Today’s post is part of a campaign called “Closet Swap” by Raise.com a new platform where you can buy gift cards to your favorite brands at a discounted price, and sell your unused gift cards for cash! From Forever21 to Kohl’s, they have gift cards to meet all your fashion needs. The campaign is about transitioning our wardrobe into summer attire, and to me nothing screams more summer than swimwear!

Well aware of the complications of finding a suitable piece for summer, every year I make an edit on my favorite pieces for the season, and this year is no exception. In my opinion one should always invest in swimwear. Why? well the importance of quality in intimate garments rises above all, you don’t want cheap material in contact with the most sensitive parts of your body.

This said let’s start talking about all this wonderful pieces!

1, 3 and 4 are Tooshie for A.P.C. Tooshie every year makes a few pieces of swimwear for french brand A.P.C in a sober and feminine line that matches the brand aesthetic to perfection and this year I am completely fascinated by every single one of them. I could not choose between their black one piece with gold stripes, or the blue one piece with white coffee bean print so I added both. I am also fascinated with their white bikini with thin gold stripes in case you are not a fan of one pieces then maybe this one is more suitable for you.

2. Marysia scalloped top one piece: This brand just got on my radar this year and I instantly fell in love with all of their collection. They play a lot with scallops and ruffles that add a different vibe to a standard swimsuit. GET IT HERE.

5 and 6 are J.Crew. I love their printed swimwear pieces, they have a wide range of wild prints and more sober and classic ones like these two. The retro bikini shape is just lovely, perfect for us girls who are not fans of the standard bikinis you find everywhere that show a little too much and can be somewhat tacky. GET THE BIKINI HERE AND ONE PIECE HERE.
