The Best Aerie Bathing Suits

This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them helps support this website. This post may also contain items gifted for consideration.

On the hunt for the best Aerie Bathing Suits? These Aerie one piece bathing suits (and a couple two pieces) will totally flatter a pear shaped body and they’re an amazing price! Looking for Aerie Bathing Suits? This two piece swim suit has great support and is super flatter on a pear shaped body!

Am I the only one who is totally obsessed with Aerie? Their messaging about real beauty, their decision as a company to not airbrush their models, their use of a variety of body types and skin tones in every ad campaign? Yup, I love it.  And bonus? They make affordable items that actually flatter women with curves (especially us pear shaped ladies).  Aerie one piece bathing suits are some of my favorites, and this year I even grabbed a two piece to try out.  I wanted to share my picks from their current swim collection…..plus a few bonus items that I’m so glad I snagged.

The Best Aerie Bathing Suits (plus a few more items you need to own)

A few tips for any bathing suits for a PEAR SHAPED BODY:

  • you want to draw the eyes towards your narrow upper body….a great neckline, a brighter or lighter color on top, and embellishments will do this perfectly
  • find pieces that fit well and flatter your curves, you want to accentuate that small waist and midsection instead of hiding your body
  • try different fabrics and patterns to see what feels best to you, I’m a fan of bright colors and stripes…..but you may like something different with your skin tone

Shop all Aerie Bathing Suits:

Looking for great Aerie bathing suits? This color blocked bathing suit is absolutely ADORABLE and super flattering!

AERIE PLUNGE COLOR BLOCK ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT (size large): You guys have seen this suit a TON….I bought it a couple months ago.  It’s honestly PERFECT for a pear shape.  I love that it’s darker on the bottom, and draws the eyes upward.  It has built in cups and great support.  This may be my favorite of all my Aerie one piece bathing suits.

On the hunt for a striped bathing suit? This is adorable! // Aerie Bathing Suits

AERIE “THE ONE” PIECE RACERBACK SWIMSUIT (size large): I own this suit in both a striped version and a solid blue one.  I love the stripes, the colors are super vibrant and fun.  It’s definitely a little higher cut, and this is an unlined suit.

Looking for Aerie Bathing Suits? This two piece swim suit has great support and is super flatter on a pear shaped body!

AERIE LONGLINE BANDEAU BIKINI TOP (size medium): Yes, I even tried a two piece this time!  And I have to say, I loved this cut.  The bandeau top offered great support with the straps, and the bottom was a way more flattering cut than I expected.  I even got a super cute matching kimono coverup  that I’ll get a TON of use out of this summer.  So yes ladies, wear the two piece!

Other Aerie Items:

While they aren’t bathing suits, there are a couple of other Aerie items that I absolutely LOVE. Looking for athleisure wear? These workout leggings are the BEST!

AERIE MOVE COLOR BLOCK 7/8 LEGGING (size large): These Aerie 7/8 leggings are my go to work out pants.  They’re comfortable, hold up REALLY well over time, and are perfectly high waisted.  As a pear shaped body type, one of my pet peeves is that my larger hips push down leggings as I run.  I HATE having to tug at my pants mid race as they slowly migrate south.  These? High waisted enough to stay in place.

Looking for athleisure wear? These workout leggings are the BEST!

AERIE CHILL HIGH WAISTED TIE DYE LEGGING (size large): These high waisted leggings are a softer fabric, and they’re perfect for travel days or lounging around the house.  I also love them for yoga or pilates classes.  They come in a ton of fun colors, and I just ordered them in a second color.  I wore them with a matching sports bra to an event recently and got a TON of compliments.

AERIE HAPPY CAMPER SWEATSHIRT (size medium): BEST sweatshirt ever.  This sweatshirt is super soft, comfy and the perfect length.

Have you tried any of these Aerie Bathing Suits? What are your favs?

❤️ This photo shoot is one of them for me. Bravery and stepping out in faith looks different for each of us.  But this is my reminder to y’all and myself…..that when you show yourself in whatever way that looks like for you…….the people who are supposed to be in your life……will be.⠀

🧡 Cheers to thick thighs, bravery that comes with age, and (no apologies) seeing beauty in ourselves. #troopselflove

⠀
🧡<Sponsored by Avrio Health> Let’s be honest, this normally falls to the wayside, am I right?  As parents, we tend to be way more prepared for our kids' sick days than our own. ⠀
⠀
💛This year, I’m committing to being AS PREPARED to take care of myself as I am to take care of Lydia (reminder moms, these aren’t mutually exclusive….taking care of YOURSELF is important too). I always keep “sick day supplies” on hand for Lydia and this year I'm finally making myself a priority too. ⠀
⠀
💚In my "Sick Day" Kit:⠀
1️⃣Orange Juice:  If I start to feel sick…..Vitamin C filled juice is first up!⠀
2️⃣ @Betadine_us Antiseptic Sore Throat Gargle: This fast-acting gargle temporarily relieves occasional sore throat. I stocked up on this! You can #UpYourGargleGame by buying it at Walgreens or from Amazon! Betadine Gargle should be used as directed for adults and children 12 years and older. See product labeling for directions and warnings. ⠀
3️⃣Heating Pad: Sore muscles? Slept poorly? All of these things tend to come along with sick days and a heating pad is a must have.⠀
4️⃣Ice Packs: I started stocking extra ice packs in our freezer in case of headaches.⠀
5️⃣Soup: Tummy trouble? Better to have soup on hand for when I need it.⠀

Watch out for that glass ladies……it’s everyw Watch out for that glass ladies……it’s everywhere!

To broken glass ceilings, rebuilding our nation, and starting the journey of 1000 miles with a single step.

Joy cometh in the morning.
📣How are you using your Influence?📣⠀
⠀
💛I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. We ALL have influence…..on this app, in our church pews, on our personal social media, in our private conversations, talking from 6 feet apart to our neighbors, in the way we address conflicting viewpoints (note to self on this one), over our children and our students.  To be in community with others is to have influence.  How are we each using it? ⠀
⠀
💛This lady? We’re talking all about Inspiration this month and she’s one of mine.  At 75 years old (happy birthday Dolly), not only is she one of THE most successful recording artists…..but talk about using your influence.  From speaking up to say that Black Lives Matter to founding her Imagination Library which provides books to children worldwide…..this lady proactively uses her talent and influence to serve others.  May I do the same at the ripe age of 75.⠀
⠀
💛So what does that look like for me? Authentic conversation everywhere…..including here.  To be transparent, every time I’ve spoke up about basic human rights here in the last few years…….people leave our community. And that? Is just fine with me.  Because, what good is this community if I can't speak about the values that are a core part of who I am? Now? I want to do more. A foundation? Charity work? I’m not sure, but I can tell you…..I’m inspired and I hope you are too.  Change starts with us.⠀
⠀
💛(ps, if you want to support Dolly’s Imagination Library, a book is donated to it for every one of these sweatshirts sold….I include the info here for those of you on like to know it and in my profile for the rest of y’all).⠀

✨Story time.  I rarely share pictures of Lydia by herself on here.  But this? Is a story of when my seven year old reminded me how to love myself.  We had plans to shoot a BUNCH of images at once, a batch shoot.  So as Lydia watched me planning outfits and get organized, she decided she wanted to do her own thing.  She picked an outfit and her favorite shoes. ⠀
⠀
✨And she did the darn thing.  This? She picked the angle and background.  And the joy? Look at the joy.  That’s not posed. ⠀
⠀
✨Somewhere along the way…..as tweens or teens or adults, we lose the joy.  The, I feel pretty and want to twirl in my dress joy.  We worry that our thighs are rubbing together or our hair looks weird, or that we should be wearing a darker color to minimize things.  And…..we’re missing the point.  Sometimes, you just need a dress you can twirl in with a smile on your face.⠀
⠀
✨Thanks Lydia. ⠀

These photos are something I told myself a million times I wanted to take.  And something I told myself a million times I shouldn’t.  Here’s to the millionth time plus one.  A 41 year old curvy mom.  Yup, thick thighs and all.  And I’m so proud of how they turned out.⠀
