As soon as the temperatures rise above 70 degrees, you will find me in a swimsuit. Having grown up in Arizona, I have spent countless summers lounging by the pool and finding any excuse to be in the water as often as possible. Trust me, it’s the only way to survive the scorching heat of 115 degrees. Although I may not have as much time to spend poolside these days due to adulting responsibilities, I always make sure to stock up on a variety of bikinis and one-pieces so I’m prepared for any summer adventure, like a weekend beach trip. So, you can imagine my excitement when I discovered Free People’s Free-est swimwear line – a collection that prioritizes style, functionality, and sustainability.
Thanks to Free People, I had the opportunity to try out a piece from the collection and experience its unique materials, patterns, and fits. I chose to test out the Free-est Amber One-Piece Swimsuit ($168) in a limited-edition print. Although my exact pattern is no longer available, the collection offers a variety of prints each season, such as the Free-est Amber Printed One-Piece Swimsuit ($178).
The moment I slipped into the swimsuit, I knew I had found my go-to piece for the season. As someone with a larger bust, it’s always been a struggle to find a bathing suit that flatters my body and curves while also providing enough support and coverage. This is especially true for one-piece swimsuits. Most styles are either too revealing or too conservative, leaving me with no middle ground and forcing me to invest in different swimsuits for different occasions. However, the Free-est Amber One-Piece Swimsuit is the first style I’ve ever owned that I feel comfortable and supported enough to wear for any occasion.
This one-piece swimsuit is made from a blend of recycled polyamide and elastane, providing just the right amount of stretch to move around in while still hugging my body and keeping me feeling secure. Its plunging neckline and open-back design are complemented by adjustable shoulder straps and a tie back, allowing me to customize the fit to my liking. The high-leg silhouette adds a touch of sexiness, making it perfect for tanning or any occasion where I want to show a little extra skin. I also love that this Free People piece is made from eco-conscious, recycled fibers, making it a style I can feel good about wearing.
However, it’s worth noting that while the upper coverage of this bathing suit is great, it is a bit skimpier at the bottom and tends to fit more like a thong bathing suit – somewhat unintentionally. I am usually a medium in swimsuits and opted for a similar size with this one-piece. Unlike other Free People swimsuits, like the Free-est Pamela One-Piece Swimsuit ($148) which has a thong-like design, this piece appeared to have a more traditional fit with enough material to provide ample backside coverage. However, despite what the product photos on the model may show, this bathing suit does tend to ride up quite a bit in the crotch area. While it’s not uncomfortable, it does show more skin on the hips than I was expecting. So, if you’re looking for a swimsuit with more coverage, I would recommend trying out another FP Beach style, such as the Free-est Heidi Surf One-Piece Swimsuit ($198).
But overall, this one-piece swimsuit is perfect for anyone looking for a comfortable, secure, and stylish piece that’s also sustainable. Whether you’re an avid tanner, a sports enthusiast, or simply a water-lover, this swimsuit is great for all occasions.
The Free-est Amber One-Piece Swimsuit is exclusively available at Free People. It comes in a variety of fun colorways, including stone, lime green, black, and orchid pink. It is also available in US women’s sizes XS through XL, and I would recommend referencing Free People’s size guide to find your perfect fit. Plus, all of the styles in the collection are made with eco-conscious fibers, promoting circularity in fashion and reducing the brand’s carbon footprint.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the Free-est Amber One-Piece Swimsuit from Free People’s Free-est swimwear line. It’s a comfortable, stylish, and sustainable piece that’s perfect for
