bottom to create a personalized look.
- Layer Up - A lightweight cover-up can add a touch of elegance and extra coverage when you're not in the water.
- Focus on Fit - Make sure you have the right size in both top and bottom. High-waisted bottoms and a supportive top are great for both coverage and comfort across body types and sizes.
