I'm a Swimwear Expert: Out of 70 Pairs, These Are the Best Bikinis I Own

Swimsuit season is upon us, and today, we're focusing on all the beautiful bikinis worth scooping up for summer. To get more insight on the bikinis worth adding to our carts this season, I tapped Michelle Scanga—former Who What Wear managing editor, a swimwear connoisseur, and the queen of bikinis who owns over a whopping 70 bikinis.

Scanga took the time to spill her absolute favorite two-pieces she loves and wears the most. With so many bikinis in her drawer, there's no doubt a style has to really earn her approval to gain wear time at the pool, so her picks below are the crème de la crème within her collection. Keep scrolling to see her favorites and to shop the best bikinis we have our eyes on this summer.

"I'm a sucker for string bottoms, and with this one, you can adjust the straps to fit higher or lower, which I love. Plus, it's the perfect shade of pink for me."

"I absolutely love this tankini. It’s great because you don't need a cover-up when you're en route to the pool or beach. Sometimes, I'll even wear it out with jeans or high-rise bottoms."

"I found this printed bikini on Amazon last summer. It was such a steal. I like to sprinkle in a few Amazon suits each season when it comes to trendier styles."
