When you have to take an hour-long subway ride to get to the ocean, you’d better make it count. These cool-kid bikinis and one-pieces will take you from the beach to the boardwalk to the bar in a snap.
8 Swimwear Trends That Will Be Huge in NYC This Summer

Shopbop
Buttons
We may not need buttons to fasten our swimwear, but they sure do look cute.

Reformation
Animal Print
Take a walk swim on the wild side.

Net-a-Porter
Seersucker
There’s something delightfully retro about the puckered fabric (and that ’80s-tastic tortoiseshell ring).

Nordstrom
Sleeves
We know, this trend is a divisive one, but you gotta love a one-piece that doubles as a bodysuit.

Anthropologie
Yellow
Step aside, basic black: Yellow is both majorly on-trend and flattering on all skin tones.

Eloquii
(subtle) Metallics
Don’t worry—those bright gold lamé suits can stay in 2013. The updated version calls for neutral hues and subdued shimmer.

Revolve
Zippers
Sporty, sexy and a cinch to take off even post-swim? Sold.

Net-a-Porter
Braiding
If the arrival of beach weather isn’t a reason to get festive, we don’t know what is.
