Animal prints have always been endlessly pervasive. They often enter our world through accessories (leopard print shoes, cow print bags) and make their way through the entirety of the zeitgeist. Eventually, this means swimwear. Sometimes over-the-top and others surprisingly neutral, plus-size animal print swimsuits have become an instant classic. After all, how could adorning different swimwear silhouettes with ever-trendy animal prints be wrong?
It should come as no surprise that leopard print is the most common animal pattern found on plus-size swimwear—but snake and zebra prints aren’t too far behind. Though leopard print can certainly be considered the OG of animal prints, newer patterns have been gaining popularity over the last several years. And this simply leaves us with even more chic options when it comes to diversifying our wardrobes.
The best part? Each and every animal print looks incredible on plus-size bikinis and one-pieces alike. Go for a classic snake print one-piece paired with a luxe kimono cover-up and an oversized sun hat this season. Or, try a high-waisted leopard print bikini with beach pants and itty bitty sunglasses. Thankfully, there are enough plus-size animal print swimsuits on offer right now to fill your entire summer wardrobe. A different swimwear option for every day of the week sounds great to us.
So get a little wild and treat yourself to an animal print swimsuit (or 10). These fierce pieces are bound to be your go-to picks this summer.
