While quiet luxury and minimalist moments are all the talk this summer, there’s still room for an OTT statement — especially at the pool, beach or cottage. Designers have taken swimwear from basic to brilliant with unique silhouettes, fresh new hues, bold prints and cheeky cutouts, with countless celebrities (we see you, Hailey Bieber) jumping on board. So whether you’re sunbathing on the French Riviera or laying out on your apartment balcony, très chic is just a bathing suit away.
