High-Waisted
For those of us with less than six-pack abs, meet your new best friend: the high-waisted bikini. It covers problem areas while drawing attention to the waist, and affords just the slightest peak of the midriff. No wonder it’s a Taylor Swift fave.
Off-the-Shoulder
60 years later and the off-the-shoulder trend still going strong. Be like Hollywood icon Lauren Bacall and try a ruffle detail to give the illusion of an hourglass figure, or go for a more minimal style. Either way, halter top tan lines be damned.
Statement Lips
Wearing a full face of makeup to the beach will inevitably lead to a hot mess, so keep it simple with a statement red lip. Try a tinted balm with SPF for tanning or a liquid lipstick for color that will last through multiple mags. Versatile!
Killer Sandals
There is no better way to ~elevate~ a bikini than through sandals. A platform like Marilyn’s is comfy and can easily be worn from a day at the beach to a night under the stars. Just don’t forget your coverup!
