Gurls, don’t leave me hateful comments; it’s not my fault that swimsuit season is here! I’ll be posting swimsuits and coverups several times over the next few weeks, but I thought I’d start today with the best flattering and fashionable black swimsuits. Black is a classic color; it looks good with a tan, and let’s face it – black suits tend to be slimming. Probably should have led with that, lol. Anyway, I’ve got some great suits for you to see – from sexy to modest. Enjoy!

The Best Flattering and Fashionable Black Swimsuits – Va-Voom

Mesh One Shoulder Swimsuit (Large) | Black Leopard Kimono (Large) | Oluaki Sandals (Sized up) | Large Hoop Earrings

This is one of my all-time favorite swimsuits! The one-shoulder style is different and so sexy, and the mesh cut-outs show some skin, but not really. Lol! The small strap is removable, but I like the added support. I usually wear a size 12 or a large swimsuit, and this one fits me perfectly.

Even the cutest swimsuit needs a great cover-up! This flowy Black Leopard Kimono is gorgeous! It is a showstopper, and I got a lot of heads turned as I walked by in it. I’m wearing a large, and it is plenty roomy.

2 Piece Ruffle High Waist Swimsuit (Large) | Black and White Kimono | Oluaki Sandals (Sized up) | Large Hoop Earrings

I’m not a 2-piece kind of gurl. I have way too many lumps, bumps, and rolls, plus I have a large scar from gallbladder surgery. But I know some of you love a good 2-piece swimsuit, and this one is fabulous.

The ruffle sleeves add a lot of drama to this swimsuit, and I love the high-waisted bottoms. If I was going to wear a two-piece, this would be the one! Like with the first swimsuit, I added a gorgeous cover-up. The Black and White Kimono is beautiful and could be worn with a pair of white jeans and a black tee for a dramatic outfit.

The black and white design of the Texture Square Neck Tankini and Texture High Waisted Bikini looks so classy and chic. It gives off Marilyn Monroe or Coco Chanel vibes to me, especially paired with an oversized black pair of sunglasses!

Here is a photo of the cute tankini shorts. By the way, my sunglasses are prescription, and they are from Walmart Vision Center.

The One-Shoulder Keyhole Tankini top is long and has plenty of stretch. I actually like the cut-out, and I think it is a cute detail. The Mid-Waist Swim Bottoms have great coverage, and the crisscross design helps to camouflage tummy issues. I’m wearing a size 12 on the top and bottom, and they both fit great. Here is a floppy hat and the leopard print cover-up.

Va-Va-Voom! I love this swimsuit. It’s got an adorable ruffle at the hem and a plunging neckline that ties up in the back, which is just a chef’s kiss. It also comes with padding for great support. Whether you’re jetting off on a tropical vacation or just lounging by the pool, this swimsuit is the perfect pick. It’s available in sizes XS to XXL.

Hello, Sexy! This one-piece swimsuit with a V-neck and mesh details is a must-have. It’s got that perfect mix of classy and sassy, with a variety of colors and patterns to choose from if you’re not a fan of black. The material is super stretchy and dries quickly, plus it offers great tummy control and a flattering fit. Only $20 dollars!

This little number is all about giving you that hourglass look with its smart ruching and tummy control. Yes, please! Plus, it comes in all the colors of the rainbow (and then some) in addition to the black, so you can pick the perfect one to make your tan pop. The adjustable straps and push-up features are nice, and the crisscross creates a great slimming effect.

The Best Flattering and Fashionable Black Swimsuits – Zippered

Looking for something sporty? This CUPSHE one-piece swimsuit brings a unique touch with its mock neck and zipper design, paired with short sleeves for a sleek look. Made from a blend of nylon and spandex, it promises both comfort and style. Keep the black and add a pop of color with a cute cover-up, or check out the other colors and styles at the link.

Land’s End always comes through! This swimsuit combines sporty vibes with a touch of femininity, thanks to its high neck and zip-front design. This swimwear combines aesthetics and durability with its chlorine-resistant spandex and offers UPF 50 fabric for sun protection, ensuring both longevity and safety.

The Best Flattering and Fashionable Black Swimsuits – Modest

Black Striped Tankini (Size Large) | Foldable Hat | Oluaki Sandals (Sized up) | Large Hoop Earrings

This is another tankini but with a striped trim. It is more flowy and doesn’t fit as tightly. It is so different and you could always wear the pieces separately with a different top or bottom. The bottoms are boy shorts, for a more modest look.

Want something a bit more modest that doesn’t say “Grandma”? This suit is for you! It’s a swim dress that doubles as a one-piece, giving you coverage without sacrificing the fun of a swimsuit. Designed with tummy control in mind, it helps create a flattering silhouette. Plus, the adjustable straps and removable padded bras mean you can customize the fit to feel just right. With a variety of patterns and colors, this swim dress is perfect for those who want to feel confident and cute.


This swim dress from SlenderSuit™ combines elegance with practicality. The design ensures thigh coverage and a flattering shape with its wrap style and crisscross bust detail. Made with firming Slendertex® fabric, it smooths and shapes your figure. Where have you been all my life?! It also comes in a dark plum if you prefer.

This is a VERY modest swimsuit and features a knit fabric construction, meaning it’s got both durability and a flattering fit. The design features a back crossover for style, incorporates tummy control for a sleek look, and includes soft cups for added support. If it’s too basic in black for you, good news. It’s available in over 40 other colors and prints!

This swim dress is all about embracing your femininity while staying protected and comfortable. Chlorine-resistant fabric makes it incredibly durable, ensuring it retains its beauty even after many visits to the pool. The design includes a wrap front and tulip hemline, which flatter all body types, and adjustable straps for the perfect fit. Plus, it has built-in coverage and offers UPF 50 sun protection.
