When you think of Fabletics, you might associate the brand with gymwear staples like workout leggings, bike shorts, and supportive sports bras — of which the label has no shortage. But there's more to Fabletics than meets the eye, as evidenced by the brand's latest spring collection. It features an array of functional, figure-hugging pieces that are designed to upgrade your spring wardrobe with a sporty flair.
In collaboration with Khloe Kardashian, the brand's spring capsule pays homage to everything we love about the season (think bright colors, cute swimwear, and comfy everyday pieces), but through the lens of Fabletics's signature athleisure aesthetic. The styles are made to fit a wide variety of body types, with a size spectrum that ranges from XXS-4XL. Despite its diverse product selection, the compression swimwear stands out as the real star of the line, as it's made from a recycled polyester fabric that hugs curves and keeps everything feeling secure — so you can comfortably swim or skip along the beach in style.
In celebration of the new season, we tasked three editors with trying out Fabletics's one-piece performance swimsuit. From the variety of colors and unique zippered design to the style's stretchy, spandex composition, our editors share their honest reviews of the Fabletics swimwear collection ahead. To learn more about the creation of the line, check out our exclusive interview with Khloe Kardashian.

Fabletics Admiral Blue High Tide Zip-Front One-Piece Swimsuit
Fabletics High Tide Zip-Front One-Piece Swimsuit ($85)
"This Fabletics one-piece is definitely one of the most supportive pieces of swimwear I've ever tried. It has a built-in bra that delivers a lift and offers support, especially for my DD breasts. The compression on the midsection is figure-flattering and helps me keep my core engaged. But, it's also something I probably wouldn't wear when I'm treating myself to boardwalk food. This is something I would wear when I am trying to be active, whether it's a day of water sports like jet skiing or playing some beach volleyball. It merges the best parts of supportive athleticwear with a stylish silhouette. Sporting this makes me feel like a Baywatch cast member." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Commerce

Fabletics Neon Flamingo High Tide Zip-Front One-Piece Swimsuit
Fabletics High Tide Zip-Front One-Piece Swimsuit ($85)
"I have a tiny waist, mid-size bust, and big hips — which means that swimsuit-shopping is rarely enjoyable for me. The styles are either flattering with zero support, stylish with zero practicality, or too skimpy to offer ample coverage in places where I need it most. This Fabletics swimsuit has rather miraculously managed to defy my expectations with its compressive design. It not only creates a universally flattering fit, but also hugs the body so that my boobs and butt feel secure at all times.
Whether I'm lounging poolside at my apartment or playing a competitive game of beach volleyball, I don't have to worry about awkward slippage. The one-piece swimsuit's zippered design allows me to readjust its fit and coverage as needed, so I don't feel as constricted compared to other high-neck swimsuits. And its bright pink hue adds a fun splash of color to my swimwear drawer that feels so on trend for the season. What's not to love?" — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

Fabletics Black High Tide Zip-Front One-Piece Swimsuit
Fabletics High Tide Zip-Front One-Piece Swimsuit ($85)
"As a former competitive swimmer, I understand the struggle to find stylish performance swimwear. However, this piece proves that sleekness and functionality can go hand-in-hand. I appreciate its compressive fabric, built-in SPF protection, and the eco-friendly touch of being made from recycled materials." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce
