Style: High-Waisted Vintage
Perfectly Pastel
Mix the old and the new with these pastel colors on a high-waisted bikini. This is a high-waisted bottom that shows more skin than others, so if you don’t want to go all the way with this bold style, then this is a perfect pick. The printed pastel design brings in a modern flair so you can have the best of both trends.

Style: Wraps and Twists
X Marks the Spot
You don’t have to have to go multi-colored if you want a twisted bikini. This bandeau-styled top doesn’t mess with any color except for a rich purple, and that’s all you need with the creative crisscross in the center. And with a strap around the neck, you have more support than a normal, strapless bandeau, so you don’t have to worry about anything falling down.

Old Navy
Double Trouble
Blue on one side plus green on the other equals a cute color combo that you just can’t pass up. Instead of a basic bandeau, spice things up with a style that throws a twist in the middle. Great for a day in the sun, or even better for a night event because the neon will be dazzling, even in the dark.

Twisted Pink Lemonade
Why settle for one color when you can have two? Have twice the fun with this bright pink and yellow twisted bandeau style. The twists on the top and bottom add a stylish texture and the bow in the middle of the top wraps the look up with a flirty touch that you don’t find very often.

Bedazzled Beauty
Add some sparkle and shine to this season’s bikini. Black doesn’t always have to be so basic, and this style will change your idea of what a simple black bikini can be.

Timeless Treasure
If you really want to stick to a traditional black bikini style, then this might be just what you’re searching for. There is nothing more classic than the LBB because it is, after all, the sister of the ever faithful LBD. This is a necessary staple in your summer wardrobe and it can be worn at any occasion. This is a no-frills, straightforward design with just a small string detail on the sides of the bottoms to keep it fashionably up to date.

Effortless Eyelet
What happens if you combine the fashionable fringe trend with a basic black bikini? This design fits into both of those categories with a simple, two piece structure that incorporates flowy eyelet on the top. It’s quieter than the shredded fringe, but just as fabulous and a tad more girly.
Top: $45.95

Tell Me About It, Stud
Bring out your rocker style this summer with a studded suit. It stays true to the LBB, but it lets you show off your playful personality with these silver accents. The top also has a unique shape, so if you’re bored of the same old halter tops or bandeau bikinis, then this is just what you need to change things up!

Blue Me Away
Take a cue from the deep blue sea (or the fresh blue pool water), and choose a bright blue bikini this season. By picking the right color, a one-color suit can make just as much of a statement as one with an intricate pattern. The bow on this look is the right amount of design, and since it fits nicely in the center on top of the other material, it shouldn’t leave any funky tan lines.
Top: $14.00, Bottom: $14.00
Target
Tickle Me Hot Pink
Bring out your girly side and choose this bright pink color for some fun in the sun. If you’re looking for an extra boost up top, this form can help give you a more filled out look. If the wild patterns of this season aren’t your style, then go for this one-tone option: it’s a solid choice!

Teeny Weeny Bright Green Bikini
