All of those Soul Cycle classes and Jugo Fresh juices have paid off; now it’s time to show off that tight, toned and cleansed body on the beach or by the pool. And being the stylish fashion plate that you are, you wouldn’t be caught dead in last year’s swim looks! Here’s a sampling of some must-have beach-bound offerings at Bal Harbour.

First stop, Intermix. We love this bright red bandeau bikini from Zimmerman. The floral motif ruffle adds just the right amount of feminine flair to this otherwise classic two-piece. Topped with a Hat Attack hat with contrasting lime-green trim and a pair of Kors by Michael Kors (an Intermix exclusive) silver leather sandals and you’ve got your look down!

This draped one-piece swimsuit from Lanvin is just the piece to take you from ocean-side to bar-side in no time at all. Slip on a maxi skirt and a pair of wedges and you’re effortlessly chic, with just the right amount of beach wave in your hair.

It’ll be the Summer of Love when you’re wearing one of Trina Turk’s groovy patterned bikinis.  Go print on print when paired with a matching tunic. Or tone down the love fest by mixing and matching with a solid two-piece. Slip on the oversized shades and hop on your beach cruiser.

La Perla has just opened its new store in time to stock its shelves with super sexy swimwear for the summer. This sweet lilac bandeau-top two-piece has a removable neck tie for more even tanning and low-riding bottoms that tie at the hip. Plus, this month only, La Perla is giving away beach totes with every swim purchase.

Nothing says resort holiday like a pair of Vilebrequin trunks. And with patterns and colors like these, it’s hard to choose just one. We have to admit, though, we’re partial to the Poulpe and Anemone this summer.

If you’re all about channeling Bridget Bardot, boho-chic this summer, Calypso St. Barth is the place. Light-weight linen scarf? Check. Summery fedora? Check. Fringed, crocheted vest? Check, check!

If summer hasn’t already gotten your temperature rising, the Mazzy swimsuits from Agent Provocateur certainly will. While it may technically be a one-piece, this is a far cry from your traditional swimsuit. We’re big on the color-blocking trend picked up here and cutouts in just the right places.
