Maybe your home is outfitted from top to bottom with neutral tones, clutter-free corners, and a few purposefully-placed pieces of furniture. Or perhaps your lifestyle is a passionate pursuit of simplicity, one that actively eliminates the extraneous and makes room for only the must-haves.
Whatever the case may be, a strong minimalist spirit is usually at the core of most decisions you make—even the seemingly small ones like what fashion to wear in the sand and sun.
That’s right—your swimwear can be a reflection of your less-is-more mantra, too. Instead of bikinis or beach vacation essentials with bold prints and even bolder color palettes, you might prefer to slip into an unfussy fit—one that’s sleek, timeless, and endlessly pairable.
Fortunately, we’ve pared down your shopping list to make searching for minimalist swimwear just as simple as your preferred aesthetic. Here are six minimalist bathing suit options to keep you looking and feeling your best on beach days.
Hey there, beach babe. Let us introduce you to one of our oldest friends—meet the one-piece. You might even know her already. She's always in style on the seaside, lake, or pool. It’s that classic form-meets-function, pull-on bathing suit that covers just enough but never too much.
This category of swimwear is a versatile one, and the ideal blend between all-day comfort and head-turning style. Plus, it’s been strutting its stuff in all sorts of waterscapes since the 1920s, making it a tried-and-true staple for any warm-weather closet.1
For the minimalist shopper who’s looking to make a subtly sexy statement on the beach or boardwalk, look no further than So Chic one-pieces.
These sophisticated, figure-hugging swimsuits might leave more to the imagination than a two-piece, but their fashion designs accentuate your natural shape, making you look and feel as sexy as you should. Plus, they come in a variety of earth-inspired colors and double-lined fabric materials.
Try these two on for size:
Sometimes a one-piece just won't cut it. Maybe you’re looking for a stylish, minimalist bikini bathing suit. You know the one—it hits all the right spots for your body type, allows room for lots of tanning (with sunscreen of course), and is poised for maximum comfort and wearability.
Lucky for you, there’s more than just one. Below you’ll find a whole boat-load of better-than-basic bikinis that’ll keep you frolicking in comfort and in summer style from sunup to sundown.
