A Watermelon Sugar Summer
If you’ve followed me for any length of time, this fabulous hat probably needs no introduction. You’ll spot it throughout these summer swimsuit outfit ideas because I own it in three colors and practically lived in it last summer!

Coral Coastlines
There’s something about a pop of color that puts me in a summer state of mind. I’m a big fan of the quality and fit of this swimwear brand, and this vibrant coral set is no exception. If bikinis aren’t your preferred silhouette, they even have a one-piece version available, too. This look is playful, polished, and ready for everything from beach vacations to lazy afternoons by the pool!

Could this look be any more fabulous!? My daughter has this cover-up, and it is truly the biggest compliment magnet. I’m equally obsessed with the nostalgic simplicity of this retro one-piece, which gives the entire look a timeless feel. I paired it with this fabulous hat and an oversized tote to carry the red theme throughout for a polished yet playful finishing touch.

Very few summer swimsuit outfit ideas are as fun and colorful as this one! What I love most about this look is its unexpected versatility.

Salt & Sunshine
Who says practical can’t be fabulous? The cutouts on this one-piece add just the right amount of fun while still providing the coverage and confidence we all love in a swimsuit. The coordinating cardigan and shorts set may have stolen my heart, though. Not only does it elevate the entire look, but it would also pair with a simple white swimsuit for more styling possibilities.

Sherbet Shores
Some pieces earn a permanent spot in your summer rotation, and this look is filled with them. I wore both this flattering one-piece and this under-$10 cover-up on repeat last summer, and for good reason. I own the cover-up in multiple colors because it’s lightweight, versatile, and pairs beautifully with just about any swimsuit. Add in my latest sunglasses splurge that I can’t get enough of, and you have one of those summer swimsuit outfit ideas you’ll reach for again and again.

I’m swooning over this unexpected take on the classic polka dot bikini. Equal parts playful and polished, it’s proof that timeless style never has to be boring. The flattering cut on the mid-rise bottoms couldn’t be more fabulous, and I love the support this top offers.

I finally gave in to the hype surrounding this swimsuit brand, and I can confidently say it was worth every penny. The fit is so flattering, and the textured fabric makes it feel even more elevated.
