What: A July 4-appropriate bathing suit that amps up the sex appeal with side and back cutouts and an adjustable front zipper.
Why: We love that it’s festive without being campy, and the fact that it’s comfortable and provides coverage doesn’t detract at all from its playfulness.
How: Wear it under a pair of perfect denim cutoffs when going to and fro the pool this weekend, and add a pair of chic white sandals for extra festiveness.
