Today I'm chatting, 5 Best Long Torso Swimsuits (That Moms Actually Feel Good In). One-piece suits I love — plus the amazing high-end brand I thought would never fit me..
Summer Swim.
Every year I dig through my swimsuits and find my faves. And if my old faves seem a little faded, tired or uninspiring, I browse new styles. Because let's face it: a really good swimsuit can make any vacation or pool or beach day feel easy. And a swimsuit fail can ruin a day.
So if I'm in Oahu, or roaming the shores of Croatia - I need to have some go-to suits to lean on. And yes, I do...
The brands I chose:
- HUNZA G
- ALBION FIT
- ANDIE
- SUMMERSALT
- J.CREW
Love a Two Piece - But..
Female / mom swimsuit truth bomb here — it’s easier to take a bathroom break in a two-piece. A wet one-piece, isn't fun to strip down and peel off. Long sleeves? Even trickier. That alone makes the bikini an obvious win if you can get away with it. It’s basically underwear and a bra, but for the beach or pool. Easy. Done.
But once you have a baby or toddler — or a small child who’s either yanking on your top - hello boobie obsession - climbing on your back in the pool, or clinging to you like a sea monkey — you start to realize: for a mom swimsuit .. a one-piece just makes more sense. It’s secure. No boobs are popping out, no bottoms sliding down. And while I love the vibe of a bikini, I can’t deny the comfort and ease of a great-fitting one-piece. It just stays put. It makes me feel secure. Comfy. Like I could twirl down a three-story waterslide after my kid if I need to. Superhero / supermom - same thing - swimwear vibes. And peeing is easier.
But if you have a long torso, a one piece swimsuit can be a tricky fit! So let's dive into a few Long Torso Swimsuits that just make sense..
Fit detail: long torso.
I didn’t realize this growing up — I just thought one piece bathing suits just hated me. In my 20s and 30s, I finally caught on. One-piece swimsuits never fit right. The butt always rode up. Rompers and jumpsuits? Same issue. It's the long torso thing! Of course.
So when I discovered that some brands offer “long torso” swimsuits, I felt like I’d unlocked a secret code. The first one I tried was J.Crew, and when it actually fit? Gleeful shock. I wore J.Crew suits exclusively for years.
When it comes to Long Torso Swimsuits - we've come a long way. From like, one brand, to a whole bunch of brands offering the sizing option. The fit: You get a longer spacing from your bust to your butt. And sometimes a roomier bottom.
Then I found Andie’s Amalfi One-Piece (Long Torso)—and that’s been my ride-or-die for the past five years. But I’ve recently branched out again and found a few more winners, including a brand I swore would never work on my body.
Here are five of my favorite swimsuits for long torsos—some for one-pieces, one two-piece I love, and one “one-size-fits-all” suit that somehow actually fits.
Little me.... circa 1984
1. Andie Swim – Amalfi One-Piece (Long Torso)
My all-time favorite. I’ve bought this suit in multiple colors and I wear it every season. It’s flattering, supportive, and actually long enough in the torso. It doesn’t ride up, it doesn’t dig in. It’s the one I reach for when I want to feel confident without adjusting anything all day long.
Shop the Amalfi One-Piece – Long Torso
2. HUNZA G – One Size Crinkle One-Piece (Full Coverage)
OK. I judged this brand HARD. One size fits all? Absolutely not, I thought. I have a long torso, a pear-shaped frame, a small waist—this wasn’t going to work. But it did. It is actually a perfect swimsuit for long torsos.
The crinkle fabric is super stretchy and hugs your body in a magical way. I recommend the full coverage versions if you’re tall or want a little more booty coverage. I wore the pink one in Hawaii recently and loved it so much, I even bought the mini version for my daughter.
Just FYI: the kids’ version rides up in the back, which led to our new family joke—“Rosalie, is my butt hanging out?” She’d ask me back, and we’d both adjust our suits. Not ideal for her, but hilarious.
So the next timy you are in a bathing suit and feel your butt hanging out just giggle and say "Kathy, is my butt hanging out??"
3. Albion Fit - String tie tops
Another brand that is technically not a 'long torso' fit is the Albion Fit one piece called The Natalie. It is long torso friendly because you can tie the straps as high or low as you'd like. So while this might not work for some long torso bodies, it works for mine. The cut at the thigh is very low though, so if you only like a higher cut Botton style, this fit might not be for you. I like it because it totally covers my butt!
4. J.Crew – Long Torso One-Pieces
The OG long torso brand for me. J.Crew has reliable, classic suits that fit great and don’t cost a fortune. I’ve loved their ruched styles and plunge one-pieces, and they’ve held up well over time. If you’re new to long torso sizing, this is a great place to start.
5. Summersalt – The Sidestroke (Long Torso)
Okay, full disclosure—I haven’t tried this one yet, but I’ve heard so many good things. Summersalt is known for its supportive, stylish suits with inclusive sizing. They do make long torso options, and if they come out with a color I absolutely love, I’ll grab one. Bookmarking this for the next round of swimsuit season.
So there you have it. These suits are secure, flattering, and long-torso approved (well, four out of five I can personally vouch for). Whether you’re in the mom-zone or just tired of swimsuits that ride up in all the wrong places, these are worth checking out.
Let me know if you’ve tried any others you love—or if you’ve figured out how to make peace with your butt hanging out. I’m still working on it.
Happy almost summer.
