The Swimsuit I Loved So Much I Bought It Twice

Some swimsuits you wear once and forget about. And then there’s this one.

I first wore the J.Crew Scrunchie One-Piece (in stripes) on Nantucket last summer, and it was one of those rare finds that looked and felt exactly right from the moment I put it on — salt air, cobblestone streets, long afternoons on the water and all. I wore it almost every single day we were there. So when I spotted it on sale this spring in solid white, I didn’t even hesitate. I bought it again.

If that’s not a swimsuit review, I don’t know what is.

And the even better news? It’s on sale right now, and the sale ends April 4th. So if you’ve been eyeing anything from J.Crew’s swim collection, this is your sign. I’m breaking down exactly what I got, why I love it, and a few other pieces worth snagging while prices are low.

A few things I love about it:

moderate coverage
medium support
Removable pads offer light bust support, and I found it surprisingly solid for a 34G
The scrunchie texture is so forgiving — it moves with you and hides everything you want it to
High cut leg and mid rise back

Sizing notes: I’m wearing a 4 and felt it was perfect for me. For reference, I’m 5’5″.
