At GNL, we believe that every body is a swimsuit body.
Yet, there is no “one swimsuit fits all.”
That is why, with the help of sites like Oprah Daily and Cosmopolitan, we compiled a list of inclusive, women-owned swimsuit brands for all shapes, sizes and styles— from bikinis to board shorts.
Remember: you cannot have fun in the sun without feeling confident, too!
