For decades, the Body Glove brand has been synonymous with surf gear straight from the beaches of Southern California. The company that introduced the first practical wetsuit in the 1950s has gone on to create clothing, swimwear, snorkeling equipment, and even sunglasses for people in the rest of the country as well. The Body Glove swimsuit line is especially versatile, ranging from bikinis to halters to one-pieces so that every beach body has great options for fun in the sun. We’ve gathered a list of some of our favorite Body Glove bathing suits to help you enjoy the line as well.
Beautiful Black
Body Glove’s Vision swimsuit style combines the classic look of basic black fabric with the flexibility in design that works for many women. Whether you plan to lounge on a chair in the sand to work on your tan or jump on a surfboard to ride the waves, Body Glove’s Vision line has an option for you.
For example, those who like a little action with their beach time might try the Fearless High Neck Sporty Crop swimsuit, which offers plenty of support when playing volleyball or Frisbee in the sand. Women seeking quiet time reading a book on a towel might prefer the Baby Love Adjustable Triangle swimsuit for maximum tanning exposure. The halter neck and strappy style of the Alani Halter swimsuit make for a fashion-forward choice that includes a sheer panel above the cups for added intrigue.
The Vision collection also includes an attractive one-piece swimsuit, which features a sexy sheer panel with a deep-V shape in the front and on the back straps. There’s the added bonus of a cross strap in the back to prevent slippage during beach time adventures.
Tropical Delight
Nothing offers a feel for the exotic like a colorful tropical print, and the Body Glove Waikiki collection has nailed it. Jungle flowers and leaves provide a wide color palette for this line, which shares some features of the Vision collection above. The Waikiki Alani Halter swimsuit also features the strappy side design and scoop neck in front. For even more coverage and support, the Elena High Neck Crop swimsuit has a two-way adjustable back made all the prettier by the tropical print of the fabric.
Both the Vision and Waikiki Body Glove collections feature bikini tops with the security of underwire support. The removable soft cups and two-way back straps can give you confidence when riding your wakeboard or unpacking the picnic gear.
Blast of Color
Our favorite Body Glove options, however, come from the Wanderer collection. The colorful fabric shows a blast of tropical hues on a black background. Plus, many of the pieces are reversible with a blue and white geometric pattern on the opposite side as the floral print. The Alani Halter design is available in the Wanderer line, as is the Elena High Neck Crop.
The most dynamic offering in the Body Glove Wanderer collection is the Echo Crop swimsuit, which falls somewhere between a bikini and tankini for length and has a multi-strap back that can certainly turn head on the beach. A close second is the Flare Reversible Triangle swimsuit with its intricate back styling and dual options for fabrics.
Bottoms
The Body Glove swimsuit line includes a number of different bottom options so that you can choose your preferred level of coverage. Some feature flounces, straps, or cutouts to increase their individuality.
The designers at Body Glove have brought the brand a long way since twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell first entered the beach scene with their Dive ‘N’ Surf shop. You can take advantage of their innovations and sense of style with any selection from their swimsuit line.
