Let’s kick it off with yours truly… Marsha B.
1) Boohoo’s Seychelles Cut-out Hip Open Back Swimsuit, $35
Because I’m probably about 75% bikini ready, the Seychelles cut-out hip and open back swimsuit is perfect for shielding those undesirable areas.
2) Mara Hoffman’s Rashguard Surf Suit, $278
You can’t talk swimwear without mentioning Mara Hoffman! The designer has a thing for intricate designs and patterns and I’m here for it! Make a bold statement with her colorful surfsuit.
3) For Love & Lemons’ Barcelona Bikini, Top- $124, Bottom- $104
Boudoir inspired swimwear? Yes please! Not sure if I’m brave enough to pull this off but I admire the woman who can!
Passing the baton to Esmesha…
4) Boohoo’s Cutout Strappy Swimsuit, $35
Esmesha’s first pick comes from Boohoo.com. She states, “Never underestimate the power of a one-piece! With trendy cutouts (in strategic ares) and a sultry design, this pick is perfect for your upcoming pool soireés!”
5) Kendall and Kylie for Topshop Animal Print Bikini, Top $48, Bottom $35

Thanks E!
Moving on to Ashley…
7) Asherah Swimwear Revolve Bikini, $99
8) Nasty Gal Down For You Swimsuit, $78
Ashley picked her must-have swimsuits based on her body type. She stated, “These two swimsuits were chosen because of my fitness frame. I workout and train to compete in bikini competitions which call for a defined but curvaceous figure ( think #fitThick). This also means that because of my low body fat percentage I have to find bikini options that flatter my moderately sized rack. The first option is a show-piece for the body that I’ve worked hard to build, while the second option more resembles a top I’d wear to the gym. It’s a suit that is comfortable with the sex appeal of side-boob, since I don’t have much cleavage.” Get into her choices from Asherah Swimwear and Nasty Gal.
On to Jamé!
9) MissGuidedUS’ ABAD x Missguided Halter Neck Maxi Beach Dress, $56
Jamé went for something a different! “I love this swimsuit set because it sports sex appeal WHILE offering a bit of cover up. I’m not always 100% willing to show off all the goodies, so this is a great in between for those days.”
10) MissguidedUS High Square Neck Bikini Top Purple Mix & Match, $24
“Okay…I’m a definite high waist kind of gal. This set is super cute and the high waist feature helps for all of us with a little tummy going on. Plus this pink/lavender shade is totally cute.” I feel you Jamé, I’m a sucker for a cute high waist suit as well!
11) MissguidedUS High Leg Drop Side Swimsuit, $24
“So I’m definitely a classic woman for this. There is NOTHING I love more than a great red swimsuit. Low-cut, cut out back, sexy and covered. Who said one pieces can’t be sexy?” This is giving me, throwback Bay Watch vibes. Hot!
Up next, Danielle!
12) Asos Eyelet Lace-Up Bikini, Top $36, Bottom $33
Danielle is completely into the Lace-up trend which is the reason for her choice. Definitely on trend with a hint of sexy!
13) House of CB Maryska Orange Bandage Halter Bikini, $105
Danielle’s last pick is from House of CB. Shes drawn to this suit because, “the vibrant color gives me south beach Miami vibes.”
Cute!
14) MissguidedUS Strappy Crossback Bikini Set, $40
The Missguided US Strappy Crossback bikini is a popular choice among the Fashion Bomb Staff. Both Gisselle and Danielle went for this piece with Danielle citing the subtle lace detail as her favorite part of the suit while Gisselle felt you should, “Dare to bare — just a tad!”
Speaking of Gisselle…
15) Kate Spade Georgica Beach Stripes Bandeau Maillot, $128
“Get saucy in this statement stripe swimsuit with removable straps and a deep scoop back. I’ll rock this look with a bold red pout for a full on vintage vibe. Love!” A vintage inspired suit is always great to have. You can build a whole wardrobe theme around your suit.

On to Faith.
17) Peixoto Flamingo Swimsuit, $110
“I’m all about the one-piece! A deep v-neck, low back, and cheeky bottom are the ways I like to show skin with my swimsuits as an all-in-one is typically pretty covered. And it’s either bold color or no color: once that tan kicks in, neon looks amazing on glowing skin!” Talk about subtly sexy!
18) Karla Colletto Elle One Piece Swimsuit, $207
Looks like Faith has a thing for bold colors! “Another bright one-piece! You can never go wrong with styles like this because they’re simple and can last in your wardrobe forever if they’re great quality.”
19) Topshop Plunging Mesh Inset One-Piece Swimsuit, $40
“Are you sensing a trend here? The mesh on this swimsuit gives it a bit of a sporty vibe, which I love,” says Faith. You can never go wrong with a black suit and a plunging neckline!
