Best One-Piece Bathing Suit for Women Over 50

UV Skinz’s Women’s Long Sleeve Half Zip Swimsuit 

Pros:

• Provides sun protection with UPF 50+
• Flattering
• Available in sizes XS to 4XL
• Stylish
• Double lining for full coverage
• Built-in bra 

For a flattering, high-quality bathing suit you can wear at any age, UV Skinz’s Women’s Long-Sleeve Half Zip Swimsuit is a dream come true. Available in sizes XS to 4XL this swimsuit works with all ages and body types. This swimsuit doesn’t ride up and offers moderate coverage for women looking for a more modest one-piece. 

If you’re a lap swimmer, you will love the thumb holes on the sleeves, which protect your hands from the sun’s rays - if you’ve had squamous cell cancer on the back of your hands, this is a big relief. 

If you spend a lot of time outside at the beach, the pool, or by the lake, you will be thankful for the suit’s UPF 50+ rating, which protects you from 98% of the sun’s rays. 

According to our customer Marci P “ I love (this bathing suit), and the thumb holes work great to keep full coverage while swimming laps. The thicker fabric is definitely more than typical suits, yet keeps its shape when wet just fine. The front clasp on the built-in bra makes getting it on easy. The style and colors are flattering for a 60-something woman.”

Best Swim Tank for Mature Women

Pros:

For a modest swim tank top that accentuates your curves at any age and size, check out our Women’s Racerback Swim Tank. You can pair this with our Women’s Classic Swim Jammerz, which are best-selling long swim shorts for women for a flattering look.

Many women like the look and feel of a tank top with swim shorts or swim leggings as a one-piece can ride up or not offer the best tummy control. Our swim tank top is a bestseller thanks to its flattering fit. 

Take our customer Pammy's word for it, “I am shy of 64 years old and wanted modest suits to wear at the pool and beach. (This one has) great coverage! You cannot go wrong with purchasing from this company. I keep coming back to buy more and more. Age-appropriate clothing for any size and shape. I am so happy with my purchases.”
