If you live near the beach or plan to take a tropical vacation this summer, most likely you are going to need the perfect swimsuit to lounge in. There is no such thing as one swimsuit for one body type. But there is a swimsuit to fit every girl’s style. So, instead of playing it safe, try out one of these swimsuit trends that highlights your personal sense of fashion.

1.     High-waisted, push- up bikini

 

Wear if: You want a great combination of a retro and trendy swimsuit.

 

2.     Cami, floral top bikini

 

Wear if: You tend to wear girly outfits and are a fan of off-the-shoulder tops.

 

3.     Color block bikini

 

Wear if: You constantly wish you were born in the 80s because you cannot stop mixing bright colors.

 

4.     Lace-up, one piece
