Key Takeaways
- Try swimwear with a satin finish, colorblocking, or wavy print if you’re wondering what to wear on spring break. Reach for minimal coverage styles to keep cool.
- If you want more coverage and a chicer style, reach for modern one-piece swimsuits in strapless or cut-out designs from WET Swim.
- Complete your spring break outfit ideas with multi-purpose cover-ups like sarongs that double as tops or midi skirts that easily transition from beach to bar.
You might still be bundling up for a few more cold mornings, but spring break is approaching fast, and so is the anticipation for every beach party on your radar. And honestly, what better way to survive the last of the chilly days than by slipping into vacation mode with a little outfit planning? Get into that sun-soaked state of mind with some of these bold swimwear looks for your spring break style!
The Satin Serenade Ensemble
If you want something that really capitalizes on that vacation glow, satin-finish swimwear is where it’s at. These bikinis are shiny in the best way, with a luxurious sheen that reflects the light and makes even a simple look feel special.
They make the perfect outfits for resort vacations, golden-hour photos, and beach parties that roll into the late evening hours. Wear one after a good tanning session and lots of sunscreen or body oil for the best results!
The Colorblocked Phenomenon
Colorblock swimwear is undergoing a modern renaissance right now, and the perfect time to pull out this statement style is spring break. Forget the vivid neon blocks that once defined the look because we’re leaning into elevated minimalism this season.
Try fresh contrasts like aubergine against ivory or champagne pink against black in one of WET Swim’s contemporary designs to create beach party spring break outfit ideas that are striking without being too loud.
The Barely-There Bikini
The “less is more” philosophy just makes sense here. Beach parties can get hot fast, and less fabric means less overheating.
Triangle bikini tops and thong bikini bottoms let your skin breathe without compromising comfort or support, making them the perfect style for spring break fun. A minimal bikini set from WET Swim is also the easiest way to get that golden tan or show it off to the max.
The “Make Waves” Bikini
If you’re ever feeling clueless about what to wear on spring break, turn to prints without hesitation. Wave-print swimwear is a classic that still reigns supreme for its ability to mirror the fluid beauty of the sea. It’s eye-catching and effortlessly charming.
And if you’re looking for versatility, a wave-print bikini top can easily double as a going-out top, which is reason enough to make it a part of your spring break style.
The Strapless One-Piece
A strapless one-piece swimsuit is the cooler, grown-up version of your childhood swimwear. It offers more coverage than the standard bikini while snatching the waistline and elongating your figure like a 1950s pin-up model.
It’s a classy pick for beach parties that are less wild rager and more Aperol spritz under the cabana. Style it with a wide-brim hat or retro sunglasses and platform slides to nail the vintage vibes.
The Confident-Cut One Piece
Want to add a one-piece to your spring break stylebook without dialing down the dare factor? Go for a design with strategically placed cut-outs at the waist or shoulder. It’s the perfect middle ground between coverage and reveal.
A one-piece with cut-outs also works beautifully as a bodysuit when paired with denim shorts, making it a smart choice for spring break outfit ideas that pull double duty. Try one in a subtly shiny fabric from WET Swim for a glam look.
The Sultry Sarong Cover-Up
No spring break style line-up is ever complete without a swimsuit cover-up, and we’ve got one with multiple personalities: a sarong. Tie it at your waist like a skirt, drape it across your chest and over your neck as a halter top, or just toss it over your shoulders when the sun’s causing trouble.
It’s a lightweight piece of fabric that maximizes your spring break outfit ideas without adding bulk to your beach tote or suitcase.
The Marvelous Midi Skirt Cover-Up
Switch things up with a WET Swim midi skirt cover-up! It offers the same beach-to-bar versatility in your spring break style as a tie-up skirt but with a more polished energy.
A midi skirt goes with all kinds of bikini top styles under the sun, as well as one-piece swimsuits, though we highly recommend a sarong for the latter. Keep one in your tote, and you’ve basically packed a backup outfit that can handle more than the beach.
