Between the comfort and convenience, there's a lot we love about the athleisure movement. And as brands and tastemakers continue to present us with fresh new ways to tackle the look, it's clear that athleisure is no longer just a passing trend — it's here to stay. Just consider the latest take on swimwear. With a focus on support, coverage, and performance, this Spring and Summer's hottest swim top styles are all about function — just like your favorite sports bras. So whether you're getting active or lying by the water, ahead are pieces that are designed to move with you.

Cross-Front Straps Offer Support
We've seen this cool strappy design cropping up more frequently on sportswear, and now it's making the cross over to swimwear (see what we did there?). With the high neck and adjustable straps, wear this cross-front swim top ($45), along with the matching bottoms ($35), for stylish support.

A Traditional Silhouette Provides Coverage
Your favorite sports bra silhouette now comes in a swim version. If you're seeking ample coverage, or perhaps engaging in higher-impact water sports, opt for a cage-front high-neck bikini top ($45) and matching bottoms ($35) for a look that's both functional and feminine.

A U-Neck Shape Gives Support
A classic U-neck shape is always a good go-to when you need something supportive. Function aside, look for fun details, like the splashy print and lattice front on this bikini top ($45). Try wearing it with contrasting bottoms ($35) to stand out.
