As far as swimwear trends go, the revival of the classic one-piece costume is one we can get behind. You needn't worry about your "beach body" for swimsuit season because "beach bodies" are, well, every body, and you deserve swimwear that looks good, fits well and makes you feel your best. And what better option than a stylishly understated monochrome swimsuit?

2. The Maxi Dress

You probably fell for the "midaxi" dress last summer before you even knew it had a name, but this year the maxi reigns supreme. The universally flattering, ankle-grazing length with a relaxed, slouchy fit makes this bardot dress ideal as a cover-up when the sun sets.

3. The Printed Short-Sleeved Shirt

Linen is a hot-weather hero for a reason. It doesn't get easier than this light, airy fabric when the humidity hits, and a pair of linen trousers deserves a spot in your suitcase.
