Shopbop

Buttons

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

Karla Colletto top ($202)

Reformation

Animal Print

Take a walk swim on the wild side.

Reformation ($128)

Net-a-Porter

Seersucker

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

Hunza G ($190)

Nordstrom

Sleeves

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

Solid & Striped ($168)

Anthropologie

Yellow

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

Mara Hoffman ($260)

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.

Eloquii ($90)

Revolve

Zippers

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

Lovers + Friends ($128)
