We’ve all been there. You’ve been invited to a pool party or you’re about to go on a well-deserved vacation and you realize you need a new bathing suit. So, you run to the nearest department store only to find that they don’t have your size or the options are not your style. Hopefully, this list of bathing suits helps you avoid the rushing fiasco, find the perfect style for you, and gives you some ideas for a print that you’d be excited to step out in on your tropical vacay.
If you want a bathing suit that’s cute, relaxed, and a little more modest go with a high waisted cut. This cut is also super flattering for any body type. This bathing suit is also a sportier cut that is perfect for swimming, wakeboarding, and any other beach activities you have for your jam-packed beach day. Put on this style of bathing suit, and everyone around you will know you are prepared to have some fun in the sun!

Another style that also has more coverage but is still flattering is the one-piece crochet bathing suit. I think a halter top one-piece is always one of the most flattering bathing suit cuts. It gives everyone a great shape, and with the added stylization of the crochet cut-outs, your beach body will look even more fabulous. This style is perfect for relaxing in the shade out on a lounger and would give all of your Instagram followers complete vacation envy when you post your pictures.

For a bathing suit cut that is perfect for the hardcore athlete, beach volleyball player, or the athleisure aficionado, look no further than a sporty two-piece bathing suit. This style will definitely show off the beach body you’ve worked hard to sculpt. This suit will look excellent in many colors and you will confidently be able to put “beach body goals” on all of your Instagram pictures no matter the bathing suit’s hue or size.

For a classic look always you can always turn to a bikini. It’ll be an even more classic look if that bikini is black. There’s just something about rocking a black bathing suit. Maybe it’s because black goes with everything so they’ll match any overthrow, or maybe it’s because black is slimming and looks great on everyone. No matter the reason, you’ll see numerous black bathing suits being worn in the summer, so jump on the bandwagon because you’ll look fabulous. Whether it’s a glamorous vacation or a backyard pool party, a black bikini should always be a go-to bathing suit choice.

There are numerous options, whether the style has cutouts down the side or a key-hole cutout in the front. This type of bathing suit should definitely be an option in your bathing suit arsenal.

For a bright color that will scream “summertime” go with a pastel bathing suit. Pack numerous pastel bathing suits, one in every shade, for your tropical vacation and you’ll get a new flood of compliments every day. Just kidding, but a bathing suit in a pastel shade is almost a necessity for a sunny beach day. With many colors to choose from when it comes to this look, there is sure to be a color and style for everyone.

Another amazing bathing suit color is white. When I see a white bathing suit I immediately think of sea foamy waves, pure sand, and straw hats. White is a shade that reminds most people of summer, but to add to the pristine summer aesthetic, go with a halter top style for your bathing suit. It’s a flattering top that complements many body types, making you look like the true queen of the sand that you are. Like a black bathing suit, it also goes with just about everything so you could pair it with any hat or beach cover-up.

When it comes to floral print, it’s everywhere in the summer. You’re always able to find it on everything. T-Shirts, jackets, shorts; literally anything. Of course, the obvious reason is that summer means tons of flowers all around but it’s also a great pop of color for bathing suits. It’s such a bright happy print that will totally go with your relaxing festive beach day.

For a combined vintage and summery vibe, try a gingham bathing suit for your next beach day. This pattern is so nostalgic; it’s definitely in everyone’s summer memories from childhood in one way or another. From your favorite old shirt to the table cloth your parents would put down when you wen ton your summer camping trips. It’s a style that has stood the test of time and for good reason. So, if you really want a classic, vintage summer vibe I would go with gingham print.

Along with Gingham and florals, really any bright and busy pattern is perfect for summer and would look great in a one-piece bathing suit. One-piece bathing suits are usually more comfortable than a two-piece bathing suit and they look great on everyone. With varying and versatile styles there are honestly millions you could try on if you ever had that much time. You are sure to find a patterned one-piece bathing suit that fits you and your personality.
