The 10 Best Swimsuits at Nordstrom, Editor Tested and Approved

Dippin Daisys Rebel Shorts ($56)

Whether you're in between waxes or laser sessions or just want a bit more bottom coverage, these swim shorts couldn't be cuter. They feature a ruffled hem and would look great paired with practically any two-piece top you own, whether it's a neon option for contrast or a coordinating black bikini top.

PS by Cupshe Underwire Cheeky One-Piece Swimsuit ($75)

Looking for a bit more support from your swimwear? This suit has underwire at the bust to resemble a bra. From the bright floral print to the back-hook closure, this one-piece is the perfect way to feel bold and comfortable for a beach day.

Sunkissed Le Triangle Swin Top ($79, originally $98) and Sunkissed Le Triangle Swim Bottom ($79)

If you're going the string bikini route, you might as well combine it with an iconic print. This leopard-print option features a classic triangle top that's easy to adjust and a cheeky, high-waisted bottom that you can adjust for a customized fit.

Lands' End Square Neck High Leg One Piece Swimsuit ($93, originally $125)

This swimsuit features a square neckline, thick, supportive straps, and a flattering high cut to elongate legs. The color-block design accentuates curves in the best way, and the fabric is chlorine-resistant.

Tommy Bahama Island Cays Cabana Ruffle Tankini Top ($96, originally $128) and Tommy Bahama Island Cays Cabana High Waist Skirted Bikini Bottoms ($100)

If you're after a swimsuit that offers more coverage but doesn't look dowdy, this cute, ruffled skirt and tankini option almost looks like something you'd throw on to hit the tennis court. The ruffles offer a slightly flirty vibe and the skirt is high-waisted, so you can pull it up or cinch it down.

Kulani Kinis Scoop Neck Halter Cheeky One-Piece Swimsuit ($98)

Halter tops, dresses, and swimsuits are everywhere for summer 2026. This chic black one-piece is the perfect way to join in on the trend. Bonus points for the adjustable tie top so you can find the ideal fit each time.

Vitamin A Cosmo Rib Bikini Top ($100)

When people talk about swimsuit basics I immediately think of a classic black triangle top. I've worn this ribbed bikini for two summers in a row and consider it one of my go-to pieces. The subtle gold rings add a bit of personality to the traditional style, while the color and design easily match any bottom.

Andie Malibu Ribbed One-Piece Swimsuit ($128)

If you're looking for a bathing suit that can be buttoned up for lap swimming or unbuttoned for a cruise, this ribbed one-piece is a favorite among Nordstrom customers and our former shopping editor. She gives it high marks for comfort, versatility, and style.

Editor Quote: "Sporty but flattering, this has quickly become my go-to swimsuit. The full back coverage means I can easily re-apply my own sunscreen and the compression holds me in without feeling constrictive. It also doubles as a bodysuit, so I can throw on a skirt or linen pants and head from the pool to dinner — a beach vacation dream." — Angela Elias, former contributing shopping editor

LSPACE Sunrise Shell Bikini Top ($130) and LSPACE Lucia Bitsy Bikini Bottoms ($95)

For a splurge-worthy swimsuit that will turn heads, it doesn't get better than this shell bikini. Outfitted with scalloped and ribbed cups and pearlescent beads, the underwire bikini top gives total mermaid vibes. The cheeky bottom offers a bit more coverage than a thong, so it's a nice go between.

Beach Riot Amber One-Piece Swimsuit ($158)

If your summer aesthetic leans more bold and vibrant, this neon striped one-piece is the perfect investment. The print feels trendy, but not too youthful, while the removable straps let you customize the finished look.
