When you think of the best long-sleeve swimsuits, your mind probably pivots to a utilitarian rash guard. Like—rash guard? How unsexy of a name can we get? These traditionally basic pieces were devised to keep you safe from water-sport scrapes and the sun, but these days you’ll find that the long-sleeve bathing-suit category has far expanded, with swimsuit brands designing sleek, gorgeous one-piece suits and crop tops that offer all of that protection, full coverage, and modesty in far prettier, sportier packaging.
Glamour editors and readers put swimsuits to the test to find and curate the best long-sleeve swimwear for all sorts of needs (be it a supportive suit with tummy control that can withstand a surf; a suit with UPF that ensures you don’t burn to a crisp poolside when SPF alone isn’t enough; or a flattering rash guard you can pair with high-waist bikini bottoms). Many of them are cute enough to double as cover-ups or transition from the beach to the bar, no questions asked. Take a look at our favorites below—including a swimsuit that miraculously has pockets!
