Summer Swimwear Selections

I love shopping for swimwear for a couple of reasons. One is that you can never have enough, and another is that you can pack tons of them in one vacation carry-on and always wear something new. You can layer them under tank tops to add color and pizazz and switch up your look a little. String bikinis look awesome underneath racerback tops and sundresses, while halter suits can look great underneath coordinating halter tops paired with shades.

My top selections are bright, cool, and fun, which can be great for beach browsing, for boardwalk shopping, and for frolicking in the waves. Check out what I have chosen for top swimwear pieces of the season, and let me know what you think!

(YumDrop Preppy Striped Bikini)
This softly striped bikini is a perfect preppy piece. I love YumDrop because the pieces are super feminine, soft, and fun, which means that they'll look amazing with shorter ruffled skirts in chiffon or silk. Imagine how comfortable this skirt will be post-swim, and how easy it will be to stow away in your beach sack.

(BCBG Maxazria Blue Paisley Ruffle Halter Top)
This is quite the sophisticated halter, and I can imagine it with jeans and clogs, '70s style. These ruffles, when paired with such a sophisticated color palette, don't seem as full-blown cutesy. Instead, it seems like the added ruffles are just a fantastic design detail addition.

(Solid Bandeau Monokini)
A monokini in blue is stunning without patterns and excess design. Let your skin peeking through do all the talking! What I especially love about this piece is the fact that you can slip a pair of shorty shorts over the one-piece and still feature a complicated silhouette that peeks out from underneath.

(Multi Polka Dot Bikini)
The bottoms on these briefs are so cool. I love how they stretch down over your hips a little (they remind me of my yoga pants) and have a slightly more modest vibe. These awesome halter top cups have impressive uplift and will make you look very voluptuous, very sexy, and very curvaceous. Pink peppermint ice cream, anyone?

(Old Navy Women's Halter Top in Blue Kaleidoscope) This top combines color and pattern in a burst of cool design. You'll be pleased at how affordable it is (just $9.99), so I recommend you spend a little down time stocking up on a couple if you can. You can also choose between string or bikini briefs to coordinate. The plunging neckline is totally come-hither and is available up to XXL.
