Ahead, we're sharing our favorite plus-size suits to shop (so far) this season along with tons of expert tips to help you nail the fit.
Don't underestimate the power of underwire.
If you're busty, Cheshire suggests looking for a suit with underwire, for lift and support. If you find underwire uncomfortable, try a style with a shelf bra built in.
Experiment with silhouettes.
Opt for more of an open neckline: The bust can be one of the most flattering areas of a curvy woman’s body, and there is no better place to show that off than at the beach, suggests Cheshire.
Get creative.
The monokini is great for girls who carry their weight in their hips, says Cheshire.
Hone in on adjustable features that let you tailor a suit to your liking.
Look for swimsuits that have adjustable features, like halter necklines, removable cups, adjustable ties, and ruched fabrics that can be spread out or scrunched up to show less or more skin, Peterson suggests. This way, you're able to tailor your suit to you.
Cutouts aren't for straight sizes only.
Cheshire is also a fan of creative skin-showing: A cutout placed right below the bust can be very flattering.
Understand that sizing can be tricky across brands.
Sizing is one of the biggest disparities you start encountering in products over a size 10 or 12, explains Petersen. There is no grade rule on how sizes are determined above a size 12. Therefore, a size 14 in one brand can vary by one to two inches compared to another brand.

Look for sites that offer free shipping and free returns so that you can try multiple sizes without the expense of shipping back and forth, she suggests.
Take a suit's leg opening into account.
Look for a suit that is cut lower at the hip — a retro silhouette will create a flattering shape There are so many cute swimsuits with skirts or boy shorts to consider, too, says Cheshire.
Channel your inner Sasha Fierce.
Ashcroft's parting (and maybe most important) piece of advice to swimsuit shoppers: Go into the shopping experience with a Beyoncé 'flawless' mentality, and really take notice of the different body parts you want to accentuate in order to find the style that is right for you. Hear, hear.
