We have come to terms with the fact that the end of summer is right around the corner. Thus, we’re trying to schedule in as many pool and beach days as we can and stock up on adorable summer suits for our next tropical vacation.

And, while the sun is still out, you best believe we’re trying to naturally catch a bronzed tan every day the UV is above a 5—whether we’re on the balcony, in the backyard or (ideally) by the water.

While sometimes tan lines can be cute in a backless dress or under a strappy tank top, we’ve found a series of swimsuits that make for the most minimalist, delicate lines. Or, better yet, if you’ve got a wedding or formal event coming up, catch a tan in a bandeau suit so your neck, chest, collarbones and décolleté get a beautiful, sun-kissed glow without the distraction of an asymmetrical tan line.

Below are nine suits to tastefully avoid tan lines this summer.
