It’s become somewhat of a summer tradition to share with you our favorite modest two-piece swimsuits for girls, because teensy triangle bikini tops just feel wrong to lots of parents of girls who haven’t even hit puberty yet. And maybe, if we can get them excited about how cute sportier suits can be, maybe it will make those teenage shopping years a little easier? (If we’re lucky.)
We love the convenience of a two-piece for mixing and matching styles, quick bathroom trips, and the fact that those tankinis can grow with our girls into next summer. Plus, these kinds of swimsuits are not fussy at all, which means our girls can play hard and have fun without fixing, re-tying, squirming about during cannonball contests and deep-diving games. So, we checked out our favorite stores — Hanna Andersson, Tea Collection, J. Crew, and a few others — to find some cool two-pieces for all our daughters, whose styles range from girly girl to sporty to modern and minimalist.
Also — bonus! — tons of these are on sale now, which means you can get great deals, but sizes are selling out fast so shop quickly!
