If you have a long torso, you\u2019re probably all too familiar with how difficult it can be to find a swimsuit that doesn\u2019t ride up, bunch up, or feel too tight, especially if you\u2019re shopping online. That\u2019s why Bustle reached out to Amahlia Stevens<\/a>, the founder of Vitamin A Swim<\/a>, for expert guidance on what to look for when shopping for the best swimsuits for long torsos. According to Stevens, you\u2019ll want to look for extra-stretchy designs with adjustable features for the best fit. \u201cMost importantly, select a swimsuit that makes you feel confident, comfortable,\u201d says Stevens. Keep reading for more style tips from Stevens, so you can find a swimsuit that finally fits just right.<\/p>\n Amahlia Stevens<\/a> is the founder of Vitamin A Swim<\/a>, a California-made swimwear brand launched in 2000 that champions sustainable fabrics and innovation. After working in apparel design and branding for the likes of Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister, she launched her own design and merchandising firm before turning her passion for swimwear into a career.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re wondering whether or not you have a long torso, there\u2019s easy way to find out \u2014 all you need is a tape measure. \u201cStart measuring at the base of your neck and calculate the distance to the top of your hips, while keeping the tape aligned with the natural curve of yourspine,\u201d Stevens advises. \u201cThen, measure the length of your legs from your hip bones to the floor.\u201d If there\u2019s a significant difference in the proportions you\u2019ve measured, that likely indicates you have a long torso.<\/p>\n With that said, let\u2019s dive into key features and styles that Stevens says will help you find a swimsuit that \u201csits comfortably and doesn\u2019t ride up or feel too short.\u201d<\/p>\n While this advice can help you find a swimsuit that fits properly, ultimately, you\u2019re free to wear any<\/em> kind of swimsuit that makes you feel your best.<\/p>\n Whatever your personal style, you\u2019re sure to find a stunning swimsuit on this list that works for your fit needs. And know that all the swimsuits listed ahead are backed by tons of Amazon reviews from those with long torsos. <\/p>\n 01<\/span><\/p>\n A Ruched One-Piece With Adjustable Drawstrings<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This one-piece swimsuit<\/a> ticks all of Stevens\u2019 boxes when it comes to swimsuits for long torsos. Offering plenty of stretch to ensure a comfortable fit, this swimsuit also has adjustable spaghetti straps and<\/em> adjustable drawstrings on either side that, in addition to allowing you to create a custom high-cut leg that Stevens recommends, also creates textured ruching. The removable padding adds to the suit\u2019s wearability. The cheeky-cut suit is offered in a ton of different colors but the subtle gradient featured here offers a similar effect to that of horizontal stripes, which Stevens recommends for long torsos. But you can also opt for flashy prints like multicolored tie-dye, classic leopard, or edgy snakeskin.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cThe fabric is substantial and supportive, and the ruching on the sides creates lovely ripples that make you look SNATCHED. You can adjust how high you want to wear it on your hips so that it’s the perfect cut for your individual body. Historically, I’ve avoided one-piece swimsuits as I’m on the tall side, but the adjustable straps totally accommodate my long torso.\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>32 | Sizes: <\/strong>Small \u2014 3X-Large | Material: <\/strong>82% Nylon, 18% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 02<\/span><\/p>\n This High-Cut One-Piece Swimsuit With Criss-Cross Cutouts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This one-piece swimsuit<\/a> perfectly walks the line between modest and sultry, with a scoop neckline and bottom that both offer moderate coverage. The criss-cross, caged sides with metal accents show a little skin to visually break up the torso, and creates the high-cut design that Stevens endorses for longer torsos. Even so, it offers moderate bottom coverage. It also has adjustable straps that one reviewer called \u201ca huge bonus,\u201d plus removable padding and a ribbed texture for extra visual interest.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cThis bathing suit fits great. I\u2019m 5\u20199 so I was scared it wouldn\u2019t be long enough for my torso but it has great stretch and adjustable straps so it can fit many heights. Seems like good quality and looks exactly as pictured.\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>45 | Sizes: <\/strong>X-Small \u2014 22 Plus | Material: <\/strong>82% Nylon, 18% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 03<\/span><\/p>\n This Sporty Bikini With A High-Waisted Bottom<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The silhouette on this bikini<\/a> has a chic, \u201880s flair with an ultra high-waisted, high-cut bottom. The bottom is slightly cheeky in the back, and the pullover, sports bra-inspired top has wide straps and removable padding. While the straps aren\u2019t adjustable, both pieces have a \u201cgood stretch factor,\u201d as one reviewer put it. Plus, it comes in a variety of bold prints and unique patterns, including matching separates for that visual interest Stevens says works well on long torsos.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cThis suit is perfect for someone with a larger chest! It doesn\u2019t cut too low and nothing spills out of the bottom, comfortable straps! The bottoms are high waist even for me, I have a long torso so most \u2018highwaist\u2019 [hits] me right at the gut […] The back is pretty cheeky, I have a bigger booty so it shows a lot but I love it!!!! Can\u2019t see thru it and all stitching and elastic is quality!\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>38 | Sizes: <\/strong>Small \u2014 XX-Large | Material: <\/strong>85% Polyester, 15% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 04<\/span><\/p>\n This Adjustable One-Piece Swimsuit With A Cheeky Cutout<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This one-piece swimsuit<\/a> with a cheeky front cutout is as customizable as it is cute. The drawstring ruching in the middle of the chest can be adjusted to your liking, as can the shoulder and band straps. Plus, this swimsuit comes in tons of the colorblock options that Stevens says help break up the lines of long torso. The ruching along the waist provides visual interest, and pairs with plenty of coverage across the rear.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cI had been looking for a cute white swimsuit and this one is AMAZING. I love the cutout in the front, it’s so sexy and completely adjustable. I am pretty tall and have a long torso, and I found that because of the cutout, it’s very easy to get the suit to fit comfortably, which I often have a hard time with one-piece swimsuits.\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>37 | Sizes: <\/strong>Medium \u2014 28 Plus | Material: <\/strong>82% Nylon, 18% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 05<\/span><\/p>\n This Best-Selling Tankini That Comes In Lots Of Patterns<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apart from being an Amazon best-seller, this tankini<\/a> has many of the features recommended by Stevens for long torsos. The top has a deep V-neckline secured with a self-tie halter, and has ruching along the bodice for textural interest. The bottom offers moderate coverage and has slightly high-cut leg openings. This swimsuit also comes in tons of colorways, including solid hues paired with printed bottoms that Stevens loves for long torsos. <\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cBeing long torsoed I was super nervous. Length of top is great, bottom sits on my hips well below the top of the bottoms, AND the top does not roll with constant movement-sitting, standing, bending and twisting.\u201d<\/p>\n Colors:<\/strong> 36 | Sizes: <\/strong>XX-Small \u2014 26 Plus | Material: <\/strong>85% Polyester, 15% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 06<\/span><\/p>\n A Printed High-Waisted Bikini With Adjustable Straps<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nothing says summer more than a bold, tropical print like the one on this bikini<\/a>. The top on this two-piece has a deep-V neckline and adjustable straps for a customized fit. The high-waisted bottom have medium coverage and the high-stretch fabric is great for longer torsos. It comes in a range of prints and styles, including options with adjustable, ruched tops.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cSo comfortable! Plenty of stretch and colors are great.\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>15 | Sizes: <\/strong>Large \u2014 4X-Large <\/strong>Plus | Material: <\/strong>82% Polyester, 18% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 07<\/span><\/p>\n A One-Piece Swimsuit With Sultry Mesh Accents<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Classic with a bit of edge, this one-piece swimsuit<\/a> is sure to become a summer staple, particularly because it aligns with all of Stevens\u2019 must-haves for long torsos. It has plunging neckline with mesh trim that matches the mesh accent at the waist \u2014 a feature Stevens says helps break up the lines of a long torso. The cheeky bottom also has high-cut legs and wide, adjustable straps, and the pads are removable to suit your preferences.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cThis is the best swimsuit I\u2019ve gotten in a while. I have a longtorso so was skeptical on how it\u2019d fit. I got an extra large and it fit perfectly. I can\u2019t say enough about this swimsuit. It […] made me feel confident!\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>5 | Sizes: <\/strong>Medium \u2014 3X-Large | Material: <\/strong>80% Nylon, 20% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 08<\/span><\/p>\n This One-Piece With A Plunging Neckline & Adjustable Tie Details<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two piece in the back, one piece in the front, this monokini<\/a> gives you the best of worlds \u2014 and all the features that Stevens recommends for long torsos. The plunging neckline, which has a bejeweled central detail and keyhole belly cutout, is secured by a self-tie around the neck as well as one around the waist. But the adjustability doesn\u2019t stop there. There are self-ties on the hips, too, so you can customize the fit to ensure both comfort and the high-cut silhouette that Stevens suggests. It also has moderate booty coverage and fixed push-up padding. Go for a bold print, like Stevens recommends, or choose one of the pretty solid colors on offer.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cThis swimsuit is FABULOUS! […] great coverage for the girls as well as ample coverage on the bottom with well proportioned and sufficient material in the back. Really important to me is that it is long enough in the torso not to ride- up my bottom and cause discomfort.\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>20 | Sizes: <\/strong>X-Small \u2014 22 Plus | Material: <\/strong>82% Nylon, 18% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 09<\/span><\/p>\n A One-Piece Swimsuit With Classic Horizontal Stripes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While horizontal stripes have gotten a bad rap in the fashion world, they\u2019re a classic that Stevens says are perfect for those with longer torsos. This one-piece<\/a> is adorned in those timeless, nautical-inspired stripes, and it also features a low-cut neckline and adjustable criss-cross straps. There\u2019s also a shelf bra with removable cups for added support. This swimsuit also has the high-cut design that Stevens says works well for long torsos. The bottom\u2019s coverage is somewhere between cheeky and moderate, and shoppers rave about the suit\u2019s feel, with one noting that the \u201cmaterial has a feel that cost more than what it does.\u201d<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cGreat material, not see through. I have a long torso, so finding a one-piece can be challenging. This one fits perfectly […] This is my 4th Cupshe suit and may be my favorite. They are all consistent in sizing and nice quality!\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>2 | Sizes: <\/strong>X-Small \u2014 X-Large | Material: <\/strong>Chinlon, exactly fabric blend not listed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 10<\/span><\/p>\n A Mixed-Print Bikini With A Longline Top & High-Waisted Bottoms<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you\u2019re looking to rock a two-piece that offers a bit more coverage, look no further than this retro-chic (and popular) bikini set<\/a> that\u2019s earned over 10,000 five-star ratings. The flouncy top has a cute ruffle trim, creating a longline silhouette that Stevens says works great on long torsos. Plus, it has adjustable spaghetti straps and a corset-style lace-up detail in the back for even more customization. The full-coverage bottoms are ultra high-waisted, and they have delicate ruching reminiscent of a classic \u201850s swimsuits. Plus, it comes in 36 stunning colors and prints, including several mixed print options that Stevens loves for long torsos. <\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cI have a longtorso and the bottoms are truly high waisted and doesn\u2019t show too much skin between the two pieces. The fabric has stretch, but keeps the form it should for a quality suit. I purchased high end suits from Macy\u2019s for triple and quadruple the money and the fabric is comparable to that of those. Great suit for the price point and more!\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>36 | Sizes: <\/strong>Small \u2014 4X-Large | Material: <\/strong>82% Nylon, 18% Elastane<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 11<\/span><\/p>\n This Simple Tie-Dye One-Piece Swimsuit<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If your sartorial motto is \u201cthe simpler the better,\u201d this is the swimsuit<\/a> for you.

Adjustable straps and a high percentage of stretch (20% elastane) ensures it\u2019ll fit long torsos nicely, and the tie-dye print adds a playful vibe that\u2019ll also acts as a visual complement to long torsos. It also comes in a handful of chic solids and some other prints, like gingham, ditsy florals, and preppy vertical stripes. <\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cFits a long torso well. Looks great, seems to be a quality fabric, I am very satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>19 | Sizes: <\/strong>X-Small \u2014 XX-Large | Material: <\/strong>80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 12<\/span><\/p>\n A Cult-Fave Wrap-Style One-Piece In A Colorblock Pattern<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This tri-color one-piece swimsuit<\/a> with a deep V-neckline has a crossover wrap design with a self-tie that accentuates the waist, as does the strategic colorblocking that hits right at the waist. Offering medium coverage in the back, this popular swimsuit also has one of the highest percentages of spandex of any suit on the list, making it stretchy and comfy for all.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cI wore this on vacation last week. I love that the butt stays in place even when you walk. I have a long torso and this suit still fit perfectly. Highly recommend!!\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>13 | Sizes: <\/strong>XX-Small \u2014 X-Large | Material: <\/strong>80% Chinlon, 20% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 13<\/span><\/p>\n A Longline Bikini Top With Supportive Underwire…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For those looking for a bit more support up top, look no further than this bustier-style bikini top<\/a>, complete with padding, underwire, and wide adjustable straps, and that longline silhouette that nicely complements long torsos. It\u2019s available in bra sizing to ensure you\u2019ll find the perfect fit. Pair this with something you already have in your swimsuit drawer, or color match it to one of the brand\u2019s many bottoms<\/a>, like the one featured below.<\/p>\n Helpful review: <\/strong>\u201cThis top is wonderful for the well endowed. The under wire makes the girls stay \u2018up\u2019 and gave me a lot of confidence. For the price it’s definitely worth it! Very comfortable and the colors and print were exactly as pictured. Loved that the straps are adjustable and there are multiple slits to tighten in the back. Great swim top!\u201d<\/p>\n Colors: <\/strong>12 | Sizes: <\/strong>34C \u2014 44DD | Material: <\/strong>81% Polyester, 19% Spandex<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n 14<\/span><\/p>\n …& A Ruched, High-Waisted Bikini Bottom To Match<\/p>\n<\/div>\n These full-coverage, high-waisted bikini bottoms<\/a> have a vintage-inspired feel that\u2019s always on-trend.
