With Labor Day approaching, now’s the time to schedule those last-minute beach trips and refresh your swimwear wardrobe. Two-piece swimsuits have a mix-and-match appeal that is extra versatile (creating multiple looks by swapping in different pieces) and ultimately flattering (allowing you to pick a top and bottom that best suit your body type). That’s why we’ve rounded up pieces that have matching cover-ups and some of the cutest coordinating mommy-and-me swim sets around.
Our top picks all have star power behind them — Gigi Hadid and Demi Moore have even designed their own swimsuit lines. Some of summer 2022’s hottest swimwear trends include soft texture, bold color including Barbie pink, ruffles, riffs on retro styles and graphic patterns. And with seasonal sales in full swing, now is the time to dive into swim shopping.
So whatever your shape, here are an array of styles that hit on key trends while highlighting your best assets so you can look and feel your best on the beach.
1. Demi Moore x Andie Monaco Bikini Top and Bottom
