The one-shoulder design, a-symmetrical ruching and subtle gauze cutouts take the basic black one piece to new heights. And the flower covered swim cap is just plain fun.

Look a little bit retro in this throwback two piece that still sports a modern shape. The bra-styled (and sized) top offers more support and coverage than one typically finds in a bikini.
Panache “Anya Stipe” bandeau bikini top and fold over bottoms, $64 and $36, available at BareNecessities.com. Lafont Paris “People” sunglasses, $415, VizioOptic.com.

Delicate, yet sporty, the unexpected mesh cutouts on this classic white suit made it one of our favorites.

Made with sturdy wetsuit material, the high neckline and zipper details of this suit make it a standout.

Especially designed for those with long torsos, the eye catching stripes on this one piece angle in all the right ways.
Long Tall Sally chevron strip swimsuit, $75, available at US.LongTallSally.com.

Panache “Anya” underwired balconnet bikini top and classic bikini brief, $59 and $36, available at BareNecessities.com. Basket weave and flower rubber swim cap, $12 available at Everything But Water.
