31 Swimsuits Worth Squeezing Into Your Carry-On for the Fourth of July

I can't believe I'm already planning for the Fourth of July, but here we are. This holiday weekend is almost like the Olympics for my swimsuit collection—I make sure the best players are out and about no matter what it is that I have planned. Whether you're planning to lounge by the pool, hit the beach, or enjoy a lakeside barbecue, finding a swimsuit that combines style, comfort, and practicality is key, especially if you're preparing for a family-friendly gathering.

Call me predictable, but I can't help myself but gravitate toward anything red, white, or blue this time of year. What makes it feel less tacky is when you choose one of those colors and run with it rather than trying to create a perfectly curated look. With the swimsuits chosen by none other than me, you'll be ready to celebrate the long weekend in style.

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
