You might find it hard to believe, but I only have two bikinis—here’s what I’m planning to purchase to expand my swimwear collection…

      As an East Coaster, I've taken my bikini minimalism to an extreme: I have just two—one black and one red. Recently, I spoke with a couple of people from Florida about what it was like growing up with access to the beach all year round. Naturally, I inquired, "How many swimsuits do you own?" They both looked at me as if I had asked the strangest question possible. "Too many to count," responded one. "Drawers and drawers full," the other one added. I chuckled and replied (very seriously), "I only own two bikinis." They were shocked.

      The truth is, I can't entirely attribute my lack of swimsuits to being from New England. People there still spend their summers "down the Cape," or in Martha's Vineyard or Maine. And even now, living in New York, I always begin each summer with the ambitious goal of going to the beach every weekend—but I quickly lose motivation after making the trek to Jacob Riis twice.

      This year, for the first (very late) time in my life, I've decided to stop idealizing the notion of a swimwear collection and actually start assembling one. Here’s what’s in my cart so far, along with some other items I discovered during my search.

      **In My Cart**

      - **PRISCAVera Lace Blossom Triangle Bikini Top**

       I'm fond of this Priscavera bikini.

      - **PRISCAVera Lace Blossom Swim Shorts**

       I'm increasingly leaning towards swim shorts.

      - **Baserange Ponte Swim Body**

       I usually don't wear one-pieces, but this unique one from Baserange caught my attention. I tried it on recently and fell in love.

      - **Mare Perpetua Sustainable Swimwear Set**

       This set from Mare Perpetua has been on my wishlist for ages.

      - **PINK by Frankies Bikinis Hudson Bikini Top**

       The cap sleeves on this are adorable.

      - **PINK by Frankies Bikinis Hudson Cheeky Bikini Bottom**

       I genuinely can’t resist Frankies Bikinis.

      - **PINK by Frankies Bikinis Maya Halter Bikini Top**

      - **Paolina Russo Halter Tankini Top**

       This swimsuit from Paolina Russo seems like a fun option to add to my collection.

      - **Paolina Russo Side Tie Bikini Bottom**

      - **Miaou Black Nicola Bikini Top**

       Miaou's bikinis are always amazing.

      - **Miaou Black Nicola Bikini Bottom**

       I'm interested in pieces that, despite being more minimal, still have unique details.

      - **Gimaguas White Pipa Bikini Top**

       I’ll take anything from Gimaguas.

      - **Gimaguas White Pipa Bikini Bottom**

      - **With Jéan Juni Bikini Top**

       I’ll always have a fondness for polka dots—trending or not.

      - **With Jéan Blake Swim Shorts**

       I saw someone wearing these on TikTok and instantly knew I had to have them.

      **Shop More Swimwear**

      - **PUCCI Iride-Print Bikini Top**

       If I could manage to spend $375 on a bikini, it would definitely be one from Pucci.

      - **PUCCI Iride-Print Bikini Briefs**

      - **Fruity Booty Marina Bikini Top**

      - **Fruity Booty Marina Knickerbockers**

      - **MANGO Bikini Top With Contrasting Trim**

      - **MANGO Bikini Bottom With Contrasting Trims**

      - **Metallic One-Shoulder Swimsuit**

      - **Maryam Nassir Zadeh Bisou Skirt**

       I absolutely love swim skirts.

      - **Los Angeles Apparel Crinkle Squareneck Bikini Top**

       Seersucker from Los Angeles Apparel…

      - **Los Angeles Apparel Crinkle Hot Shorts**

       …with matching hot shorts.

      - **Rivage Swimwear Dakota Maritime**

       As someone who lives in skirts and dresses, I was excited to discover a concept that’s new to me: a swim dress.

      - **Hunga G Swim Skirt**

      - **MANGO Halter Bikini Top With Buckle Detail**

       Another win from Mango.

      - **MANGO Bikini Bottoms With Buckle Detail**

       This showcases how a small design element like a buckle can make a significant difference.

      - **Monday Swimwear Seychelles Bottom**

      - **Skims Signature Swim Cami Top**

       Naturally, I have to include Skims.

      - **Skims Signature Swim Tanga Bikini Bottom**

       They’re unbeatable for basics.

      - **Skims Signature Swim Triangle Bikini Top**

       A classic triangle top option.

      - **Paloma Wool Velvet Trim Bikini**

       Paloma Wool always gets it right.

      - **With Jéan Jeanie Bikini Top**
