A classic black bikini will never go out of style. Andie Swim's Santorini top and Skims' triangle top are two of my most-worn swimwear pieces. The fabric on both suits is buttery soft, doesn't dig into my skin, and has held up well after countless trips and washes. These pieces can be worn with the brands' mid-rise bikini bottoms or paired with other higher or lower cuts. For women looking for some extra support up top, Abercrombie's Curve Love bikini tops are designed for cup sizes D-F. This means plenty of coverage and fabric in all the right places, so you can be as active as you want in the water without worrying about any discomfort.
If you prefer prints and patterns over solid-colored bathing suits, Farm Rio and Billabong have you covered. And for a flattering color-blocking set, turn to Summersalt. With adjustable straps and built-in soft cups for extra coverage, the Marini bikini top is just as comfy as it is chic.
High-waisted bathing suits are one of our go-to styles for active summer trips and leisurely beach days alike. Left on Friday makes some of our favorite suits for swimming and surfing—and we especially appreciate the ultra-high rise bottom that comes up past your belly button, offering plenty of coverage. Styles like the Hi Hi bottom and Hi Tide bottom dry quickly and are snag-resistant. Mix and match any of these high-waisted bottoms with a variety of tops, from bandeau and scoop bras to styles specifically designed for women with bigger chests. The brand's bathing suit tops and bottoms are available in over a dozen fun, bright colors, from neon pink and purple to more subtle shades like periwinkle.
For maximum coverage, consider the crossover bikini bottom from Aerie. The cut of this set looks great on any body type. Bonus: All of Aerie's swimsuits offer

There’s much to consider when selecting a running shoe. Will you be running on the pavement, a treadmill, or a crushed-gravel trail? Is it more important for a shoe to be lightweight for competing or cushioned for comfort and knee relief? Is your gate neutral or does over pronation occur?

Without going on too much of a polemic about it, it must be said that on the beach in the summer of 2024 there is no excuse for you as a man to wear a swimsuit that sits anywhere close to your knee. The five-and-a-half inch inseam is the longest acceptable inseam, and this is not just because giving the world a glimpse of your thigh is cheeky fun—although that’s part of it. The shorter the swimsuit, the taller you look. Board shorts, in addition to being ugly, are unflattering and swallow your silhouette right up with their greedy bulk. In the absence of a baggy shirt to even out the look's proportions, the problem compounds (Remember that, unless you favor rash guards, you will at times find yourself shirtless in your swimsuit. That's the name of the game.)
