The Good Ol’ One-Piece

A classic, easy option for summer, now getting a little sexier with the variations including cut-outs and a one-shoulder. Of course, the one-piece tends to lean toward the conservative side no matter how much skin you try to get away with. It seems like a trendy idea on Miranda Kerr, but you discover in the Target dressing room that you kind of resemble your grandma. You’re back to bikinis while you still can.

The obvious choice in fifth grade when you were beginning your migration toward the real bikini. Please cooperate boobs! Maybe this pink polka dot halter from Limited Too will make me look like I’m in ninth grade.

 The Bandeau Bikini

Please don’t fall off during this wave. Please don’t fall off when I jump in the pool. Please don’t fall off when I’m walking or doing anything else besides tanning.

 The Triangle Bikini

You suffered through the StairMaster and the Elliptical and Pilates for this bathing suit. You also ate almonds for dessert for a month so this had better make you look like you belong with the Angels.

 The Push-Up Bra Bikini

Basically a bra made of bathing suit material, but a cute option nonetheless. Maybe choose patterns that are less bra-like though.

 The High-Waisted “Vintage” Bikini
