The 1 Bikini Style That Will Turn You Into an Extraordinary Beach Babe This Season
These days, bikinis with sleeves — whether frilly little bow ties or three-quarter length — are just as ordinary as swimsuits with cutouts. If you've got coverage up top, there's no reason not to bare a little skin at your midriff. We found a handful of unique styles that will earn you compliments at the beach or the pool. You can opt for something statement-making and luxe, like the picks from Caroline Constas (one of which has floral, voluminous sleeves) or something more simple, like the designs from ModCloth and Solid + Striped. These are the mix-and-match style separates you can easily pull off with bottoms you already own. Read on to get in on the trend this season.
