1. High-Leg One-Pieces
Warning: this scandalous style isn't for the faint of heart. One-pieces have gotten a major revamp when it comes to their silhouettes. There's been a resurgence in the '90s high-leg trend and we guarantee you'll be seeing it everywhere. If you're brave enough, try this Asos High Leg One Piece ($25).

2. Off-the-Shoulder
We all know that off-the-shoulder dresses and shirts are Summer staples, and now the same can be said about swimsuits. These swimsuit tops can also double as crop tops — just throw on a pair of shorts after your dip in the pool and you're good to go. One great example? This Milly Cabana Sirolo Bandeau Top ($100).
This Lisa Marie Fernandez Leandra Off-the-Shoulder Seersucker Bikini ($395) is one way you can make a statement this summer.
