These Are My Favorite Bathing-Suit Outfits on Instagram—Copy Them

If you thought finding good a bathing suit for your trip is hard, wait until you pass that phase and get to the outfit portion of your vacation planning. Sure, you can just throw something over your suit and take it off when you get to the beach, pool, boat, party, etc.—but why miss out on a chance to wear a cool outfit, and better yet, to have a great photo opp?

In my opinion, sometimes the full beach look is better than the bathing suit itself. And if thinking of what to wear makes your head spin, that’s totally valid, but you can forget all your worries because today I’ve got 17 Instagram-tested and editor-approved looks you can simply copy and be on your way. Continue on to see them for yourself and shop some essentials like sandals and sunglasses while you’re at it.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
