The Only 5 Swimsuits You Ever Need to Pack For Vacation

This is the one-piece with enough pizazz to double as an evening top. Whether it's got poufy sleeves or comes in an eye-catching gingham print, others might not even realize it's your swimsuit when you throw it on with cutoffs, hoop earrings, and espadrilles for dinner.

Striking lace-up details complete the Mara Hoffman Organic Cotton Crochet One-Piece ($275).

A strappy back and a retro print make up the DVF Deep-V One-Piece ($248).

Ruching details and unexpected cutouts all over are certainly eye-catching. The For Love & Lemons Capri Scrunchy One-Piece Swimsuit ($132) has it all.

You do you — whatever type of bikini you're used to should flatter your body type, but most importantly, make you feel comfortable on the beach. Pack your go-to — the one with the bottom that perks up your booty — and never look back.

Shop the Urban Outfitters x Out From Under Bandeau Bikini Top ($42) and Ruched High-Waisted Bikini Bottom ($42) set if you like a retro fit.

The lines on the Topshop Metallic Stripe Bikini Top ($21, originally $35) and Metallic Stripe Bikini Bottoms ($16, originally $26) are classic as can be.

If you love millennial pink, the Forever 21 Plus Bow Bikini Top ($20) and Bikini Bottoms ($12, originally $18) are for you.

Look for a style with lace-up details, added texture, or sleeves. This bikini isn't necessarily for soaking up the rays, but rather for making a statement when you wear it with a sarong or a pair of printed palazzo pants. This design isn't necessarily for a quick dip in the pool, but to make a statement when you're enjoying a cocktail or attending the luau party.

The Mara Hoffman Terry Lace-Up Rashguard ($230) and Side-Tie Bikini Bottom ($115) will take you long into the night — even after the sun's gone down.

The adorable frills that line the Pandora Sykes x Hunza G Tracey Red Frill Bikini ($155) make it the suit of the moment.

Sleeves with ties and ruffles are all the rage, and the Lisa Marie Fernandez Selena Smocked Bikini ($395) checks both those details off the list.

Whether it's a scoop-back one-piece or a high-waisted bikini bottom, you'll want something perfectly neutral (think black, white, or tan) to style a handful of ways. Forgo cutouts or crazy prints when it comes to this look. Instead, add jewelry, an interesting head scarf, or your hat. Allow this suit to act as the foundation.

You'll love the simple row of buttons on the Solid & Striped x Staud Veronica Ribbed One-Piece Swimsuit ($90, originally $168).

The one-shoulder strap on this bow-adorned Marysia Venice Maillot ($350) takes it to a whole different level.

If you prefer a curvy hemline, the Kate Spade New York Scalloped Bandeau Bikini Top ($85) and Scalloped High Waist Bottoms ($65) are for you.

This bikini or one-piece should highlight that glow you're working on. No matter which shade you choose, make sure it's bright and contrasts your skin tone. Chartreuse, Barbie pink, and lemon yellow with a metallic sheen work best.

The Triangl Faye Bikini Set ($89) isn't just neon — it comes in velvet.

Make a splashy statement in the Mara Hoffman Knot Front Cutout One-Piece ($195).

The Kiini Ro Crochet Trimmed Bikini Top ($189) and Ro Crochet Trimmed Bikini Bottoms ($129) have become a fashion-girl classic, but buy them in yellow and your look will take first place.
