1. Proenza Schouler
Loved by urbanites for their cool-kid aesthetic, designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s first swim collection for Proenza Schouler was influenced by the world’s most coveted paradises, from Fiji and the Seychelles to Turks and Caicos. For your next tropical getaway, pack this bright candy-apple-red bikini ($365).

2. Kate Spade New York
Kate Spade New York’s first foray into swimwear is everything you’d expect: high-waisted bottoms, bralette tops, and bedazzled pieces all featuring bow-shaped gold-plated zipper pulls. “I was inspired by the retro swimwear of the 60s—and the idea of bringing glamour back to the beach,” says Chief Creative Officer Deborah Lloyd. Hit up the Hamptons in this striped bralette ($116) and bottom ($89), available soon on katespade.com.
