25 of the Most Badass Cut-Out Swimsuits

One of the hottest summer trends is cut-out everything, which is super convenient for the hot summer days ahead of us. But, when you mix cut-outs + sun you tend to get crazy tan lines. If you aren’t afraid of that, then we’ve rounded up 25 perfect bathing suits for you… and 25 more reasons for you to slather on the SPF ;)

1. Caged Chaos Swimsuit ($98): If you want to stand out and have no fear of checker board skin, then this suit is for you. The back of this one-piece definitely adds a punch.

2. Cut Out Side Bandeau Swimsuit ($42): A little bit of coverage, but a lot more sun. This swimsuit will leave you a semi-weird torso tan but a fully bronzed chest. If you semi don’t care about tan lines, we recommend this one ;)

3. Blue Life Malibu Crush Racerback Bikini Top ($84): Sometimes cuts and slits can come across as a bit indecent, but this peep hole is the perfect touch of fun. Ladies — super plus — it’s a racerback! More support for your ta-tas.

4. Azalea Floral Knot Front Swimsuit ($62): Florals are always a fun pattern to sport in the season of summer. This suit is the definition of a mono-kini.

5. Seafolly Pop High Neck Tank ($101): We can always trust the land down under for providing us with killer beach wear. Seafolly is an Australian brand that is known for its bold colors and innovative tops. Thank you, Seafolly!

6. Classic Halter One Piece ($25): Leave it to Forever 21 to bring us our favorite trendy styles at an extremely affordable price. This is the perfect suit to pick up if you are secretly super concerned about tan lines and know you’ll only wear it once or twice this season.

7. Mikoh Seychelles Monokini One Piece Swimsuit ($202): We are in LOVE with this swimsuit. If you have the budget and a nice bronze skin tone, then add two to your shopping bag. One for you and one for me ;)

8. Pyramid Print Bandeau Bikini ($62): Aztec pattern + cut-outs = yes please! This high-waisted bikini is a great piece for beaching around this summer.

9. Tavik Swimwear Andi Monokini ($124): Bathing suits of Baywatch meets 2014. The punchy red color just takes this suit to a whole new level.

10. Goldfish Tie Side Monokini One Piece Swimsuit ($118): The combination of whimsical fish with sultry cut-outs makes this one-piece one of a kind. We love the mix of the bright orange and pastel blue.

11. Crochet Mix Monokini ($28): One thing that we can never get enough of is mixed patterns and textures. This monokini mixes a crochet top with a tribal printed bottom. Forever 21 never disappoints.

12. The High Roller Swimsuit ($142): This patterns looks like it just rolled out of the ‘90s and we can’t complain! High fashion cut-outs with a ‘90s flair, this might be our new favorite summer suit.

13. Mariachi Macrame One Piece ($276): Here at Brit HQ, we go gaga over all things macrame, and this one piece just stole our hearts.

14. Kovey String-Back One Piece ($113): All we can say is COLOR, COLOR, COLOR! These neon hues will look great on any skin tone.

15. Sunbleached Crochet Cut-Out One Piece ($96): Now we know we’ve shown you the most awesome macrame suit ever, but it came at a price. Here is a great alternative that brings the macrame style into a stunning one-piece.

16. N.L.P. Electric Youth Bikini top ($138): We are always on board when it comes to neon color blocking. Don’t feel like you need to purchase the bottoms to this pair, a simple black bottom will do the trick!

17. UNIF Shore Break One Piece ($171): This suit has the trifecta: tie dye, cut-outs and wrapping. Yes please!

18. Yes Master Americana Cut-Out One Piece ($68): 4th of July, along with a summer full of BBQs, is just around the corner. This one-piece is a must!

19. Mesh Insert One Piece ($128): Hold up. Strappy, mesh, bright red, and cut-outs — you will be turning heads and making jaws drop in this suit.

20. Out From Under One Piece ($68): Aren’t convinced that tan lines don’t matter? No problem. This suit for you. Just a little touch of fun cut-outs on the sides make this an easy tan-line fixable bathing suit.

21. 6 Shore Road Kiyana One Piece ($138): The dramatic neckline and side detailing make this bathing suit LBS material. Little Black Swimsuit — something that every woman needs.

22. Mikoh Osaka One Piece ($202): This one’s for sporty spice. Colorful teal stripes and cut-outs makes for a great sporty Monokini.

23. Kahala Top ($100): Strappy bandeau bikini tops are definitely worth the weird tan lines.

24. Mandalynn Sophia Bikini Top ($82): Teal should probably be everyone’s favorite color. We love the sporty yet sultry vibe of this bikini.

25. Island Calling Monokini ($138): If only this monokini also came with round trip tickets to Hawaii…

The only thing keeping me from being upset about A Court of Thorns and Roses TV show being canceled is how well Hulu handled it's newest thriller, Paradise. Created by screenwriter Dan Fogelman (This Is Us) and starring Sterling K. Brown, it's a murder mystery with dystopian undertones that explores what could happen if states become uninhabitable.

Besides feeling relevant to our current timeline, Paradise has a soundtrack that rivals Strangers Things and leaves viewers wanting more. Fortunately, Hulu got the memo and renewed it for Season 2 — thank goodness!

Here's everything to know about Paradise season 2!

Have there been cast updates for 'Paradise' Season 2?

Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Sterling K. Brown is already slated to return as Agent Xavier Collins (of course), but there's a new cast member in town! Deadline reports Shailene Woodley (Divergent, The Fault in Our Stars, and Big Little Lies) will be starring in Paradise Season 2.

According to the outlet, there's a chance she'll be one of the survivors that exist outside of Paradise (the bunker's community name) and will meet Agent Xavier Collins.

Has 'Paradise' Season 2 began filming? 

I'm pinching myself because Paradise Season 2 has started filming! Dan Fogelman shared the amazing news on his Instagram a few days ago and his comments are buzzing with excitement! "We’re baaaaaaaack. #Paradise#S2," he wrote which means we could see Sterling K. Brown and Julianne Nichols on our screens sooner than anticipated.

This comes after an update Fogelman shared with a hopeful fan on X. In response to a fear viewers would have to wait a long time to see more action from our new favorite characters, Fogelman put all fears aside. "we start shooting in just a few weeks. It won’t be 2 years I promise! #Paradise," he said.

When does 'Paradise' season 2 premiere?

Disney/Brian Roedel

Filming just started for Paradise Season 2, so a premiere date for it hasn't been shared yet. But at the rate Fogelman's going, we could possibly see the thriller series on Hulu towards the end of the year or at the beginning of 2026!

For now, fans can rewatch Season 1 on Hulu or when it appears on ABC April 7 at 10:00 p.m. (via The Hollywood Reporter).

What is 'Paradise' about?

Disney/Brian Roedel

Paradise begins in an idyllic community where homes are picturesque, streets are clean, and everyone lives in perfect harmony. However, it doesn't take long for the peace to be disturbed when the President is discovered murdered by his trusted Secret Service agent Xavier Collins.

Before long, he begins questioning the world he and his children live in while also searching for clues about his missing wife.

Who's in the 'Paradise' cast?

Disney/Brian Roedel

Paradise Season 1 has a stacked cast! Besides Sterling K. Brown, there's other familiar faces who help with the show's equilibrium.

  • Sterling K. Brown as Xavier Collins
  • James Marsden as President Cal Bradford
  • Julianne Nicholson as "Sinatra"
  • Krys Marshall as Robinson
  • Sarah Shahi as Dr. Gabriela Torabi
  • Jon Beavers as Billy Pace
  • Nicole Brydon Bloom as Jane Driscoll
  • Aliyah Mastin as Presley Collins
  • Percy Daggs IV as James Collins
  • Charlie Evans as Jeremy Bradford
  • Richard Robichaux as Carl

What's happened in 'Paradise' so far?

Disney/Brian Roedel

Wow, where do I begin?!

After it was revealed that the community he and everyone else lives in has been artificially created due to a disaster, the brief moments of unease Collins shows begins making sense. It's clear he and President Cal ended on bad terms before his death, but it doesn't seem like he was responsible for murdering the man he was sworn to protect.

What's odd is that Sinatra, the mastermind behind the beautiful community they live in, has been playing puppet master. She ordered the deaths of scientists sent to the surface to test the air quality AND she made sure Agent Billy was blindsided by his love interest's manipulation. Upsettingly, his murderer is none other than seemingly docile and clueless Agent Jane.

Viewers were also introduced to President Cal's father and were able to see how much he never wanted to be the face of the country. Though his father appears to have dementia, it's clear he feels guilty about something and may have seen who killed his son.

When did the season finale of 'Paradise' season air?

Disney/Brian Roedel

Paradise left off on several cliffhangers on Hulu March 4!

How many seasons of 'Paradise' will there be?

Disney/Brian Roedel

Dan Fogelman already knows what he wants to do with Paradise! He said, "I have a plan for three seasons of the show. Without giving away too much, each season of the show is a slightly different show, within the same show with the same characters," (via The Hollywood Reporter).
