It may be cold and snowy in many places, but don't worry, friends, spring and summer will get here soon enough. And though it's not time to safely hit the pool or the beach just yet, it just gives us all more reason to daydream about our summer looks and the cute bathing suits we'll be able to rock. But we wanted to help with those daydreams by finding real-life suits that'll look amazing by the water or on the sand this sunny season.
There are tons of styles that are popular, from floral looks to ruffled straps to sexy one-pieces or V-neck two pieces. The best part is that we found the cutest ones we could that are perfect for all kinds of bodies and styles out there. Got a body? Great, then these suits will help the months move a little faster. It can't hurt to prepare in advance, especially when a bathing suit is involved. We support it. Take a look at some finds we have below.
Sun Soaked Stunner One-Piece
If floral is the desired swim style, then there's lots of that in the suit world right now. Floral is popular everywhere, and fashion is part of that. This yellow floral one-piece with a halter top makes us super happy.
Get It Right Black Halter One Piece
Another flattering halter, this Lulus one-piece deep, deep V halter takes the look to a sexy level. It's the perfect black go-to bathing suit that meets both sexy and "covered" looks at the same time. It could honestly be a top, too, in our opinion.
Red Gingham Smocked Bikini
We're always here for a good pattern, and one can't go wrong with gingham. This two-piece red smocked gingham suit has high waisted bottoms and a straight-across style top with two thin straps. Great for laying by the pool or lounging before a picnic.
Aerie Ruffle Bandeau Bikini Top
When we said flowers were on trend, we meant it! This pink, floral bikini top is just adorable in a womanly way. It features white daisies all over the bust part of the top and has ruffled straps for a textured touch.
Aerie Ruffle Scoop Bikini Top
We love this AE top as it's a great green striped pattern, but it's also one of those sexy but feminine pieces. It has subtle ruffles on the straps and a supportive underwire while still looking flirty.
Kyslee Cutout One-Piece
One-pieces with cutouts were popular last season and they'll surely be popular again this season. Here we have a floral pattern, again — yay! — but with citrus orange and yellow tones, a high waisted bottom-style and a lower cut subtle V neckline.
Cielo Underwire Bikini Top
$110
from
Frankie's Bikinis
For a super sexy and not-too-much-coverage style top, we recommend this checkered and light baby pink top from Frankie's Bikinis. It has an underwire for support, which means the straps are there almost mostly for show.
Bahamas One-Piece
$169
from
Monday Swimwear
Sexy and simple, but not too showy. We love all three traits, especially when put together to describe a swimsuit like this one piece from Monday Swimwear. It has thin straps and a scoop neckline for a classic look.
The Ruffle Backflip
$125
from
Summersalt
Where are all of the V-neckline lovers? They will love this deep V-neck style one-piece that's sexy, but offset by the sweet ruffle sleeves. The red and white pattern is also not too loud but super chic.
The Oasis Bikini Top
$50
from
Summersalt
For a sportier swimsuit look, we are loving this fused Oasis bikini (the top featured here) from Summersalt Swimwear. It's simple but has a pretty blue color that contrasts with the white straps and adds some flair.
Black Cut-Out Mesh Underwire One Piece
$30
from
Meet Curve
Forget the little black dress. We are loving this swimsuit as the perfect choice for a go-to all-black bathing suit. It's a one-piece that features a low-cut neckline and a peek-a-boo mesh panel in the midsection.
New Look Curve Belted Swimsuit
It's hard not to love polka dots. We sure do and this swimsuit has both black and white polka dots in contrasting sections. It's black polka dots on white on top and black polka dots on white on the bottom, separated by a belt.
Bathing Beauty One-Piece Swimsuit
Really love polka dots? This vintage-inspired bathing suit might hit the mark. This red and white polka dot one piece has bigger dots and skirt-style bottoms. The a classic sweetheart-neckline brings those pinup queen vibes.
Wireless Triangle Bikini Top
We love a cute triangle top and this is it! One of the best parts is that it doesn't have wire that will irritate or cut into us. The colors are bright and fun, combining neutrals (black) with neons (like pink and yellow).
Ribbed Leopard Bralette Bikini Top
Animal print is back, and this white with leopard spots on top suit (top shown here) is a fun alternative to a more traditional bathing suit pattern. It also has that square neck style but has enough coverage, too.
Ribbed Tie-Dye Square Neck Bralette Bikini Top
Tie-dye was huge in 2020, especially for loungewear. But how about on swimsuits? That's the look for summer 2021, and we love it. This is sporty style with fun rainbow colors that looks just right for lounging or playing on the beach.
Scoop Neck Soft-Cup Gingham One Piece
$60
from
Land's End
For another vintage look that also has good amount of coverage, we recommend this one-piece from Land's End. It has a floral pattern on the top (we did say it was on trend) and a beautiful blue and white gingham pattern on the bottoms.
Floral Swim Dress
If nap dresses are a thing, then swim dresses can be, too. We love the floral look on a more sexy color like black like this thin-strapped swimsuit. The multicolored bright flowers really pop on the black background.
Ashley Graham Executive Underwire Bikini Set
$100
from
Swimsuits for All
Ashley Graham has a swimwear brand for all shapes and sizes and guess what? She must love polka dots, too. This two-piece black and white polka dot suit is simple but sexy. It's high waisted but also has a top that's scoop-necked.
Ashley Graham Boss Underwire One Piece
$102
from
Swimsuit for All
Who said one pieces can't be sexy? This strappy black Ashley Graham one-piece is just what the doctor ordered. It has bust-enhancing straps, but also has corset-style crisscross lacing down the sides for extra sexiness.
