Indya Brown  Mon, 23 May 2022  Who What Wear

Right about now, beach pics are probably creeping up on your feed, which can only mean one thing—it's finally time to think about swimwear. It's been a long time coming, but swimsuit season has fully commenced, and with it are a plethora of options to consider. As much as I adore a good one-piece (it's a classic for a reason), today, I'm strictly addressing the bikini fan club. A lot of swim brands exist out there, but I've narrowed it down to the suits that dazzle above the rest. And whether you're a minimalist, a "more is more" kind of person, or a hard-core follower of trends, the selection below has every type of bikini to hit almost every aesthetic. All that's left is figuring out your ride to the nearest beach. 

The matching scarf is mandatory in my book. Shop the matching Bikini Bottoms ($13).

As much as I love a designer bikini, I'd rather use that $500 for a plane ticket somewhere tropical. This Mango logo suit is equally fun and trendy. Shop the matching Tie Bikini Bottom ($25).

Please don't sleep on Urban Outfitters' swim selection. Shop the matching Tie Bikini Bottom ($25).

I'm immediately adding this to my cart. It's so good. Shop the matching The Brennan High Waist Bottoms ($90). 

Somehow, Frankies Bikinis always finds a way to do something innovative and cool. Shop the matching Tia Terry Bikini Bottoms ($95).

If you're working with a bigger budget, I can't endorse Isa Boulder's bikinis enough. Shop the matching Reversible Bikini Bottoms ($129).

Officially Rihanna approved.

Not only is this suit extremely versatile, but the extensive size range is also pretty awesome. Shop the matching 10 Ways To Wear Bikini Bottoms ($59).

Where's my spritzer?!

This beautiful sparkly shade would especially pop against deeper skin tones. Shop the matching Byron Bikini Bottoms ($62). 

I'm all for the metallic bikini.

The classic string bikini gets an update thanks to pretty color-blocking. Shop the matching Tessa Bikini Bottoms ($92).

A new swim brand to add to your list. Shop the matching Amore Bottoms ($79).

As my fellow editors have noted, the retro-swimwear trend is back in full swing. Shop the matching Nora Bikini Bottoms ($90).

You can't go wrong with lilac. Shop the matching Tonie Bikini Bottoms ($78).

This would look amazing styled with sheer, flowy pants. Shop the matching Nala Bikini Bottoms ($90). 

An editor secret: Triangl is a solid go-to for affordable, trend-forward bikinis.

If sustainability is your main focus, you'll want to give Jade Swim a shot. Shop the matching Ties Bikini Bottoms ($90).

Truly striking.

Pinstripes are definitely unexpected on a bikini, but consider me pleasantly surprised. Shop the matching Buttercup Bikini Top ($59). 

It's my mission to add an Attico bikini to my collection this season. They're just so playful and well made.

A groovy print for your Italian coastal vacation. Shop the matching Curral Bikini Bottoms ($120).

Y2K me, please. Shop the matching Julie Tanga Cheeky Bikini Bottoms ($98).
