Simplify Your Swim: Essentials for a Capsule Bikini Wardrobe

In past summers, I've always had a blast picking out vibrant, trendy bikinis for spring break. I'd snap them up in bulk, wear them a couple of times, and then they'd end up forgotten at the bottom of my dresser. Over time, this has led to a massive, barely-touched collection of swimwear. This year, though, I'm shaking things up by opting for a capsule bikini wardrobe. If you're not familiar with the concept, think of a capsule wardrobe as your own curated collection of versatile pieces that can mix and match to create a plethora of outfits for different occasions. Nordstrom describes it as “a minimalist collection of clothes that can be put together in different ways to cover a variety of outfits and occasions,” and it's a perfect strategy for swimwear, too. This summer, instead of chasing every new bikini trend, I'm focusing on quality and fit. I'm looking for pieces that feel great, last long, and stay stylish season after season. It's not about spending more; it's about choosing wisely. Picking swimwear that not only looks fabulous but also feels so right you'll want to wear it for years to come. This approach isn't just a win for your closet; it's a triumph for timeless summer style! Here are just a few examples of fits, colors, and styles that I have been loving on me. Happy sunbathing!
