ASOS Mono Gingham Print Tie Front Frill Bikini Top

We’re eternally grateful to ASOS for this less costly version of our fave seasonal print.

Gregor Pirouzi Pam One Piece Swimsuit

This one-piece suit only hints at Ariel with a not-so-subtle off-duty mermaid reference. If you’re still livin’ that mermaid life, but you’re too cool to say so, this is *obvi* the suit for you.

Missguided Black Margaritas Made Me Do It Swimsuit

Here’s the cheekiest way to rock a statement suit this season. From its flashy, metallic gold lettering, to that high thigh cut, it’s just as haute as its designer twin.

Allihop Tia Bikini Top

For the same look in a flirty floral, we’d go for this gorgeous top. Because ICYMI, an underwire top with a vintage high waist is just what a beach trip requires.
