Coral Reef Swimsuit Try On

February 20, 2022

I asked you guys a little while ago for swim brand recs and Coral Reef Swim was one that came up over and over. I looked into it and instantly fell in love with their mission of designing high quality swimwear that fits and flatters every body type. Finding a swimsuit that fits is half the battle, but finding one you actually feel confident in is always the hardest part. Especially since having babies, I haven’t been as confident in my body when wearing a swimsuit, so I’ve been looking high and low to find a brand with styles I like that fit me well. Coral Reef has been one of my go-to’s for this exact reason—I love the variety of bikinis and one pieces they have with good coverage, different length top and bottoms and pieces that can all be mixed and matched. To show the variety of their collection, I asked over on Instagram if there are any ladies willing to try on some of their suits with me so I was so excited to have Hayley volunteer to help! We ordered some swimsuits in each of our sizes and tried them on together in Houston this week to give y’all an idea of how the different styles fit and share our sizing details to help y’all pick the best suit for you!
