Best for One-Pieces: Boden

• Why we love it: One-pieces come with supportive cup sizing; practical, modest silhouettes; sustainable initiatives
• What could improve: Pricey; limited sizing

This Kate Middleton–favorite brand has an extensive selection of perfect-fit options, many of which are good for active women (like moms) looking for a little extra coverage without sacrificing cuteness. Many of the brand’s one-pieces come with custom cup sizes, which is ideal for the gals with larger busts. Boden is also stocked with styles for both long and short torsos, and plenty of plus-size options.

Our favorite style: This is my all-time favorite bathing suit, and my only regret is that I only discovered it at 40. It took decades to find a one-piece that could give me the same support, lift, and shape as a swim top or a bra, so once I found Boden, which offers one-pieces with specific cup sizes (very rare!) I never looked back. —B.S. on her Boden Rhodes Underwire Suit
