These Swimsuits That Cover Thighs Are Cute & Amazon Reviewer-Approved

With over 22,000 five-star ratings, this swim dress with a retro-inspired silhouette is a firm fan-favorite. Featuring a self-tie halter and gathered bust adorned with a decorative tie, this swim dress has removable padded cups for some support. Beneath the flowy skirt, which grazes over the tops of the thighs, is a pair of built-in shorts for added coverage. It comes in dozens of vintage prints, like the cute polka-dot and lemon print above.

Helpful review: “The skirt covers the top of thighs. [...] Fabric is silky, soft, and stretchy. [...] The embroidered roses are lovely and rich, looks very expensive. I usually bring 3 suits on vacation, but I’m only bringing this one from now on. It’s the only bathing suit I need. Sexy and yet modest enough to add an overskirt and wear to dinner with a shear coverup or shrug.”

Boasting over 12,000 five-star ratings, this popular swim dress has a sweetheart neckline and wide criss-cross straps for an elegant vibe. This swim dress likely won’t conceal your thighs entirely, but it does provide plenty of coverage along the upper thigh as well as some butt coverage thanks to a pair of built-in shorts.

Helpful review: “Not only is the pattern on the material beautiful (what caught my eye in the first place) but it fit so well! [...] It's all 1 piece so I don't have the line at my waist, it covers my thighs [...] I like the way I feel in it and I plan to buy more, just for the pattern now that I know that it fits well.

Sizes: Small — 6X-Large | Colors: 36 | Material: 85% Nylon, 15% Spandex

From afar, this adorable number may look like a one-piece swimsuit with a matching cover-up, but it’s actually a swim dress. From the waist up, it looks like a classic one-piece, complete with a scoop-neck silhouette, adjustable straps, and removable padding, plus a full-coverage bottom. This swim dress, however, offers more coverage across the tops of the thighs, thanks to a gathered skirt that mimics the look of a sarong. But if you’d like more thigh coverage, you can untie the knot so that the skirt hangs at an even length.

Helpful review: “I really like how this fits me. Especially the bra style straps, which are adjustable and wide enough that theyre not digging into my shoulders. [...] The chest coverage is doable. [...] I love the side slit feature, covers my inner thighs, exactly what I wanted. The torso is short, which is fine for me bc I have a short torso. If you have a longer torso this may not work for u. This one's a keeper for me!”
