Every year, spring break sneaks up on me, and even though I’m sadly not in school anymore, it has me suddenly evaluating my swimwear situation with fresh eyes. Seeing everyone’s Instagram content in the sunshine makes me think this is the perfect time to edit my swim collection ahead of the summer to come. Currently, I am on the hunt for swim pieces that feel absolutely fun because that’s what spring break is about. I am saving those modest one-pieces for my family vacation and jumping into statement suits that are absolutely post-worthy. I’ve learned the hard way that not all swimwear earns a spot in the rotation, no matter how good it looks online, and I want this year to be anything but boring.
These are the swim pieces that feel so worth stocking up on—the ones I can picture myself wearing repeatedly, styling differently, and packing without hesitation. Consider this my edit of swimwear that passes the real-life test and makes the ultimate splash.
