Cut-out swimsuits are made for those out there who love to embrace their wild side. Cut-outs make a statement without saying much, so if there’s ever a desire to let an outfit do all the talking when strutting on the beach, this style is an ideal pick.

This particular look, pictured above, takes extravagance to a whole new level, as the cut-outs come together to create a distinct and elaborate pattern in the center. This is definitely a look for the artists and creatives out there.

Thomas’s cut-out one-piece complemented her beauty, sun-kissed skin and toned physique all in one go. Talk about knocking out three birds with one stone.

Additionally, a shimmery swimsuit is another beachwear staple. Thomas’s gleaming ensemble, pictured above, is a surefire way to get some head turns. A bold and brilliant bathing suit is a superb recommendation for those who enjoy dressing up to the nines, no matter the setting.

Such a shimmery suit is extra stunning in front of soothing blue waters, and stands out in the midst of such an ethereal backdrop. Even if you’re not taking a dip in the ocean, and tanning on the warm, golden sands instead, this suit will sparkle so long as the sun is shining in the sky.

Alongside these fine choices, neutral swimsuits are also an incredibly chic choice. Who says muted colors are boring? Thomas's swimsuit proves this is not the case.

Those likely to gravitate toward a sleek and slender shape like this are those who don’t want their swimsuits to interrupt their beach activities. After all, those waves aren’t going to surf themselves, and sometimes, beachgoers need something that’s going to stay in place while giving them those beach babe vibes they desire.
