Anything that’s Rihanna approved will certainly become a source of inspiration. After many opportunities to celebrate have been put on pause, we are still looking for ways to dress up, and swimwear that is inspired by nightlife is a great place to start.

2. All Tied Up

A stringy bikini is always a good idea. Not only is the trend flattering on all body types, it tends to be adjustable, making it easy to find a style that fits you just right.
Riders Draw Cord Bikini
Retro prints are sure to be the star of summer 2021, and this suit is truly far out. The adjustable strings are simply the icing on the cake, as they flatter your form and keep your suit on tight.
Wrap Triangle Bikini
Matteau’s classic triangle bikini top wraps around your body for an instantly sexy vibe. We like to wear ours with a blazer and Bermuda shorts off the beach too.
High Waisted Brief Bottoms
The brand’s high-waisted bottoms provide a bit more coverage on the bottom. The recycled nylon/elastane blend means they’ll hug your body without feeling constricting or tight.
Brax One Piece
For the minimalist at heart. Wear this to dive into a good, thought-provoking book on the beach.
Mileey Rope-Detailed Cutout Halterneck Bikini Top

This is the ideal bikini to be seen in on your next vacation. The strings are strategically designed to emphasize an hourglass shape as they wrap around the body.
Bikini Bottom

These high-cut bikini bottoms will hug your body just right. The rope ties are an elevated take on a string bikini and are strong enough to handle any current. With adjustable straps, you can trust in your suit and just have fun.
3. Ribbed

We love any trend that is both functional and fashionable, and that is where ribbed swimsuits come into play. Like any good investment, they stretch and grow to meet your body wherever you’re at. These are the suits that are perfect for the lover of water sports and beach volleyball.
Nancy One-Shoulder Metallic-Crinkle Swimsuit
Hunza Gmatchesfashion.com
Designed with a one-shoulder silhouette, this high-cut one-piece from Hunza G doubles as a very comfortable bodysuit. Inspired by the British mod scene in the ’60s, the crinkled jersey of this metallic brown suit lends a flattering ribbed effect.
Ginny Scrunch Bikini Set
Who doesn’t need a vibrant yellow bikini? This ribbed style features a square neck and low-rise bottoms for a comfortable fit.
Idalia Ribbed Swimsuit
Mara Hoffmannet-a-porter.com
A more sophisticated take on ribbed swimwear comes by way of this sustainable piece that carries an aura of the tropics. Made from 100 percent recycled plastic, this is a purchase that just feels right. Love on the ocean with this piece.
4. Cut It Out

Cutouts have proven that they’re here to stay and for good reason. They are the best way to take a classic silhouette and give it a fresh new look. Flattering on all bodies, they simply show a bit of extra skin. Just don’t forget your sunscreen!
Looped Halter One-Piece Swimsuit
Christopher Esbermodaoperandi.com
This piece was strategically designed to make you look your best. The cutouts come in at the most flattering parts of your waist to amplify your natural curves. And with a high neck, your torso will be elongated for a lean look.
Oasis Cutout Chiffon-Trimmed Printed Halterneck Swimsuit
A swimsuit that stopped us in our tracks, this piece is the definition of chic. With bold sleeves that billow in the wind and cutouts that show off your shape, you’ll never want to take it off. After a long day at the beach, pair it with a high-waisted pant for an evening look.
Como Monokini
If you’re looking for a more dramatic cutout, this is it. LNA’s monokini features a front cutout that extends to the back for a look that’s anything but subtle.
5. Circle Games

This trend feels a little retro but also right on time. A strapless suit is ideal for tanning (with SPF!) purposes, and the subtle ring detail keeps that bandeau looking flattering.
Oregano Bikini Top
Agua by Agua BenditaShopBAZAAR.com
Handmade by artisans in Colombia, this is a piece worth investing in. Just add a sarong, and you have nailed poolside fashion.
Comino Bikini Bottom
Agua by Agua BenditaShopBAZAAR.com
A high-waisted bikini bottom is always a good idea. The print on this one takes the romantic themes we’ve seen in Bridgerton and brings them into our swimwear collection.
Kate One Piece
We’re seeing the circular motif pop up as part of a chic, adjustable belt. Pair this suit with your favorite sunglasses for a simple two-step look.
Misha Embellished Halterneck Bikini Top
Cult Gaianet-a-porter.com
Cult Gaia’s fiery orange bikini is cut from smooth stretch fabric and features tonal O-ring hoop details. The halter top is just as adjustable as a traditional triangle bikini too.
Misha Bikini Briefs
Cult Gaianet-a-porter.com
These medium-coverage briefs sit low on the waist to elongate the torso—and have adjustable straps to get the fit exactly right.
