CUT-OUT ONE-PIECES

Credit: Sofia Vergara/Instagram

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

Credit: Danielle Brooks/Instagram

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).

CROCHET

Credit: AKM-GSI

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.
