Swimsuits Look Ridiculously Good With Belts

Adding a belt to your swimsuit? It’s not as absolutely buck-wild as it sounds. Sure, bathing suits and belts are an odd pairing, but brands Good American and Missguided have been releasing some seriously cute plus-size belted swimsuits worth testing out this season. Warm weather—or, if you’re lucky, cold weather and access to a hot tub (!)—calls for adorable poolside ‘fits and beach-ready ensembles. And swimsuits are definitely an integral part of these looks. So rather than covering up your bathing suit, let it star as the main attraction—with the help of some belts, of course.

Crafting pool party outfits or beachside looks is all about balance. You don’t want to wear pieces that will have you sweating within five minutes, but you also want to show up in an ensemble that’s more than a one-piece and oversized t-shirt. (This combo is a great casual go-to—just not quite Instagram-photoshoot-ready.) Believe it or not, plus-size belted swimsuits make the art of warm weather dressing so much easier.

Essentially, belted bathing suits are almost an entire outfit. You have a top and chic accessory combined into one piece. All that’s let to add is a sheer kimono and wedges or an oversized button down (unbuttoned, of course) and sunnies. These swimsuits practically style poolside and beach looks for you. So you can focus less time on putting together an ensemble and more time soaking up the sun.

From options that feature matching belts for a subtle look to swimsuits with contrasting statement belts, there’s a little something for everyone. Plus-size belted swimsuits are such a fun and simple way to spice up your warm weather looks—transforming your bathing suit into a full-blown outfit. We’ll take it, thanks.
