We love Free People for its beautiful dresses and cool workout gear, but its ever-evolving swim department is what has our attention this season. The trendy retailer has a wide variety of its own swimwear in addition to carrying popular brands like Stone Fox Swim and Beach Riot. Whether you’re looking for the sexiest, itty bitty string bikini, a high-waisted suit with more coverage, or a long sleeved surfsuit that will help you brave the waves, these 16 styles are perfect seasonal essentials, and they’ll be in your closet for years to come.
To help you find the right picks for summer, we did the hard work for you and curated a list of our favorites right now. You can shop everything from cutout one-pieces to sexy bikinis, all in one place. Our particular favorites are a sexy shimmery one-piece and a reversible bikini that’s like getting two swimsuits in one, but they’re all winners in our book. Plus, if you want cheeky bottoms or more coverage, we found picks you’re going to love. Keep scrolling to shop our favorite finds and snag your pick.
