The cut-out trend is here to stay this summer. Made for the fun-loving ones, a well-placed cut-out swimsuit adds a touch of playfulness and elevates your silhouette.

Wraparound tie bikini top
What’s not to love about this wraparound tie trend that is equal parts fun and sexy? The slim, wraparound ties that knot at the sides draw attention to your waist and spices up our basic triangle bikinis.
