1. One-Piece, Many Looks

If your day isn’t planned out already, you’ll want an outfit that adapts easily. One-piece swimsuits do just that. Try an elevated style from WET Swim featuring adjustable halter or back ties, side or back cutouts, strapless silhouettes, or daring plunge necks. Choose one in a splashy hue and pair it with denim shorts or a sarong cover-up.
2. The LBB (Little Black Bikini)

There’s no point in holding back on beach vacation outfit ideas. If bold and chic is your state of mind, reach for a minimal coverage Little Black Bikini. Think bandeau tops with an adjustable front or triangle tops with a halter neck. All WET Swim bikini tops feature removable cups for a barely-there fit, so pick one that matches your vibe.
3. Colorblocked, Beach-Blessed

Who knew colorblock bikinis would become the “it” beach staple to flaunt right now? We did. Our colorblock bikini bottoms and tops come in fresh, contemporary hues that are striking without being flashy.
Grab a set or two to layer under breezy semi-sheer clothes, and you won’t have to worry about what to wear for a beach vacation.
4. The Glow-Getter Set

Make a statement with your swimwear! Capitalize on the sun-kissed glow you’re about to achieve with a luxurious satin finish bikini. Opt for a cheeky style to minimize tan lines, and pair it with one of our midi skirt swimsuit cover-ups for a bold beach-to-street feel.
