Dominique Piek’s yellow swimsuit consists of a triangle-shaped bikini top where the cups of the top are yellow while the straps are a dark gray. As for the bikini bottom, this garment is all yellow to tie everything together.

This ensemble is a nice go-to for those who don’t want to subscribe to a swimsuit that uses traditional colors, as yellow and grey isn’t a combo one sees often. It’s a swimsuit for those who like to go against the grain and not feel the slightest bit bad about it.

Allie Ayers’s swimsuit, which was spearheaded by her very own mind, proves why strapless bikini tops will always be an effortlessly stunning option. This Bissy Swim two-piece radiates cool girl energy, especially when focusing on the rectangle-shaped cut-out in the middle and the tie string placed at the top.

Choose this bikini for premium relaxation on a beach towel while still exuding that “It Girl” factor. Even when nonchalantly reading a book or resting to get a tan, all anyone will be able to think about is where to cop a yellow swimsuit like this.

Cindy Kimberly’s rookie year photo shoot in Barbados is truly a sight to behold, even to this day, because it holds so many glamorous swimsuits that bikini-lovers couldn’t wait to get their hands on. One swimsuit in particular is this dreamy duo from INDAH, which includes a micro strap doubling as a bikini top and a ruffle bikini bottom with a lettuce hem.

Tap into an attire like this if warmer weather equals cheekier clothing. After all, with how hot it can get, the only thing on anyone’s mind should be where they can get some cool air, not if their outfit is head-turning enough.

Underwire bralettes don’t get the love they deserve—but on someone as serene as Yumi Nu, a comeback is required as soon as possible. And if this style does become a trend again, there’s no better place to start than with a mustard yellow swimsuit like this one from Matte Collection.

Nostalgia can be transformed into clothing, so if a beachwear enthusiast is looking for something that is remnant of trends that have come and gone, this may be the answer.
