For minimal tan lines and maximum impact this summer, there is nothing like a head-turning bikini. The popularity of the two-piece means there are endless choices when it comes to finding your perfect suit, from streamlined athletic styles to 50s-inspired pin-up silhouettes, and everything in between. A gorgeous bikini is the perfect beach wear for a variety of style preferences – it doesn’t matter if you prefer the modesty of a retro-inspired suit or if you want to bare it all in a cheeky Brazilian cut. Check out our top picks and be sure to stock up on sun block.
