Gone are the days when the biggest variation in swimwear silhouettes was an exposed midriff. This season, designers offered no shortage of options, from Emilio Pucci’s athletic- inspired neon number (which perfectly channels ’80s ELLE) to Gottex’s cutaway maillot (which rivals some of the raciest bikinis out there). Our annual beach guide makes sense of it all, laying out six swim “personalities” to help you find your look. Experimentation is encouraged: Take the pairing shown here, of Carolina Herrera’s “swimming ladies” oxford—in a reissued print inspired by the designer’s summers spent in the Dominican Republic—with Calvin Klein’s classic bikini bottoms. Whatever you decide, don’t be afraid to dive right in!
