After years of research, we're pleased to report that we've perfected the art of the swimsuit outfit. These ensembles are all about comfort and versatility, and they're meant to take you
from the beach to the waterfront bar without skipping a beat.
While layers and accessories are an important part of these looks, the bathing suits themselves are the bread and butter. Thanks to innovative advances in swimsuit design, one-pieces and bikinis now function as bodysuits, crop tops, and layering pieces. This also explains the higher price tags. (A high-quality swimsuit can run you $200 or more nowadays.)
Whether you're heading to the ocean, pool, or dinner after a long day of sunbathing, the nine looks below are infallible. Shop our favorite swimsuit outfits for summer 2021.
