Chances are that you probably think of a swimsuit as something that you wear to go swimming in, and that’s it. Perhaps you wear a cute cover-up over it while walking around the beach/pool area, but, unless you live in a warm area where beach-going is a daily activity (lucky!), you probably don’t consider your swimsuit to be a clothing item that can be incorporated into your summer look.

But, with the huge variety of swimsuit styles out there nowadays that so closely mirror what’s going on in the rest of the fashion world, perhaps we should start thinking of swimwear as something that can be worn beyond the beach (or pool).

Swimsuit Outfit #1: Edgy

When you think of a black one-piece swimsuit, words like “simple” and “classic” usually come to mind. However, that certainly isn’t the case with this sleek cutout number, which is at the center of this edgy, all-black, ’90s-inspired look!

Layer a pair of faux-leather detail athletic-style shorts over the swimsuit for a modern sporty vibe. This combination would look amazing on its own, but if you would like some more coverage up top, add a cropped mesh top over the swimsuit as well.

These flatform strappy sandals are perfect for achieving that on-trend ugly-cool look, while an Adidas logo baseball cap and round sunglasses ensure that your face is protected from the sun.
