The perfect swimsuit for you is really the one you feel best in. Check out these 18 sexy styles and find a bikini or one-piece that will make you feel like the beach goddess you truly are.
A plunging neckline is ultra-sexy, yet the yellow stripes keep this one-piece playful. Plus, the crisscross straps in the back are adjustable so they'll fit to your shoulders.
Going from the beach to a surf bar? Then get yourself a swimsuit that doubles as a lewk. Simply throw on a pair of shorts or a skirt over the bottoms, and the bikini looks like a cute crop top.
A scalloped design on both the top and bottoms keeps a strapless silhouette from looking too boring. And if green isn't for you, this same style comes in an array of other colors.
Don't like delicate spaghetti straps? A one-piece with wider ones that cross in the back ensure everything stays put if you're frolicking out in the waves.
A floral pattern will definitely stand out on the beach, and the ladder straps at the bust ensure you won't have a malfunction. This suit also has sewn-in cups for added support.
No tan lines, no problem. The longline style and optional padding will give you extra coverage, while the high-waisted and high-cut bottoms have a cool '90s vibe.
Yes, thong bathing suits can be polarizing, but if they're totally your thing, then opt for a one-piece with a cute square neck in the front and saucy cut in the back.
A leopard triangle top becomes even more eye-catching with additional straps. Plus, the secure clasp closure means you won't have to worry about the waves pulling your bikini off.
A cute fish-patterned swim style will look at home in any body of water. Add delicate strings to the bottoms that go above your hips and it's both retro and sexy.
A scooped neckline with wider straps offers more coverage for those with larger chests (if that's what you're looking for!). This cute striped two-piece also comes with the option for custom embroidery on the top.
What's better than a vivid blue design with a romantic bow? One that's fully reversible with black lining on the other side. Talk about the best of both worlds.
A two-toned suit with a racerback will definitely turn heads on the beach volleyball court or out in the waves. The wide waistband won't slip if you're moving around, and the fabric is not only quick-drying, but it also doesn't lose its shape.
A longline bustier top with boning provides structure if you're not a fan of flimsy, thin triangle tops. Plus, the green and pink palm print on this is perfect for your next beach trip.
