Cute swimsuit with some coverage for teen?

[Anonymous]

Teen is happy with her bikini, which is a little “cheeky.” I don’t care at all; I’m glad she’s found something she likes.

She is going to an event for work where she has to wear a bathing suit, and she told me she thinks she’d like a different one for that.

She hasn’t done swim team since she was 9, so a team suit isn’t an option.

I’m not sure if she wants a two piece with one inch more coverage or something more modest. I know she is socially anxious in general, and she will really want something socially acceptable to other teens.

Any ideas of types of suits/store ideas? She wears a size 2 or 4, and is partially developed, but can’t always fill out tops.

try target or macys or lands end. maybe a tankini would be good for this.

Target has a bunch of cute suits with long sleeves - that might be an option?

What, no.

OP try Nordstrom. Or Target, but not long sleeves that's ridiculous. Unless talking about a rag shirt which can get at Macys or south moon under etc. in cute styles.

Np. There are cute ones with long sleeves, actually. They are usually cropped.

Cap sleeve suits or ones with a ruffle neck are very in right now.

A swim romper? For a teen?
And these people call perfume unfashionable😆

I guess depends how much coverage she wants. Bathing suits and work is awful, unless you are a lifeguard or camp counselor.
My teen wears an title Ix bikini that has swim shorts or miniskirt with a cropped halter top. Lots of tummy showing but no cleavage or butt. I think it’s pretty cute.
The top is basically this:

Athlete has similar tops in solid colors and I think maybe gap too? The halter top style works well for girls that don’t fill out some of the other tops.

My DD wears long sleeve rash guards at all times, in the pool or ocean. She will burn otherwise. She's a ginger. Sunscreen alone is not going to do it.

Thank you!

OP here. I think some of the Tyr suits look about right. Maybe a black cut-out one piece. She’s very picky, due to anxiety, so hopefully she’ll get on board.

Ruffles, flowers, Lands End, and sleeves are all not happening.

Thank you. She is a non-lifeguard aquatics employee who has to wear a bathing suit for a training. She was caught off-guard, as her uniform will be shorts and an employee t-shirt.

I like that top. I’ll try to guide her towards these web sites. Athleta hadn’t occurred to me, but that might be the right blend of young/cool and a little bit modest.

+1 I would go for a more “athletic” styled suit. See what they have at a place like Dick’s or another sporting goods store. Suit will come across as practical for activity, but not too mature or old-lady style.

DD wears athletic looking tankinis. We have purchased at Target and Amazon in the past. I google tankini and have her look at styles online.
