My Favorite Swimsuits for Spring Break

Spring break is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning those beach days! Whether you’re heading to a tropical paradise or lounging by the pool, finding the perfect swimsuit is essential. Here are my favorite picks that combine style, comfort, and fun for this spring break!  I know swimsuit shopping is many of our least favorite things to do, so I am going to try to break it down by the types of swimsuits I like and brands that I love.

1. High-Waisted Two-Piece

Nothing says retro-chic like a high-waisted bikini! This style flatters a variety of body types and offers extra coverage while still being trendy. I love feeling a little more held-in with a high waisted bottom and then trying out different style tops that make you feel best.  I love this one and Summersalt always has great, comfortable options as well.

2. One-Piece with Cutouts

One-pieces have made a major comeback, especially with the addition of fun cutouts. This style is perfect for showing a little skin while still being sophisticated. I particularly love ones with unique back designs or side cutouts that add a touch of flair without sacrificing comfort.  This has been one of my favorite this season and own this one in multiple colors.

3. Sporty Swimsuit

For those active beach days filled with volleyball or surfing or chasing around kids, a sporty swimsuit is a must. Look for styles with racerback designs and secure fits that allow for movement. I opt for bold colors or fun patterns to keep it playful.  I am loving this sporty top from this year. 

 

4. Ruffled Bikini

Ruffles are such a cute way to add a feminine touch to your swimwear. I adore bikinis with ruffled tops or bottoms—they’re playful and flirty! Pair a ruffled top with solid bottoms for a balanced look or go for a fun print to make a statement.  I definitely have a brand that I love for these ruffled looks and own my different styles.  These are more for a fancy vacation without the kids rather than chasing children at the pool or beach.

5. Sculpting Swimwear

Sculpting swimwear is a fantastic option for those looking for a flattering fit. These swimsuits often feature body-shaping technology that smooths and sculpts your figure. Many come in stylish designs, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort. I love how these pieces boost confidence while providing a chic silhouette!  Stylest is no doubt my favorite brand for this and love the different styles they have including two pieces.  

6. Matching Swimwear

I definitely turned into one of those Mom’s that loves to match or coordinate with her kids when I can!  I know my days are very numbered, so I am trying to soak in the last little bit of time to match with them that I can.  There are a few places that I love to shop Mama and me options: Minnow Swim, Marysia, The Beaufort Bonnet Company and Beach Riot. 

 

Tips for Choosing the Right Swimsuit

• Know Your Body Shape: Understanding your body shape can help you select a swimsuit that enhances your best features.  Don’t be so afraid to even just try a two piece, you might surprise yourself.

• Comfort is Key: Ensure that the swimsuit fits well and is comfortable for all-day wear. You want to feel confident while enjoying the sun!  Also if you have a long- torso, be sure to seek out brands that offer those options.  I love Summer Salt for this option or trying out a two-piece rather than a piece.

• Don’t Forget the Accessories: A cute cover-up, stylish sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat can instantly elevate your beach look!  I love to find great pareos or beach skirts that I can easily wrap around my waist when I am at the pool, beach or on the boat.  My favorites are Julia Amory, Agua Bandito and Stylest. 

Final Thoughts

As you prepare for your spring break getaway, remember that the most important thing is to choose swimsuits that make you feel confident and beautiful. Embrace vibrant colors, fun patterns, and unique styles that reflect your personality. Here’s to sunny days and unforgettable memories on the beach!
