We also love the simple, yet fun patterns that up your swim style in the best way.

Swim and Beachwear Collection from Duluth Trading Co.
Moms looking for swimwear that can withstand an active day at the beach should definitely check out the new line from Duluth. You'll find mix-and-match pieces that will let you dig a sandcastle, go for a swim and lug that overfilled wagon down a long beach. We especially love the thoughtful details like anti-slip grippers (to prevent the dreaded ride up), adjustable straps and everyone's favorite—pockets! Pieces include a one-piece swim dress, swim shorts, tankini top and long-sleeve shirt for extra projection.

Swimwear from Boden USA
Boden is another brand that consistently attracts mom fans every swimsuit season. Their breadth of styles and patterns ensures you’ll find something to fit your taste. Pictured here is Boden’s Santorini swimsuit, which features body-sculpting lining, a built-in shelf bra with lightly padded cups and boning at the side seam for extra support and flattering side paneling. Bonus: it’s machine washable and is made with material that’ll give you enough support to chase your toddler through waves, splash pads and slip ‘n’ slides.
Available at BodenUSA, $90 & up.
Raspberry Tie-Dye One Piece from Terez
There's much to love about the swimsuit collection for Terez, but we love that while their one-piece suits provide ample coverage, they come in tons of fabulous prints! The fully-lined pieces have cute coverage in the front and offer a low back to give a simple style a little more pizazz! We also loved that they are made from a recycled poly blend that results in a silky feel with tons of stretch.
Available at Terez, $180.
The Tulum from Andie
While there are several Andie suits to choose from, including these new styles and a maternity suit, we were especially wowed by this simple one-piece that reminds us of the swim team suits of our youth with a little added class. The criss-cross back straps offer added support and you can choose from over a dozen different colors.
Available at Andie Swim, $95.
Tempt Me Tankini
This tankini has a ruched waist, which makes for added tummy control, a high one-shoulder strap that means everything stays in place and includes a padded push-up bra for extra support. Sizes range from XS to XXL and come in over 15 different colors and prints.
Available at Amazon, $34.99.
Nursing Suit from MOLOCO
Leave it to a mom to create a nursing-friendly swimwear line that's stylish and functional. Mika Oakes, the brains behind MOLOCO, is a former fashion industry insider, yoga teacher and mama to a five-year-old son in Brooklyn. Her designs include one- and two-pieces, both perfect for nursing moms. Each one features a hidden nursing panel for easy access for baby (read: no annoying clips here that'll expose your whole breast). Bonus: the style is versatile enough to wear both pre-and post-breastfeeding.
Available at Moloco, $128.
