Swimsuit season is no longer just approaching, it is officially here. With the Summer Solstice on June 21st and July 4th just a couple of weeks away, we are nearly in the thick of weekend pool parties and boardwalk getaways (if we’re lucky…). There’s no need to panic, though. Bathing suits are not the devil or to be feared. Take a look at some of our favorite swimsuits for everybody and every body type out there, because you know what : Everybody has a bikini body! It’s time to show off!

Behind the Scenes Babe
Robin Piccone One Piece Swimsuit | Bloomingdales $123
Cut-out swimsuits are everywhere these days, with countless sneak-peak options on the racks. The one-piece above is a slightly unique variation on that style (not your average oblique-baring getup). This suit works for when you are looking to leave a little extra something to the imagination. It gives coverage while also sneaking in a hint of sexy, behind-the-scenes skin, as well.
Show-Off
BECCA by Rebbeca Virtue Triangle Bikini Top & Boy Short | Bloomingdale’s $40-44 ea.
Let’s just say this piece is for those of us looking to really show off what we worked for! If you’re looking to flaunt what your mama gave you, there’s no better way to do it than with this classically black-and-white, cut-out bikini. The accentuating top and boy shorts bottom is totally a winning duo in our book.
Tummy Savvy
Gottex Beach Goddess Bandeau One Piece Swimsuit | Bloomingdales $148
Hoping for eyes to skim over your midsection? Crisscross detailing, like the one shown above, may be your best friend. The inward pattern makes the tummy appear slimmer and the bandeau top makes the chest appear fuller. Fine by us!
For the Patriot
Ralph Lauren Blue Label American String Bikini | Bloomingdales $38+
This is for those of us looking to get f-e-s-t-i-v-e. If you’re feeling confident enough, we strongly encourage you to slip into this all-American number when July 4th rolls around. Think of it as exercise motivation and a display of national pride, all rolled into one! It’s really a packaged deal.
Utilitarian Athlete
Gottex Creole Square Neck One Piece Swimsuit | Bloomingdales $198
It’s no Speedo, but this square-neck one-piece is sure to keep you covered while swimming those mid-morning laps in the pool. Even better is its totally unique patterning. We approve.
