Sparkly Swimsuits Are the Staple of the Summer

As if lounging by the pool or on the beach weren’t enough to give you major main character energy, plus-size sparkly swimsuits are kicking things up a notch. They’re flirty. They’re functional. And they’re chic enough to make you the star of your own summer fantasy. With a fruity drink in your hand and the sun making that glitter shine to the nines, how could you possibly be anyone’s sidekick? Embrace the glam this season and step into the spotlight.

Thankfully, the huge (!) assortment of styles makes the glitter swimsuit trend a breeze to try. Odds are, your favorite swimwear silhouette is available in a sparkly iteration—whether it’s a one piece that hugs all the right places or a barely-there bikini. And because these styles often look less like typical swimsuits and more like very chic tops, you can wear ’em from beach to bar without a hitch. (We especially love a one piece that doubles as a bodysuit!)

Whether you’re headed on vacay or have pool access all summer long, plus-size sparkly swimsuits are here to make the season a little brighter—literally. This trend is an instant mood booster and deserves a spot in your warm-weather wardrobe.


Here at Unruly, we’re committed to featuring plus-size pieces we genuinely love and want to share with you.
