25 bikinis that are perfect for small boobs

We love the simple triangle shape and contrast white piping on this H&M bikini top. It has adjustable straps and a drawstring back you can tighten to create a little (or a lotta) cleavage.

This bandeau style from brand-to-know Away That Day is itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny, so great for smaller boobs. The ring-embellished bandeau design comes with a detachable halterneck strap that you add for a touch more support – ideal when you're swimming in the ocean/ dancing at the beach club this summer.

Maiyo, the London based brand started by Persian fashion grad Roxanne Namaki- Lakani, is our new swimwear obsession.

This crochet baby, with its diamanté ring details and ruffled straps, is super flattering on a both bigger and smaller chests.

Kim K's brand SKIMS drops killer swimwear every summer, but this season's collection might just be our favourite yet. A cool take on the upside-down bikini trend, this neon number has long sleeves and an adjustable tie so you can control the cleavage. The best part? You can mix and match your bottoms: choose from this ruched mini skirt, a sexy sarong, and three different kinds of classic briefs.

Ruffled detailing will create the illusion of a bigger bust - if that's what you're going for, ofc; we think every bod is beautiful just as it is.

Crochet is the hottest trend of 2023 – and at Cosmo we are obsessed with all things knit. So, if you're already rocking crochet tops and knitted dresses, why not get the bikini to match? This Weekday number would look just as good by the pool as it would with denim shorts at a day festival.

You don't have to spend hundreds to nail the glittery bikini trend swimwear brand Oséree is so well known for – this shimmery River Island number is a fraction of the price.

If you've been lusting after Marysia's spenny designer swimwear recently, this scalloped bikini from Accessorize is a great lookalike. With underwired cups and thicker halter neck straps, it's more supportive than bandeau styles, so is ideal for pushing up smaller boobs.
