Warm weather is here! And if you’re looking forward to swimming and other fun summer activities involving water, you’re going to need a swimsuit. If you’re over a certain age, you might feel like bathing suit shopping is a daunting task. You want to look cute but have support and coverage at the same time. The good news is that there are plenty of really comfortable and flattering swimsuits for women over 50, and we’ve rounded them up for you right here.

Included on this list are classic one-piece swimsuits, swim dresses, tankinis, and even a few two-piece high-waisted swimsuits and vintage-inspired swimsuits that are just the right amount of revealing. These swimsuits for older women accentuate natural curves and feature details like underwire, tummy control, high necks, and ruffled skirts. And there's something at every price point, including super affordable Walmart swimsuits and options from Amazon.

So scroll through our top picks and get ready to hit that beach or pool with confidence and comfort! Just don't forget your straw hat to protect your head, comfortable flip-flops for the walk over, and lots and lots of sunscreen. That family beach vacation waits for no one, and you'll enjoy every minute of it in these bathing suits, whether you're catching a few rays or swimming a few laps.

A great price, 30 different print and color combos to choose from, and a more relaxed silhouette? Add this to your cart now! The halter tankini and peek-a-boo skort will look as cute in the water as they do when you're walking down the boardwalk.

Show off your shoulders with this swim dress featuring a flattering criss-cross neckline. This pick also features wire-free molded cups for extra support and a control lining at the midriff for a streamlined silhouette.

Whether you're a size 8 or a size 34, you'll be able to find your perfect fit in this sarong-front style. It offers just enough coverage in the front without feeling too matronly along with tummy control and full bust support for flattering lines. It comes in 15 prints and solids, too!

Isn't this pretty little ruffled number just the right amount of flirty? It comes with adjustable straps and removable padding for a customized fit, shirred sides for added tummy control, and it's available in over a dozen colors, too! Plus, have you checked out that price?

If you want more coverage for your legs, go for a swim dress that actually looks like a regular A-line dress! You can go from pool deck to pool in stylish comfort. This dress is available in petites, regular, and long lengths and is offered in sizes 2 to 24 with several cup size options, too.

If you like a looser fit at your waistline, try this blouson tankini. The printed peekaboo bra and boy shorts keep it stylish while the rest keeps you covered. That's a win-win! There are three other print options available, too.

Two words: superior compression. That's what makes this one-piece such a flattering style. Oh, and of course there's the fun one-shoulder silhouette and diagonal paneling for slimmer lines. We love this colorblock look in every version Summersalt offers, but there are solid and print options as well.

If you want to strike the right balance between coverage and feminine flair, try a swim dress! This option has tummy control and shirring on the sides to accentuate your figure, and it comes in seven different prints in sizes S to 5X.

Another way to add coverage for your midsection without losing your fashion sense is with tiered ruffles! This fun find pairs a patterned flounce top with built-in soft cups and solid, full-coverage boy shorts. Check out the dozens of color options!

It's all about the fabric for this Grecian look. It smooths and shapes your figure, has UPF protection, and lasts up to ten times longer than suits from competitors. And that blue ombré? Well, it makes this pick simply stunning!

What we love about this high-neck option are the flattering shirred sides, the push-up padded bra to hold you in place, the peek-a-boo mesh detail, and the whopping 35 different print options. You'll find stylish mesh details on the back, too!

One five-star reviewer called this "modest but adorable," and we couldn't agree more! The skirt adds some coverage, the shirring at the sides provides shape, and that one-shoulder detail is so fun.

Another way to try a bikini is by going retro! This vintage-inspired look pairs a high-waisted, pleated bottom and a push-up halter top that will keep everything in place. Go for a classic print like polka dots or try one of the dozens of other print and solid combos.

If you really want extra support for your bust, this simple yet stylish one-piece is for you. You can choose your band and cup size up to GG for the ultimate comfort and customization. Plus, it comes in four pretty solid colors. We love the ties at the sides for added style, too!

If you are comfortable showing a little more skin, by all means, go for it! This bikini offers just the right amount of coverage thanks to the flounce top and high-waisted bottom with tummy control. We love the mix of print and solid color, and you can find nearly 30 different options in this style.

If you're a water sport person, go with a brand that's designed for it: Speedo! This one-piece is durable and comfortable, allowing you to do all the activities you want to do. With a wide selection of colors and sizes, you'll surely find the right one for you.
