We'll let you in on a little secret — there are a lot of cute swimsuits at J.Crew. Yes, the brand known for its classic coats, basic staples, and luxurious yet affordable cashmere also makes a quality collection of swimsuits. We like them because they're actually practical; as much as we love all the sexy cutouts and strappy silhouettes, we find that those pieces may be best suited for the lounge chair. When we want to get in the ocean, we want something that can hold us in, and hold up under pressure. If they also happen to be cute, so much the better.
These are the 11 J.Crew swimsuits we'd snag for the summer. From classic string bikinis to useful rash guards and floral one-pieces, these are the suits you'll want to have this season. Keep reading to shop our selects!
You can't go wrong with a well-fitting one-piece. This J.Crew Ruched One-shoulder One-piece ($118) comes in a bunch of colors, from classic black to vibrant green.
There's a reason why people love string bikinis; they're flattering and classic. We like the bright orange hue of this J.Crew String Bikini Top ($54, originally $75) and String Hipster Full Coverage Bikini Bottom ($40), but it comes in lots of other colors too.
Want a swimsuit you can move around in, but still looks great? You need this J.Crew Active Cropped Rash Guard ($45, originally $75) and Active Swim Bike Shorts ($40, originally $80). We're obsessed with the baby blue hue.
This J.Crew Active Short-sleeve Zip-up One-piece ($98) will have you channeling your inner surfer, even if the closest you get to the ocean is staring at it from the beach chair. It's got a full coverage back with a high rise leg.
If you're going to be active in the water, having a rash guard is useful. This J.Crew Active Colorblock Full-zip Rash Guard ($85, originally $110) is also cute as can be, which is a double win.
Want a bikini that feels both sexy and functional, like you look great on the beach but could grab your surfboard at any moment? You need this J.Crew Active Curved-waist Cheeky Bikini Bottom ($35, originally $55) and Active Button-up Rash Guard ($60, originally $90) in your life.
When we think of summer, we think of seersucker. This J.Crew Squareneck Bikini Top ($45, originally $80) and Tie High-rise Bikini Bottom ($40, originally $60) is going to be our seasonal go to.
Swimsuits with belts or tie waists are coming back because they offer a really flattering shape. We love the print on this J.Crew Topstitched Tie-waist One-piece ($80, originally $118).
Get yourself this pretty J.Crew Ruched Bandeau One-piece ($90, originally $128) and thank us later. It looks great paired with white pants or shorts.
Cutouts are having a moment, as seen on this J.Crew Knot-front One-piece ($118). It also comes with removable shoulder straps.
This J.Crew Tie-shoulder Ruched Top ($60, originally $88) and String Hipster Full-coverage Ruffle Bottom ($50, originally $70) is made with Liberty fabric, and we're loving the print. The ruffle on the bottoms is also a fun touch. Plus, we love a full coverage string bottom.
