Classy Swimsuits for Women Over 50 That Show You’ve Still Got It!

Your body may not be as fit, firm, and wrinkle-free as it was at 30 or even 40, but that doesn’t mean you can’t rock a swimsuit at 50+ and look fabulous at the beach.

I recently went on vacation, and before I left, I was dreading trying to find a swimsuit that would make me look and feel good.  Now, you may be thinking,  “Deborah, you’re slim; what do you have to worry about?”  But, even though I’m still in pretty good shape (due to years of consistent Pilates), I’m like anyone else and have areas I prefer to play down (or up).

Thankfully,  I came across a beautiful new collection of swimwear from Talbots that is modern, chic, and very figure-flattering.  Check out my new bathing suit and many other classy swimsuits for women our age that will make you look and feel modern, youthful, and confident.

Swimsuits for Women Over 50 – Talbots New Aqua Collection

My Swimsuit Goal – Sophisticated and Figure-Flattering

Let me start by saying that when it comes to the best swimsuits for women over 40, 50, or 60, whatever you want to wear to the beach is your business. So, if you feel like a hot babe in a thong bikini, please go right ahead!

However, for many women like me, the feeling that comes with getting older is wanting a more sophisticated type of Swimsuit—one that provides more coverage and hides trouble spots but isn’t frumpy. I mean, it’s got to look youthful and a little alluring, too! (It’s not over til it’s over—Lol!).

Talbots has released its fabulous Aqua Club Collection this year, and it’s everything I’m talking about! I’m starting with a gorgeous swimsuit that I think is the best of the bunch!

You Can’t Beat a Wrap Swimsuit

This is Talbot’s Faux Wrap One-Piece Swimsuit, and it has everything I need to look great and, more importantly, feel confident at the beach (because it can be stressful, right?). Here’s what I love about it. First is the style. You know how much I love a wrap dress, top, coat, anything. The reason is simple. A wrap style is universally flattering since it enhances an hourglass shape or creates one if you don’t have one. 

It whittles your waist, lifts the girls, and makes you look feminine and beautiful. This “wow” swimsuit is really well constructed. It’s got a flattering V-neck that crisscrosses over your bust just so and a waist-cinching side tie with elegant gold tips. That wrap style and all the ruching that goes with it hides that rounded mommy tummy we all have at midlife and beyond (unless you are very lucky!).

Great Coverage, Fit, and Color

You can see how great it looks here. The cups are soft and lined, and they have medium bottom coverage, so it’s not too cheeky but not dowdy, either! Oh, and did I mention what an incredible job this swimsuit does of holding you in as if you are wearing Spanx? It’s also super comfortable. You can actually breathe!

Finally, let’s not forget that color—tropical punch. A plain navy or black swimsuit is okay, but it’s most boring. Color, a color that suits you and your skin and hair, is what will give you life, energy, and vitality. Pink does it for me.

The Cutest Cover-up and Many More Styles!

Now, pink may not be your cup of tea. You may prefer a different style, but I highly suggest checking out Talbot’s new swimsuit collection because they have some real winners – both swimsuits and the most darling cover-ups!

This is their oversized Lace Eyelet shirt cover-up. I just adore the dainty embroidery mixed with the crisp white-hot summer look of a tailored shirt. There are plenty of other cute coverups, too, which reminds me that this collection is very easy to mix and match. You can buy a few pieces and create different swimwear looks.
