Swimsuit Ideas for Spring Break 2019

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lafayette chapter.

Is your swimsuit drawer looking empty with spring break coming up? Never fear! While combing through websites, magazines, my daily Instagram feed, and even my own closet, there were some swimsuits I simply had to share with the world. Here are some of my favorite sites and styles for swimsuits that will make you feel amazing and are perfectly on-trend for Spring Break 2019!

 

 

1) Jolyn Clothing

Beloved by swimmers everywhere for their training-approved one-piece suits and bikinis, Jolyn Clothing makes simple, quality swimsuits for an affordable price! Their signature drawstring bottoms come in various cuts, including my personal favorite, the Europe Bottoms, but Jolyn also makes slimmer-cut, “beachy,” bottoms such as the Duke Bottoms.  For a simple but cute silhouette, check out their Triangle and Joey tops. For bigger-busted ladies, many of their tops come in sizes up to 2 or 4XL (38 D-DD). Additionally, Jolyn recently came out with the Steve Onesie, a one-piece suit designed for beach lounging.

2) PacSun

PacSun offers a wide range of swimsuit options. For affordable, stylish suits, check out their signature brand, LA Hearts. If you are looking for the latest trends, search no further than this buckle-front suit by Motel Rocks or these leopard-print (animal patterns are IN!!) bikinis from LA Hearts and LIONESS. While it is no longer available from Pacsun, I purchased a Somedays Lovin bikini from the site over the summer and fell in love with it! Watch out for shipping and BOGO 50% off deals, which often appear on Pacsun’s site.

3) Tobi

Tobi is an online boutique known for carrying a wide range of trendy, edgy styles. Their swimwear section contains a mix of their own swimwear line (cute suits for very affordable prices) and higher- end brands like Beach Riot and Rove. Make sure to use their code TOBI50 for 50% off your first order!

 

Styles:

 

1) Billabong Hippie Hooray One Piece Swimsuit

For a super cute crochet swimsuit design you may have seen all over your Instagram feed, look no further than Billabong’s Hippie Hooray One Piece. If you are going to purchase your first one-piece suit, there is no better option.  This suit features a fairly low-cut front with a high-coverage back. While Billabong has various colors on sale, this suit can also be found on Amazon for a reduced price.

 

 

2) BOUTINELA Fitted Top II

While on the pricier side, this classic, simple, and high-quality bikini top from Boutine Los Angeles will look amazing on anyone! I personally own one of the brand’s original Fitted Tops and I am obsessed with it. This top is perfect for a classic silhouette with a bit of California flare.

 

3) High Waisted, Mesh Bikini

The perfect high waisted suit may be difficult to find, but try adding some mesh if you want to rock this trendy style. Tularosa has a beautiful bikini in this style, but you can also find a similar one from Target. This suit will certainly earn you a multitude of compliments, so prepare to be flattered!

 

Sure, spring break is in a week, but there’s still time to order the swimsuit you’ve had your eye on. If your home or spring break destination is more tundra than Tahiti, don’t worry- you can still stock up for summer. Happy shopping, ladies!
