Swimsuit Experts Share Their Right-Now Favorites
Every July, the best swimwear brands from all over the world unite in Miami to debut their new collections and share with us the best of the beach and resort lifestyle. Buyers, editors, models and celebrities travel down to South Beach to attend runway shows and after parties. This year Glamour teamed up with PR firm Bollare (which works with some of the best swim brands) to create a relaxation hub at The 1 Hotel in South Beach. Swim designers and influencers were invited to stop by the #BollarexGlamour hub, where they could grab an Acai bowl or coconut for the road, get hair and make up touch ups between shows, or pick up some fun (and free!) swimwear or resort pieces to change into for their next event. (Gotta say, Bollare are pros at curating a super-relaxing space!) During their visits, we asked a few of our favorite bloggers and other stylish friends to share their best swimwear tips for this summer. Here’s what they had to say…

“If you are looking to add a bandeau top to your bikini draw, be sure that it has a removable strap so you don't lose it in the pool or ocean!” Here, Oakley wears a swimsuit by Monday Swimwear.

“Having a large cup size and a small bust can mean that it's very hard to find a supportive and comfortable bikini top. I always wear tops that are fully adjustable on the neck and back, so I can customize them to my body.” Here, Brugman wears a swimsuit by Monday Swimwear

"I'm loving one-piece suits this summer. They are sophisticated, functional, and an easy transition as a bodysuit postbeach sesh.”

"When buying a swimsuit, confidence is key! For me, my go to is usually a classic triangle bikini. But whatever makes you feel like the best version of yourself is what you should go with."
