Options for different body types and beach day activities
Photo: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images Swimsuit season is upon us, and to help you hit the beach in style, we spoke to more than two dozen fashionable women — including stylists, fashion editors, and chefs — about their favorite bikini or two-piece bathing suits. Each person sent along personal recommendations based on fit, style, body type, and activity , all of which we used as a blueprint to find some similar options to round out your search.
Should you want more of a supported, push-up effect, stylist Lotta-Liina Lavanti also recommends a retro swimsuit with underwire, like hers from Lahana Swim, which “reminds me of the bikinis girls used to wear in California in the late ’90s.” $158 at Farfetch Buy For a Colorful Print Mara Hoffman Lydia Bikini Bottom If you prefer something punchier, but high-waisted, Hana Elion of the band Overcoats recommends New York–based designer Mara Hoffman, who’s known for her graphic prints and bold colors. And if you’re not a fan of this particular style, Hoffman also makes vibrant one-pieces and low-rise bikinis.
For another popular and less-expensive bikini, J.J. Mitchell suggests COS, because she says it’s hard to beat the brand’s quality and the price point. Two-piece suits from & Other Stories are also a good option if you want to nail that Mara Hoffman look on a budget. For something no-frills and affordable, Lively offers a good selection of muted separates. And Topshop also offers a range of styles and prints at lower price points, too.
