With Memorial Day Weekend fast approaching, there's only one thing on my mind: swimwear. This weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, which means we'll be living in our swimsuits and cover-ups again in a matter of days—and I for one couldn't be happier. We've already seen some swim trends starting to bubble on the Instagram feeds of our favorite celebs (hello, Burberry bikini), and it's safe to say this summer is poised to be seriously chic.
While I'm thrilled to be pulling out my swimsuits again, I'm also well aware that if I plan on adding any new ones to my wardrobe, I need to act fast, as the best ones are always the first to sell out. So I started my swim shopping early, and as I scanned my go-to retailers, I could spot the future sellouts immediately—call it an editor sixth sense. Whether they touch on a major 2025 trend, an of-the-moment color, or are simply a perfect iteration of a summer classic, these items are sure to go quickly. From the return of nostalgic styles to bead-adorned suits and modern takes on crochet, below are the best swimsuits and cover-ups for summer '25.
