Right about now, beach pics are probably creeping up on your feed, which can only mean one thing—it’s finally time to think about swimwear. It’s been a long time coming, but swimsuit season has fully commenced and with it a plethora of options to consider. As much as I adore a good one-piece (it’s a classic for a reason), today I’m strictly addressing the bikini fan club. A lot of swim brands exist out there—and even more bikinis— but I’ve narrowed it down to the suits that dazzle above the rest. And whether you’re a minimalist, a more is more kind of person, or a hardcore follower of trends, the below has every type of bikini to hit almost every aesthetic. All that’s left is figuring out your ride to the nearest beach.
