Growing up, I remember thinking there were only two bikini top options: sports bra style or triangle. While those are totally valid styles for anyone who wants to wear them, they are not necessarily supportive, especially for plus sizes.

Six years ago, I moved from the landlocked Midwest to a city on the ocean and never looked back. I try to make it to the beach every week in the summer (salt water is the cure for everything, as they say). As such, I have amassed a small collection of swimsuits. So many people hate swimsuit shopping, but I love it, especially since discovering swimwear that actually fits me. Seriously, full bust swimwear is a life changer. I’ve stopped buying non-cup-sized bikinis entirely. Nothing is worse than trying on an XL bikini top, only to find the band is too big and the cups are still too small. Well-fitting swimwear is like cute lingerie that’s socially-acceptable to wear outside. In other words, it’s the best.
Just in time for warmer weather (and the last few winter vacations!), Yandy’s new swim collection is here with enough scintillating prints and eye-popping design to satisfy even the most particular swimwear fans. While Yandy has, of course, carried swimwear for years, this is only their second time producing such an extensive range. And Yandy puts everything they’ve learned about swim on full display with more than 100 style split into six mini-collections.
