Summer is here, which means it’s time to make sure you have the perfect unofficial uniform for the season: a swimsuit. This year, for those who dread the shopping itself, we’ve made things easier, wading through all that’s out there to bring you the very best of the best. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone—sleek one-pieces, surf-inspired printed patterns, gold offerings, and (good news for those who have no problem baring a lot), the string bikini is officially back in business. So, go ahead—take the plunge.
