When it comes to my swimwear preferences, a little modesty in the derrière area goes a long way. I'm not quite sure why, but I've never been fully comfortable with super-cheeky bottoms. In the past, cool swimsuit options with this in mind were hard to find—they tended to skew toward a much older crowd and mainly came as black or navy one-pieces. Lately, however, the stylish options that offer great butt coverage are much more plentiful.
With summer on the horizon, I began perusing some of my favorite online stores in search of the latest offerings with a modest bum cut. I rounded up 30 cool options—from bikinis to one-pieces in both classic styles and trendy designs—that will have you covered (literally) all season long. Scroll through to shop my top picks of the moment. There is an option available for every budget and every personal style. You're welcome.
