Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons. Nothing makes me happier than sunshine, and now that I have a pool in my backyard, I’m happy to soak up the sun and really make the most of summer.

Recent swimwear designs let you mix and match to get the best bang for your buck—almost all the suit separates at Athleta could go together, for example, and Forever 21 has an entire collection of mix-and-match styles for $4.90 apiece. Need more inspiration? Here are a few of our favorites.

The Angel Convertible swim top; $33–$37.50 at Victoria’s Secret

This convertible piece can become a classic, halter, or crossback top. Plus, if you buy online now through June 25, you’ll get a coupon for $10 off a future $30+ online purchase in the package.

Beach Twist Bandeau Tankini Top; $44.50 at LOFT

Tankinis more your style? We love the twist detail on this top, which has a removable halter strap to mix up the look.

Wildfox Goldfish-Print Cutout One-Piece Swimsuit; on sale for $47.99 at Saks OFF 5TH

Add a little whimsy to your beach trips with this fun print. (And right now, Saks OFF 5TH is discounting Wildfox styles by up to 60%.)
