The Best Honeymoon Swimwear for Your Beach Destination, Wherever That May Be

If there was ever a time to justify a swimwear shopping spree, your honeymoon would be it. Whether you're headed to a tropical island, the chic shores of a European beach or planning to lounge poolside at your hotel, you'll need some new honeymoon swimwear. Make your beach honeymoon feel extra special in something all-white that clues in everyone nearby that you just got married, or go for a suit that feels more versatile and colorful.

While you want something that looks great, you also want a swimsuit you feel comfortable in. You can get extra coverage in a more modest one-piece, high-waisted bikini bottoms or a pair of cool swim trunks or shorts. If you're okay with showing off some skin, opt for a skimpy bikini or one-piece with lots of cut-outs. And as cute as matching swimsuits are for newlyweds, they're not a necessity—color-coordinating is a great option too. Read on for a selection of swimsuits that will fit every need, and good luck trying to settle on just one.

The shimmering green lurex fabric of this swimsuit is reminiscent of a mermaid and pretty enough for a special occasion, like your honeymoon.

The Best One-Piece Honeymoon Swimwear

A one-piece swimsuit is no longer associated with the word "frumpy." Modern styles include alluring features like cheeky backs, cool cut-outs and plunging necklines; for those who want more coverage, there are plenty of cute options that feel more modest.

Feminine, sweet and delightfully charming, this one-piece swimsuit features a huge bow on one shoulder that cascades down to the ground.

TA3 Plungey

If you want to splurge on a swimsuit you'll wear over and over again, make it this TA3 one-piece. Made of activewear compression fabric, this suit is incredibly supportive, while also still managing to feel comfortable. If the back looks like a corset, that's because it kind of is: you can pull the strings as tight as you want to cinch in your waist as you choose. Moderate back coverage and a plunging neckline balance each other out, and the high cut on the legs looks great. We love the inclusive sizing and this comes in a slew of other colors if you don't want to do white.

Boden Levanzo Ruched Halter Swimsuit

Chromat Strata Suit
