Photo: Max Libertine/UnSplash As the weather gets warmer and days at the beach and pool are within reach, it's time to think about what bathing suits you'll want to wear. Whether you gravitate toward the classic coverage of a one-piece, a tan-line-free bandeau top, or the hybrid flexibility of a tankini, the right swimsuit can help you look and feel your best. But with so many styles, cuts, and designs, it's difficult to tell which suits and bikinis will give you the look you want. To make the shopping process easier, we researched and collected 15 of the best bikinis on the market. Our search spanned from micro-minis and high-waist cheekies to longline cuts and unique styles that will stand out in a sea of simple triangle tops and tie-waist bottoms. Of course, there's no such thing as a universally perfect bikini — an infinite number of body shapes and personal styles means that "best" means something different for everyone. Therefore, for our list, we considered objective factors like coverage, support, design options, and inclusive sizing. After taking all of these factors into account, Andie's The Bermuda Top took first prize. We especially love its underwire that guarantees both lift and coverage. Read on to see our favorite fashionable, figure-flattering bikinis that are sure to make a splash this summer.
