16 Cute Bikinis That We're Eyeing After Weeks of Research
To no surprise, we prefer to usher in a new season by scoping out the best shopping. As we move into April, we normally set aside a portion of our budget for a cute bikini as we plan for warmer weather ahead. And while this year swim season may look different, we're still researching and bookmarking as creatures of habit.
True to form, the research started months earlier at fashion week, on Instagram, and via collection drops from our favorite brands. Our desired bikini is one that is comfortable, stylish, and most importantly, long-lasting.
Which brings us to the below bikinis. Fruits of our months-long analysis, the below sets are our seasonal favorites from go-to brands like Solid & Striped, Onia, Anemone, Hunza G, Faithfull the Brand, and more.
Whether you're looking for something high-waisted, strappy, cheeky, full-coverage, triangle, scoop-neck, balconette, or bandeau, there's a new bikini for everyone. Below, shop the cute bikinis that are currently our favorites—all organized by style.
Bottom Style: High-Waisted
We've been eyeing this tiger-print Mara Hoffman bikini for months.
This black underwire bikini from Anemone is, in a word, perfect.
Mix and match these classic black bottoms with all of your favorite bikini tops.
Bottom Style: String
We love the ruffle detailing on the adjustable string bottoms.
Of course, Ganni's new swimwear is just as on-point as the brand's spring line.
Bottom Style: Cheeky
Solid & Stripe's best-selling Eva top now comes in a black-and-white leopard print.
You can also pair the matching cheeky bottoms with a solid black top.
We love the mesh detailing on this minimalistic Tori Praver suit.
These bottoms may not make for the best tan lines, but we're willing to make that sacrifice.

You can wear this classic triangle bikini top for years to come.
We've been eyeing these lace-up bikini bottoms for weeks.
