Growing up on a lake meant living in a bikini from sunrise to sunset all summer long. That kind of upbringing turns you into a swimwear expert by default—or at least, that’s what my friends and family would say. As the go-to bikini guru in my circle, I’ve made it my mission to find the best, most flattering, and on-trend bikinis ahead of every warm-weather season or trip. Because at the end of the day, my happiest place is by the water, and looking good while I’m there is just part of the fun.
Keep scrolling for my top picks for your next getaway, whether it’s a spring break trip somewhere tropical or a weekend stay on the coast.
