ITS BIKINI SZNNNNN👙
I had the chance to go into South Moon under the other day, which is a boutique with so many cute brands. They recently upped their bikini game with spring and summer approaching so obviously I had to go in and try some on. I actually left with one of these bikinis, so let me know which one you think it is in the comments.
The first three bikinis are actually from Frankie’s bikinis, which is a pretty expensive bikini brand, but they are super high-quality and very flattering. For reference I’m wearing a size small set, and typically I’m an extra small top so I sized up.
The first bikini is this little pink polkadot bikini, if you know me, pink is my favorite color. I love that this is a triangle top and bottom because it is super adjustable.
The next bikini is so different and I just love that about it. It is a plaid bikini with a little crochet flowers on the edges, I really think crochet is going to be huge this summer.
The last Frankie’s bikini is a red polkadot bikini with some contrasting colors on it. I love this bikini for either memorial day weekend or Labor Day or even Fourth of July.
The last bikini is from Bondeye Swim , this brand is super unique because they are a one-size-fits-all style, so I am typically an extra small and this fits me really good, but it would also fit someone that is in a large or extra large because of how stretchy it is. My favorite thing about this bikini is that the sparkles were not itchy. I love the mix of the blue stripes with the sparkles, It is the cutest touch.
Okay, so trying on all those gorgeous new bikinis really got me thinking about what makes a swimsuit truly special and worth investing in! It's not just about how it looks on the hanger, but how it feels when you're wearing it, whether you're lounging by the pool or hitting the beach bikini scene. I wanted to share some of my personal tips for finding that perfect swimwear that makes you feel amazing all summer long. First off, fit is everything – and I mean *everything*. You saw how I mentioned sizing up in Frankie's Bikinis because I usually wear an extra small top? That's a prime example. Don't get fixated on the tag size! Every brand is different. What matters most is how the fabric molds to your body without digging in or gapping. For instance, the Bondeye Swim one-size-fits-all was such a surprising discovery because it stretched to fit so well, proving that sometimes a unique sizing approach can be fantastic. When you're trying on, move around a bit, raise your arms, even do a little shimmy! This helps you check for comfort and security. You want to feel confident, not constantly adjusting. Then there's the material. High-quality swimwear fabrics make a huge difference in comfort and how long your bikini lasts. I always look for something that feels soft against the skin but also has good recovery – meaning it bounces back into shape after stretching. This is especially important for active beach days or if you're even considering something like a "competitive swimsuit" (though my picks are more for fashion, durability is still key!). Frankie's Bikinis are known for their quality, and you can definitely feel it. Consider if you need quick-drying fabrics for frequent swims or more supportive material for larger busts. Let's talk about styles for different occasions. The pink polka dot bikini is adorable for a playful day, while a red polka dot bikini feels super classic and festive for holidays. And that plaid bikini with crochet details? So unique for standing out! When I'm thinking about a beach bikini for a vacation, I often consider versatility. Can I mix and match the tops and bottoms? Will it hold up to sand and salt water? The blue striped bikini from Bondeye, for example, felt incredibly secure and stylish – perfect for splashing around or just soaking up the sun. Finally, a quick note on swimsuit care. To make your new bikinis last season after season, always rinse them in cool, fresh water immediately after swimming. Avoid wringing them out harshly. Lay them flat to dry in the shade, as direct sunlight can fade colors and damage elastic. This simple routine can significantly extend the life of your gorgeous swimwear. Finding your perfect Spring Bikini inspo is a fun journey. Whether you're eyeing a designer piece or a unique one-size wonder, the goal is to find a swimsuit that makes you feel incredible. Happy shopping for your next beach adventure!
