You bet we're fully prepared for swim season [1] each year, a time when we're finally enjoying the warmer weather, sipping on our morning coffee, and scrolling through Instagram when it hits us — every celebrity is taking selfies poolside [2] someplace warmer or chicer. Not that we mind seeing other people test out the merchandise from some of our favorite swim labels [3] before we get our hands on the new products. It can be nice to see how some of these fresh trends — from the tankini [4] to the shirred, smocked triangle two-piece — look in real life. Or, we mean, against crystal-clear blue waters somewhere deep in the Caribbean.
The good news is, most of the must-have styles we've spotted so far and have curated here are relatively affordable [5], picked up from brands such as Frankies Bikinis [6], Blackbough Swim, Mikoh, Triangl, and I.Am.Gia. Scroll to see the bikinigrams that are still worth shopping before summer's end, and make a purchase if you find a gap in your swim collection that simply must be filled.
