When was the last time you took stock of your swim drawer? If your answer involves any amount of head-scratching or mental math, odds are you’re due for a refresh. In a sea of options, it’s all too easy to get overwhelmed—so we rounded up this season’s swimwear offerings and teased out the five biggest trends to help narrow your search.
CREATIVE CUTOUTS
A side-baring circle, small half-moons, negative space carved out by crisscrossing straps—there’s something sexy about a selectively revealing suit. Add a palm-tree-print cover-up and you’ve got a beach look that’s anything but ordinary.

MUTED MINIMALISM
For an of-the-moment update with staying power, opt for a classic triangle bikini or a sleek square-neck one-piece in a color you won’t soon tire of. Finish with equally enduring pieces, like a white button-up and a pair of pull-on shorts.

BALCONETTE TOPS
The great thing about this retro underwire style? It flatters just about anyone. Pair with high-waisted briefs and a tote that’s big enough for both your towel and your current beach read.

STRAPLESS SUITS
If off-the-shoulder styles are a big—or really any—part of your summer wardrobe, a bandeau just makes sense. So go ahead: Slather on the sunscreen, kick off your terry-cloth slides, and enjoy your day (days) in the sun.

FITS-EVERYONE FABRIC
Different brands have different names for it—crinkle-knit, seersucker, four-way stretch—but they all do the same thing. Which is: scoop, skim, and hug in all the right places (and none of the wrong ones).
