18 Gender Neutral Swimsuits That'll Have You *Truly* Feeling Yourself

PSA: every body is a beach body.

By

"Honestly, I haven’t been swimming in ages, because I haven’t found anything I feel comfortable with." That's the DM I received when I asked Col Connelly (1/2 of non-binary, lesbian influencer couple @heycolanda) for gender neutral and non-binary swimwear recommendations. "A lot of queer/trans folx avoid swimming, honestly," Col explained to me via DM.

Connelly's response basically confirmed what I already had already witnessed firsthand in my own life as I watched my trans-feminine sibling shoot down every family beach vacation since they began their transition. After *finally* getting my sibling to agree to a week in Florida and then seeing that they only packed one swimsuit, I figured it was time to do some research on their behalf.

Ahead, I pulled together some of the best gender-neutral swimwear brands across the Internet — LGBTQ+ friendly companies that make tucking bikini bottoms, binder tops, swim trunks, rash guards, unitards, and everything in between, so you can feel 100% confident no matter your gender identity. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their swim gear, so the options below include plus-size-friendly, trans-friendly, wallet-friendly, and sporty, active picks for every person to unapologetically rock all throughout Summer 2023.

Below, our favorite nonbinary and gender-neutral swimwear that'll have you feeling soooo confident at the beach or pool this summer.
