The Classic Bandeau One Piece | VITAMIN A
Why Elizabeth loves this:
My favorite swimsuits lately seem to come from Vitamin A. I love this one-piece print worn strapless or with the straps thrown back on. It’s easy, but can be worn dressed up poolside as well!
Styling Tip:
Layer gold jewels for neck and wrists. Don’t forget to pair it with a favorite oversized hat and sunnies.
Zenith Bikini Top + Solstice Bikini Bottom | MERIDIAN SWIMWEAR
Why Whit loves this:
I love a swimsuit that can do double duty and this set from Meridian Swimwear does just the trick! This bikini top offers full coverage if I am hitting the waves, but the low-cut neckline and gathering is chic enough for lounging at the pool.
I like to pair mine with a barely there bikini bottom, but you can mix and match the bottoms to your liking!
One Piece Peak Suit | LEFT ON FRIDAY
Why Whitney loves this:
My favorite swimsuits are ones that feel equal parts polished and effortless and this one from Left On Friday checks all the boxes. I love the pop of color, modern silhouette and little sexy cutout detail it offers while still giving me the coverage and support I need to feel comfortable all day long!
Styling Tip:
Style it with a classic oversized white button down, tortoise sandals and oversized glasses. Depending on your vibe, top it off with a casual baseball hat or funky head scarf.
The Anniston Bikini Top + Teya High Waisted Bottom | SIMKHAI
Why Britt loves this:
This Simkhai suit that was featured at our trunk show is a fun print, but still feels super classic and chic.
Styling Tip:
Pair it with a gauzy white balloon pant and a black leather flip flop to keep it feeling cool and fresh, then layer on some gold necklaces and chunky gold bangles to complete the look.
The La Jolla One Piece | STAUD
Why Brooke loves this:
This chocolate brown one-piece from STAUD is the perfect summer staple. The plunging neckline adds a subtly sexy touch while still feeling effortlessly chic, and the buckle detailing elevates the look even more.
Styling Tip:
Style it with a silver bangle and metallic flip-flops for an easy and stylish beachside look.
The Maai Bikini Set | DIARRABLU
Why Christine loves this:
I’m loving this Maai Bikini Set by Diarrablu, the bright colors scream summer at the pool or beach! It’s perfect for the gal who enjoys the aesthetic of a bikini but also wants a little more moderate coverage.
Styling Tip:
For coverage, add in the Sirene Kimono; it’s a must-have and can also be worn with a tank top and white denim. Finish the look with your beach bag and sunnies for an elevated day in the sun.
Cheryl Triangle Bikini Top + Demi Side Tie Bikini Bottom | EVERYTHING BUT WATER
Why McKenna loves this:
For girlies that struggle with a larger bust and smaller band, adjustable halter tops are your best friend. I love a simple swimsuit in a vibrant color that makes all the statement for you. This cobalt blue is both a trending color for the summer + compliments an extensive range of skin tones!
Styling Tip:
Keep it cool girl coded by pairing it pack to a stark white button for peak contrast. Elevate with a wide brimmed hat or keep it casual with a favorite dad cap.
Lumiere Stones Caftan | OSEREE
Why Candace loves this:
I must admit, I’m the gal who does not spend a lot of time poolside. Because of that I find myself wearing the same swimsuit on repeat and making things feel fresh with a brand new swim cover up! I love finding a new cover up every season that reflects my personal style and captures the essence of summer. I currently love this green beauty that has bell sleeves and a fun little detail at the neckline.
It pairs beautifully with my black, white and brown swimwear! And oh yes, I can wear denim shorts under this too for another little vibe.
The Bayberry Trunk | FAIR HARBOR
Why Ben loves this:
Fair Harbor has been a swim go-to for me because of the comfortable inner lining. Gone are the days of that internal “netting” that leaves you scratchy and chafed.
These suits are quick-dry, stretchy, and come in a range of lengths from 5″-10″. The variety of patterns and colors will appease any guy. My particular favorite is this one for its neutral tone and wavy pattern.
Styling Tip:
I’d pair this back to a short sleeve white linen shirt, brown sunglasses, and brown sandals; good for a poolside party or beach bar!
