Everything Else
What to Look for in a Swimsuit
Most Vogue editors consider brand, fit, and style as their starting point. That means considering whether you want a classic, minimalist style, like those Eres is known for, or seeking out bold motifs and vivd colorblock designs à la Pucci and Missoni. From there, we let the fit and silhouette guides us for our beach- and poolside ’fits—choosing from full-coverage one-pieces with cup size variations; size-inclusive styles made from recycled materials, high-quality two-pieces with scoop neck or bandeau tops, or itty bitty string bikinis to be slipped under matching cover-ups or mini dresses.
How to wash or care for a swimsuit
Always read the care instruction—but most brands generally recommend hand-washing on cold water with a mild soap to remove any sunscreen residue. Lay out flat to dry, preferably in shaded area to avoid vibrant prints and colors from fading.
