Show Some Skin In These 28 Low-Back One-Piece Swimsuits

The swim scene has come a very long way. Where itty-bitty string bikinis were once de rigueur for looking sexy at the beach and by the pool, we’re now opting for on-trend bathing suits that don’t show off too much skin and rather show off just enough. To prove it, we’re calling out the Goldilocks of swimsuits: one-pieces of the low-back variety. High up front (to avoid any wave-induced slippage) and low in the back, these pieces officially end the days of compromising coverage for sex appeal.

The world of low-back one-piece swimsuits is nearly limitless, with everyone from Target and Anthropologie to Farm Rio and plus-size retailer Cupshe throwing their hats (or maillots) in the ring. While you may not get the line-less tan you’re used to, it’ll all be worth it when you don’t have to spend any time adjusting and re-tying your string bikini after every dip in the water.

To help you find a swimsuit that’s just right, we’ve laid out all the best straight-size and plus-size one-pieces. Trust us, you’ll be ready to take on the warmer months with these not-too-revealing, not-too-conservative, low-back one-piece swimsuits.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
