I Already Bought 13 Bikinis for Summer—These 9 Fit Me Best
As much as I love being at the beach and all the cute 'fits and accessories that accompany a day by the sea, I don't really love shopping for swimwear. I'm a bikini wearer through and through (apologies in advance to all of my one-piece lovers out there), but it's often difficult to find ones that fit well. I've talked to many friends with a range of body types that agree: swimwear doesn't always hug in all the right places or cover what you need it to cover when you need it to.
But there's good news! I bought thirteen bikinis already this summer (yes thirteen, I have issues) and I have only amazing things to say about nine of them. From a celeb favorite two-piece I simply had to try to trendier swim styles, these are my favorites for summer 2021.
Hailey Bieber recently wore a similar Triangl bikini on a trip to Miami and honestly that's the vibe I'm trying to channel right now. I actually preferred this pink terry cloth top to the traditional triangle-style she chose but I won't fight her over it.I'm not going to lie, I wanted this bikini so that I had an excuse to buy the matching oversize linen shirt. I have no regrets about this purchase though because the fit of the swimsuit is amazing. The bottoms are adjustable allowing me to choose how much coverage I want. The top has a tie back instead of a clasp, which means no one has to worry about how tight or loose it may be.I wasn't expecting to love this Reina Olga bikini nearly as much as I did. It might even be my favorite out of the bunch but the verdict is still out until I take them all for a spin at the beach. I found the crinkle fabric to be stretchy and forgiving in all the best ways but it's technically a one-size-fits-all style, so proceed with caution. Ladies with bigger boobs have no fear, they make the same bikini with a bit more fabric on top.I was immediately sold on the buttery soft (not to mention forgiving) material 437 uses for its suits. I especially love this particular top because it's so versatile. It can be tied in, wait for it, seven unique ways. I may or may not own this particular top in two other colors, but this abstract floral print is by far my favorite. Plus, there was a matching sarong which is not the type of thing I pass up.I can't get over this ribbed crinkle fabric. Or the dreamy blue color. Or the body hugging, but not squeezing, fit. I love it all and can't recommend Monday Swimwear enough. The checkerboard trend is everywhere these days from pants to nail art to phone cases and now bikinis. This crochet number isn't the most practical in terms of swimming, but I love the pattern and material so much I decided I was okay with that. There are plenty of beach days where the water is too cold to jump in anyway, or at least that's what I'm telling myself.This neon bikini by Feline Swim made me wonder why all swimwear isn't made from seamless fabric. Also, a moment please for this very cool bikini top style.Another Monday Swimwear bikini I fell in love with instantly. There's nothing like a simple white option to really let your accessories take center stage. After all, my swimwear styling motto will always be "the more jewelry, the better."A plain black bikini with a twist. These metal ring details are really doing it for me because they add just the right amount of sexy I'm looking for without being too much.Another favorite from Reina Olga. Mermaid bikini tops have been trending for a couple summers now, so it's about time I jumped on board. Ideally I'd wear this Italian brand on a yacht in Italy, so if everyone reading this could manifest that for me that would be wonderful.
Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...
I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...
Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
