Ignore the trends of seasons past—you're not going to make a splash with a matchy-matchy two-piece this summer. Susie Esterline, a Chicago-based wardrobe stylist and WhatWouldSusieDo.com blogger suggests putting those matching tops and bottoms (including boyshorts, girls!) into storage. Instead, opt for teensy bikinis, monokinis (the revived cut-out one-piece), and tankinis with an edge.

Susie asserts that you should also keep your figure in mind when choosing your "It" swimsuit. "Wear what fits and flatters your figure," she says, and you can't go wrong.
