Red swimsuits are a swimwear staple that will never go out of style. Need proof? With the release of Disney+ series ‘Pam + Tommy’ – starring Lily James as Pamela Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee – the beginning of the month, searches for the best red swimsuits have skyrocketed. Yep, despite a lot of talk surrounding the controversial show, one thing that seems to have got people’s attention more than anything else is the iconic red swimsuit famously worn by the Baywatch star and recreated by Lily in a recent episode.
When the high-leg, low-cut, fire-engine-red Baywatch swimsuit first debuted 33 years ago as the uniform worn by female lifeguards including Pamela’s character, it made quite the statement. And with global Google searches for red swimsuits on the up, there’s no denying the swimsuit style is just as popular today.
So, whether you’re heading off on a weekend break for some winter sun or you’re simply bikini and one-piece swimsuit shopping ahead summer, GLAMOUR editors have handpicked the best red swimsuits available now. And there are quite a few to choose from.
Not sure a red one-piece is for you? Red is actually the most universally flattering colour of them all, suiting all skin tones and undertones. A red swimsuit is also a classic and timeless style, so you don’t need to worry about it being out of fashion by the time you finally make it to a beach. And when it comes to swimwear design, you’re not limited to Baywatch styles only.
If you’re intending to do some serious swimming opt for a more athletic swimsuit from a sports brand, like this Nike red one-piece. For those whose priority is purely fashion, the cute ruffle straps and flattering V-neck on this Boden number have us immediately sold. Or, if your go-to is usually a red bikini, try a cut-out swimsuit to ease you into the trend like this bodice cut-out red one-piece from Revolve or Melissa Odabash’s plunge halter neck red swimsuit. So. Good.
After more swimwear content? We’ve also got bikinis for big boobs and long sleeved swimsuits for your perusal. Top the look off with some summer sandals, a beach bag and a pair of these sunglasses and you’ll be good to go. Now, where’s that Pina Colada?
