Eomenie High-Waisted Cutout Swimsuit
Have you ever seen a tummy-control swimsuit this chic? “Cut-out detailing is huge right now,” according to Sarah Heaton, head of product at Boohoo. So it makes sense that this skin-baring one-piece is a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon. The side ruching creates a slimming effect, while a criss-cross neckline and cutout give this pick a sexy, fashion-forward feel. Nearly 12,000 Amazon buyers give it five-star ratings.
“This swimsuit gave me life,” said one style-revived customer. “It enhanced my shape and has tummy control too. Any thick girl can rock this. I’ve received so many compliments.”
It comes in 22 colors and patterns, and sizes XS to 22-plus. $37 at Amazon

Holipick One-Shoulder Swimsuit,
Talk about a collision of sophistication and sex appeal. The one-shoulder silhouette and cutout work together to give this pick added allure. But, just in case tweaks are needed, the strap adjusts, and the suit comes with removable bra cups. Shoppers say it’s super comfortable, and the ruching on the tummy makes it incredibly flattering. Bonus: It comes in a variety of pretty jewel tones and vibrant colors that Kara Lacayo, VP of design at YITTY, says are trending this season.
One customer called it the “best swimsuit” they’ve ever had. “I am 40 years old and don’t have the body that I used to have, but still want to look cute in a swimsuit … The ruching on the side sort of hides my troubled tummy area without accentuating it.” Find 30-plus style options in sizes XXS to 20-plus. $36 at Amazon
