I Own Over 70 Bikinis, and These Are the Ones I Love and Wear the Most

Judith Jones  Thu, 06 May 2021  Who What Wear

Swimsuit season is upon us, and today, we're focusing on all the beautiful bikinis worth scooping up for summer. To get more insight on the bikinis worth adding to our carts this season, I tapped Michelle Scanga—former Who What Wear managing editor (current editor at Poosh), a swimwear connoisseur, and the queen of bikinis who owns over a whopping 70 bikinis—and asked her to share her absolute favorite two-pieces she loves and wears the most. With such a large number of bikinis in her drawer, there's no doubt a style has to really earn her approval to gain wear time at the pool, so her picks below are the crème de la crème within her collection. Keep scrolling for her favorites and to shop more we have our eye on this summer.

"I'm a sucker for string bottoms, and with this one, you can adjust the straps to fit higher or lower, which I love. Plus, it's the perfect shade of pink for me."

"This is my go-to when I'm laying out at home because it's super comfortable and the matching top is strapless… so no tan lines!"

"Everyone needs at least one simple white swimsuit. I truly feel like a baby cherub angel when I wear this dainty bikini."

Shop the matching Chloe Bikini Bottoms ($110).

"I also own this scrunchie set in several colors. It's so comfortable and flattering."

"I absolutely love this tankini. It’s great because you don't need a cover-up when you're en route to the pool or beach. Sometimes, I'll even wear it out with jeans or high-rise bottoms."

"I found this printed bikini on Amazon last summer. It was such a steal. I like to sprinkle in a few Amazon suits each season when it comes to trendier styles."

"The top you can wear a million different ways."

Shop the matching Bond Girl Bikini Bottom ($85). 

"I don't wear a ton of high-waisted bottoms, but when I do, I like to wear a set in a solid color like this one."

"The lingerie vibes are everything here. The deep emerald mixed with black lace makes this set so special."
