Whatever your summer plans look like at the moment – spread out by the pool, pedal the cruiser to the beach, to the nearest water surface, sipping lemon Campari sprites on your balcony / fire escape / roof, book in hand – a good swimsuit (or two) is a must. Below are twenty-five of our favorites, from modern postcards to skimpy bikinis of happy belts.
GEM STATE
Did the seasons of cold weather first technically demand tones of gems? Of course. But does this culture of richly colored one-piece pieces – designed with curved accents and skillful avant-garde belts – prove that the trend holds water year-round? Absolutely.
