15 Fourth Of July Plus Size Swimsuits

The summer holidays are here, and next up? July 4. Whether you've got a family barbecue to head out to or a poolside party with friends, looking patriotic and stylish while you sip on sangria is always a good idea. These 15 plus size swimsuits for the Fourth of July will be the perfect option for your fashion needs if you've got an ocean, lake, or poolside celebration to head to over the long weekend. From one-pieces to string bikinis, there's a suit for all bodies.

The market for plus size swimsuits has increased dramatically in the past few years. With body positive activists, plus size fashion bloggers, and models working in collaboration with brands, retailers and labels have worked to increase their size ranges meaning that plus size ladies can snag looks that were unavailable to them only a few years earlier.

A great example of fashion expansion is model Ashley Graham's designs for swimsuitsforall. The online retailer of swimwear features gorgeous suits for all body types. Graham's latest designs, though, are special for their inclusion of low-rise and string bikinis. While swimsuits have come quite a long way, the inclusion of low-rise bottoms and string designs is unique, and good news for plus size, ladies, they're available just in time for July 4.

While these 15 plus size swimsuits for July 4 aren't exactly an exhaustive list, they're a great starting place with some seriously killer retailers.
