The end of 2024 is near, and we’re taking the opportunity to look back at all of the moments that made SI Swimsuit so special during our 60th anniversary year. In case you missed it, take a look at SI Swimsuit Wrapped, which summarizes 31 unforgettable moments that took place this year. Before we set our intentions for 2025, we’re throwing it back to the last 365 days and highlighting several special SI Swimsuit moments (in no particular order), including the release of Sports Illustrated’s swimwear line on Amazon.

Many of us may be bundled up this time of year, but there’s never a bad time to snag a new swimsuit. Particularly when that bikini or one-piece made an appearance in this year’s 60th anniversary SI Swimsuit Issue.

One of the many highlights of our year, the fashion team’s selections for the 2024 magazine were trendy, chic and, in many cases, totally wearable IRL. The following pieces may look familiar, as brand stars sported these looks throughout the SI Swimsuit Issue this year. So, if you’re still looking to treat yourself a little this holiday season, take a look at the following suits and get ready to “add to cart.”
