Packing swimwear for a beach vacation seems
simple until you're standing in front of your
suitcase wondering if you packed enough — or
too much. Here's everything you need to know
about building the perfect vacation swimwear
collection.
How many swimsuits do you actually need?
The honest answer is two to three. One for
every day rotation while the others dry.
More than three and you're wasting precious
suitcase space on pieces you'll never wear.
Choose versatile colorways
Classic colors — black, white, navy and
neutrals — photograph beautifully against
every backdrop and work with every cover-up
and accessory you pack. Bold prints are fun
but limit your styling options. A classic
black bikini and a bold printed set gives
you the best of both worlds.
The triangle bikini — timeless for a reason
The classic triangle bikini has been the
definitive beach look for decades because
it works. The adjustable ties mean it fits
every body type perfectly and the minimal
coverage maximizes your tan. If you only
pack one swimsuit make it a triangle bikini
in a classic color.
The bandeau — for those who prefer strapless
A bandeau bikini is your most elegant
swimwear option. No shoulder straps means
no tan lines and no interruptions in your
silhouette. Modern bandeau styles with
chest pad support are comfortable enough
for swimming and stylish enough for beach
clubs and pool parties.
The high waist option
High waist bikini bottoms are having a
well-deserved moment. They provide more
coverage, elongate your silhouette, and
pair beautifully with simple triangle or
bandeau tops. If you're self-conscious
about your midsection a high waist bottom
gives you confidence without sacrificing
style.
Don't forget a cover-up
The best beach outfits aren't just the
swimsuit — they're the complete look from
the sun lounger to the beach café. A
lightweight kimono, a chiffon cover-up,
or a linen shirt transforms any swimsuit
into a complete outfit in seconds.
The one thing most women forget to pack
A sun hat. Nothing completes a beach look
like a wide brim straw hat — it provides
sun protection, elevates any swimsuit
instantly, and photographs beautifully.
It takes up almost no space in your
suitcase and makes every beach photo
look intentional.
