It’s that time of year again! SUMMER! Which means you have the perfect excuse to buy some new swimsuits. You obviously need one for the beach, one for hanging out poolside, one for tanning, and an extra one for good measure.

Black swimsuits are a must in every closet. It takes some time to find your perfect match, but when you do you will be so thrilled and should probably by three of them. They are the one swimsuit that you can wear for any occasion and look great.

White swimsuits are something I really I my eye on this summer. They are so gorgeous and are the perfect fit with a big straw hat and a pair of metallic sandals. Just be careful that you choose that that fits you body well. There is a fine line with white swimsuits between classy and…not so classy.

I love the tropical leaf theme that I am seeing everywhere. It takes the hibiscus flower swimsuit to a whole new chic level. Even if you are in the middle of a city- you can still have a little vacation vibes with you.

Sporty is always a good idea. I feel like every swimsuit that I come across that has that sporty look also has a special power of sucking everything in. I am not sure if it is the color blocking or fabric- but whatever it is, I like it!
