Fall looks might be filling the stores, but we’re here to tell you summer’s not over yet. There’s still plenty of time to get those buns out in the sun and have a little fun with your friends on those hot days and even hotter nights.

But of course you need the right swimwear to celebrate the rest of the summer, and for folks outside the binary, or whose aesthetics skew that way, have no fear: There’s a gender-neutral bathing suit that’s going to look amazing on your summer bod.

From chic basics that let you shine to more functional garments that ensure you present yourself exactly how you want to be and in a way that’s the most authentic to you, here are nine swimwear options you need to know about.

Humankind was created by L.A. native Haily Marzullo, a queer woman, driven by a passion to make inclusive swimwear for every body type. Their swim top is minimal and comes in a wide variety of colors, so it pairs perfectly with their various swim trunks.

Chromat is both super queer and super earth-friendly; all their bathing suits are made from “regenerated nylon spun from fishing nets and post-consumer plastic bottles that have been recovered from the world’s oceans” and they are gorgeous, too. The Serena Suit is a one piece thong with a rounded crotch gusset, designed for those who choose not to tuck.

You’re one of a kind, so why wouldn’t you want a suit that was created custom, just for you? Origami Customs specializes in making gender-affirming swimwear that fits your body perfectly. For those looking to get a little cheeky, their Swim Thong is perfect for showing off those assets. And can be paired with any of their tops including their various binders.

Hirsuit’s Reverse Pieces swimwear can be bought as separates or together as a single suit, making them ideal for all gender presentations. It’s reversible and turns from a black suit on one side to blue on the other, perfect for mixing and matching. It was inspired by the swimwear of the early 20th century.

Created specifically for people on the full spectrum of gender, size, and ability, Rebirth Garments and bright colored and oh-so-cool. Their Custom Spandex Tucking Panties and Short Chaps & Thong duo both make for eye-catching, gender-affirming swimwear

TomboyX has long been beloved by queer folks for their super comfy gender-neutral undergarments, and every bit of the ethos has gone into their swimwear as well. Take their Racerback Zip Top, which is inspired by activewear and includes mesh-lined panels in the front to provide support and pockets for removable foam cups. Pair them with their Swim Shorts or Swim Board Shorts to complete the suit.

Beefcake specializes in androgynous swimsuits inspired by 1920s style and they are so cute. To really lean into the full roaring ‘20s fantasy, the Dreamboat suit strikes that perfect note of nautical nostalgia.

Is your poolside vibe all about board shorts? Then look no further than Outplay’s Cerro Board Shorts. They’re made from sustainable materials, are UV protecting, feature deep side pockets, and, honestly, are just so Y2K cute. 

Created by a nonbinary designer, Gender Bender is all about creating sustainable and locally sourced garments for the trans community, which includes swimwear that feels as good as looks. Their Reversible Pride Swim Short for Soft Tucking is handmade and features spandex compression knit and was designed specifically for those who struggle with inguinal tucking. Pair the sorts with their Ruffle Swim Top to complete the look.
