Summer Swim Edition

In a game of would you rather, I’m guessing most of you are like us and if shopping for swimwear were up against literally anything - you’d likely choose the latter. There’s no doubt about it, shopping for the perfect swimsuit is tough. One piece or two? Cheeky or full coverage? What about the sizing and the fabric and the etc etc etc. You get the picture - it’s annoying. That’s why we’re here to break down our favorite swim styles of the season and to give you more insight into how they fit. 

Full Coverage

Looking for something that offers more coverage without feeling frumpy? The Vacances Stripe Maxime Top + Dylan Bottom by Faithful offers a nice high-waisted, retro full coverage fit that’s really flattering. We love the textured fabric and how supportive the balconette bikini top is.

Touchable Textures

Texture isn’t just a cute detail, it’s a flattering feature that helps you feel less exposed when getting some sun. We love the lace-like texture of the White Textured Bea One Piece, and since it’s fully lined, there’s no chance of showing too much once it gets wet. The underwire boning helps keep everything in place while the higher leg cut creates an elongated look for your stems. Want to let a little more hang out? The Black Rib Manon One Piece is an instant classic you can wear year after year. It’s somewhere between full coverage and cheeky but the ribbing helps keep things subtle. 

Get Cheeky

While some might feel like a cheeky cut is going too far, letting a little tushy show can actually have a more flattering effect than you think. The Mengual One Piece from Paloma Wool has a high leg and barely there bottom making coverage pretty minimal, but in the best way possible. We also love the adjustable sides making it easy to get just the right fit. 

Another great cheeky option is the Palm Vision One Piece by Belle the Label. There’s just so much to love about this best-selling, can’t-keep-it-in-stock suit. Belle the Label has truly mastered the art of making women feel sexy, confident, and comfortable in their pieces - and the Vision One Piece is no exception. It’s cheeky, it’s fun, it’s super feminine, it’s a no brainer.

Flatteringly Femme 

Ruching is another detail that works for just about any body type as it perfectly accentuates the female form. The Periwinkle Ruched Maillot is a great option since it features crossbody ruching and a simple straight neckline. Oh, and this periwinkle really knows how to help your tan pop.  A bikini top that’s supportive AND cute isn’t always easy to find, but here it is. With a comfortable underwire, thicker straps, and ruching across each cup, the Shiny Sage Oracle Top works for women with varying cup sizes.
