Strappy swimsuits were spotted all over SI Swimsuit’s latest issue and runway show, with models such as Jasmine Sanders and Cameron Brink sporting the style in their in-print features and Olivia Dunne and Alix Earle showcasing the striking silhouette at W South Beach in Miami just weeks after the magazine hit newsstands in mid-May.

And the dynamic swimwear design was just as popular one year prior, when SI Swimsuit celebrated its 60th Anniversary edition alongside its latest group of brand legends. Check out some of the awe-inspiring images from the fold featuring these strappy seaside looks.
