Summer Outfit Idea: Wearing a Bathing Suit Like a Shirt
We firmly believe that some swimsuits are just too good to be saved for vacation. Did you snag an awesome sporty one-piece that you can’t wait to break out this summer? Or maybe your French piqué bikini top is just dying to see the light of day. No need to keep them stowed; it’s time to start wearing your swimwear...as real clothing. Because some of our favorite layering pieces of the season are bathing suits.
There are certainly dos and don’ts to slipping into beachwear. In most basic terms: DO think of your swimsuit as a lingerie-alternative, and DON’T tie on a string bikini and call it a day (unless you are literally at the beach). If you’re looking for cool ways to slip into that bikini before you’re water-bound, follow our tips below.

Consider the classic one-piece swimsuit the bodysuit of summer. And you know how much we love a bodysuit. A top that won’t bunch, sag, or require constant retucking? Sign us up! It’s simply a bonus that this one doesn’t require a bra.
