CUT-OUT ONE-PIECES
This look both covers up and reveals just enough, making it one of the sexiest looks of the season. The most popular come in the form of side cut-outs like Sofia Vergara's palm print suit and center cut-outs, which show off the top of your abs.

HIGH-WAISTED BIKINI
This retro-inspired silhouette has made a huge comeback in recent years and this summer it's even hotter than ever. And for good reason: It is made to accentuate your waist, as seen on Danielle Brooks (she's wearing a cactus print bikini from GabiFresh's line for Swimsuits for All).

RUFFLES
This flirty detail, one of spring's hottest trends overall, looks even more feminine when found on swimwear. Play up the girlie vibe by choosing a style in a pretty color, like Emma Robert's pink bikini, or a romantic floral print.

CROCHET
Crochet swimwear has evolved beyond simple colors — now the popular way to wear this knitted material is by choosing a mismatched style, something with stripes or a piece with something extra (like Alessandra Ambrosio's shells). As for the closures? Oh, those definitely have to be tassels.
