The warm weather is almost here — time to take stock of your beachwear. If your one-pieces are bleached and saggy and your bikinis are a bust, we’ve rounded up the best one-pieces, bikinis, monokinis, tankinis for the sunny days ahead, so you’ll be stylish in the sand and by the pool.
Hunza G’s Emerald Domino One-Piece
For something classy and maybe a little lucky, get this shamrock green one-piece, made with stretchy, ruched material that flatters every figure. The low back gives it a saucy silhouette, and the textured fabric makes Hunza’s darling one-piece capricious yet understated.
The Emerald green is a vibrant and refreshing option, but the Domino suit comes in several luxe colors, including the sweet Blush, warm Metallic Cocoa, and rustic Metallic Rosewood.
Solid & Striped’s The Anne-Marie Ribbed One Piece
The Anne-Marie Ribbed One-Piece has a similar timeless design but with a modern flair. It’s also a high-tech design, with a built-in shelf to keep the girls perky and in place. The low scoop back helps you avoid unsightly tan lines and makes you look chic.
The all-black Noir/Optic White design with white trim creates a luxurious look. But the Pink Multi Stripe and Noir Optic White Stripe give playful vibes whether you’re splashing in the waves at Coney Island or the Island of Capri.
LSPACE x Anthropologie’s Sunrise Shell Bikini Top
Embrace your inner Ariel with this Shell Bikini Top. The cups are shaped like seashells for that ethereal vibe that will make you feel like a mermaid waiting for her Prince Eric. Pearl accents on the straps and bust give it a whimsical aura, so you’ll look like one of King Triton’s spoiled daughters.
But it comes in a trendy, rich Mauve color that captures the mermaid princess spirit without copying Ariel directly. Pair this top with the matching bottoms for a cohesive look. Don’t forget to toss it in your weekend bag on your way to the Hamptons!
Tropic of C’s The Sculpting C
Feel sculpted and snatched in The Sculpting C one-piece. This suit looks simple, but it works hard to keep you looking fit as hell. Compression fabric cinches your waist and works with big and little busts, offering versatile support.
Super thin spaghetti straps are more like angel hair pasta, giving a barely-there, holding-on-by-a-thread appearance that is terrifically sexy. Look crisp and clean in the White, Black, or Amber color options, or make a statement in the Baby Cheetah.
Matteau Square Maillot One Piece
The Maillot One-Piece has an uncomplicated silhouette that you can wear with no fuss, no muss. It’s wonderful for water sports, swimming, and other activities where you need security.
It’s something we might see Martha Stewart or Gwyneth Paltrow in, giving you that high-end vibe. The fancy Cassis print falls somewhere between botanical and fleur-de-lis. It also comes in a bright Chalk Crinkle option, as well as a dreamy Santorini blue hue.
Marysia Nott Top
Wear something unique this summer with the Marysia Mott Top. It has a halter neckline that creates an open back and covered chest, wonderful for big-busted girlies who don’t want to be popping out of their swimwear. The scalloped edges give it a unique, contemporary flair, so your swimwear collection won’t feel boring or outdated.
We’re loving the Floral Print in Haze dusty blue design, but you can’t go wrong with the relaxed Coconut White or Black options. Marysia has a wide range of scalloped bikini bottoms to pair with it, or you can rock one of the other scalloped bikini tops.
Free People Seea Nico Shorts
If you’re the type to surf the waves, ride the jet skis, and run in the sand, these Seea Nico Boy Shorts are a must-have. They have a retro ‘70s appearance but are made with modern fabrics for total comfort.
They have four-way stretch, quick-drying fabric, and an adjustable waistband. They’re perfectly sporty and come in cute colors like Zolfo gold, Upside purple, and Skate orange.
Dippin’ Daisy’s Lilo One-Piece Swimsuit
This one-piece from Dippin’ Daisy’s is another fabulous option for our sporty beach bums. It’s a nylon blend with a front zipper that makes it effortless to slip in and out of between surfing sessions.
The Hawaiian floral pattern captures the dreamy spirit of the islands, and gives off Lilo & Stitch vibes, so the name is appropriate. However, it also comes in a Chocolate brown option that feels more mature – a fabulous option if you want a chic beach look.
LSpace Hazel Bikini Top
This bikini top from LSpace gives us the same vibe as The Anne-Marie, with a contemporary but understated silhouette and white trim that elevates its appearance.
It has a bralette style that’s ultra-comfy for long beach days and boat trips, with a ribbed fabric that conforms to your body. The top has just a titch of stretch, but plenty of breezy support. Get it in fierce colors and patterns, like Deep Teal & Cream, Sail Along Stripes, and bold Pimento red.
Norma Kamali Slinky Marissa One-Piece
Unleash your inner Marilyn Monroe bombshell vibes with this ruched, scarlet one-piece. The Slinky Marissa swimsuit is strapless with extra high leg openings that show off your hip bones and dat ass. It’s cheeky, but also elegant.
With its sweetheart neckline, it looks like a red carpet gown reimagined as a swimsuit — perfect for turning the boardwalk into your personal runway. Feel like a femme fatale in the Tiger Red color, or keep things more subtle with the dark Black option.
Free People Seea Naya Bikini Top
Another sporty option from Free People is the Seaa Naya Bikini Top, which looks like the most stylish sports bra you’ve ever seen. It has thick straps and a supportive scoop neck that’s fantastic for surfing, sailing, and sunbathing.
The back features a sleek tie design that outshines basic triangle bikinis and brings way more style than your average sports bra. Choose from eight irresistible styles, from the funky Aqua Stripe to chic Navy Stripe and athletic Peri Combo.
Norma Kamali Cut Out String Mio
Norma Kamali brings the heat to a one-piece bathing suit. The Cut Out String Mio suit is a striking style that reinvents the monokini silhouette. It has a textured overlay that creates depth and dimension, with a feminine floral design.
This doesn’t offer the best support, so we recommend it for smaller chests. It comes in Tiger Red, Black, and Cream. Certain options come with a matching, attachable skirt that can take this from the pool to the dinner patio without missing a beat.
Frankies Bikinis x BELLA HADID Springtime Bikini Top
Bella Hadid has decided — tankinis are back. And for those of us who don’t love showing off our belly buttons all the time, but enjoy the dynamic comfort of a two-piece, this is thrilling news. She’s partnered with Frankies Bikinis to create a few fabulous looks, namely the Springtime Bikini Top, which is a handkerchief-style tankini top in a red plaid called Lover’s Lane.
We’re obsessed, even though it’s giving us middle school flashbacks. The cutout at the bust, the triangular silhouette, the lightweight material, it’s truly a unique option for summer 2025.
Shani Shemer Claire Bikini Bottom
The Claire Bikini Bottom from Shani Shemer is tough not to love. It’s one of those suits that makes it easy to feel confident when lying in the sun. If you tend to feel self-conscious in swimsuits, always covering up with a towel or trying to angle yourself to hide your body, this will be your new favorite suit.
It delivers great coverage without veering into grandma territory — so you can feel confident, cool, and yes, hot (seriously). The ruched waistband helps hide any tummy spillage and this bottom comes in fun colors like Candy Pink, Scarlet Red, and Body beige.
Bananhot Laya One Piece
The Bananhot Laya One Piece is an elegant and artsy option for any summer adventure. It comes in Turquoise Paisley — so Euro chic, and a turquoise connector at the sternum creates an upscale look.
With dainty string ties, high legs, and a cheeky bottom, it’s a super sexy option — not ideal if you’re looking for more coverage while swimming and sunbathing.
Agua Bendita x REVOLVE Candelaria Patchy Bikini Top
Our summer crush this year is the Candelaria Patchy Bikini Top. It’s contemporary and cute, with brilliant hues that make it pop while you’re in the surf. The Bohemian Floral pattern features roses, stars, blazing suns, leaves, and intricate details that come together in a gorgeous design.
This bikini has a bra-like fit, with wired cups, thin shoulder straps, and a hook-and-loop closure on the back. It creates a lavish look that will stand out this season.
Free People Abysse Elle One-Piece Surf Suit
Alright, one more sporty piece from Free People. Equal parts sporty and chic, the Elle Surf Suit does it all. The fabric is only two millimeters thick, creating an uber-thin and flexible neoprene silhouette that boogie boards with you.
Its lightweight, breathable design will keep you cool on the spiciest summer days. The front zipper makes it saucy and easy to step out of, and the full-coverage bottom and thick straps are wave-ready.
Free People Free-est Renee Lurex Tie Side Bikini Bottoms
Capture the sparkling shoreline vibes and feel like you’re a part of the beach with the Lurex Tie Side Bikini Bottoms. These bikini bottoms remind us of warm, shimmering sand and sunny days.
It comes in the Dolce De Leite color, a shimmering tan shade that just might match your glow by summer’s end. With wide side ties, it’s bolder than your typical bikini bottom — striking the perfect balance between refined and daring.
Anthropologie Oceanus Arizona One-Piece Swimsuit
This masterpiece of a bathing suit has been taking up space in our heads rent-free. The Oceanus Arizona has a beaded design adorned with colorful fish, crustaceans, and stars that cast a delightful oceanic wonderland right on your body.
With tiny beads, sequins, and glitter, this is truly a show-stopper — or a surf-stopper, if you will. It’s been coming in and out of stock because people want it so badly. So, if you adore it as much as we do, set a reminder and snap it up when it’s available again!
