11 swimsuits I don't hate

This is high praise

Happy almost-Fourth-of-July everyone, and apologies for the fact that posting has been spotty the past couple of weeks—sometimes life just intervenes, and posting every weekday becomes impossible. I’ll be back here on the regular on Monday, though, and in the meantime let’s look at some swimwear. For starters, I love the teal shade on this classic suit, but it comes in a veritable ton of other colors too.

For those who crave a little more coverage, this surfing-inspired number might just be the ticket.

I really like the idea of a high-waisted two piece, but do I dare? This one is so damned cute.

This strapless specimen is so fun with its sweet floral print.

I like that this comes off sexy without revealing too much skin at all.

I know I just showed you this great snap-button suit, but it really is my current favorite, and the only swimsuit that has ever given me the appearance of cleavage.

I don’t really mind the idea of a swim dress at all, but so many of them are pretty matronly. This one has really simple, clean lines, which I appreciate.

Relatedly, I also kind of like the idea of a romper, like this adorable one.

I don’t usually like one-shoulder anything, but this is actually quite elegant.

The deep neckline here makes this one standout.

And finally, a well-priced zip-front suit in perky red (it comes in several other shades too).

Like most newsletters of this kind, I use affiliate links when I can, which means that if you make a purchase, I earn a little cash. Please do know, though, that nothing *ever* appears here that I wouldn’t want to wear, use, or own myself.
