It used to be that one-piece bathing suits were so boring and blah that you felt like your Mom’s mom wearing one (no offense, Grandma). But these days, designers have really stepped it up and now there are so many choices, it’s hard to pick just one (or two, or three) for the season. We’ve narrowed down the field, curating our favorite 40 darling one-piece bathing suits for your swimming (or sun-soaking) pleasure in the first annual BussBuss Swimsuit Edition (why should Sports Illustrated have all the fun?). From glamorous to retro, chic to sweet, there’s sure to be a suit to make you feel as gorgeous as you are, half-naked and all (because half-naked is never the time to skimp on fit and style).

If you’re anything like us, you probably put the pro in procrastinate.
But given that’s it already June (how the hizzy did that happen?), it’s time to get our beach essentials squared away.
Chances are, you’ve scored a new swimsuit — or five– by now, but what about your trusty cover-up and topper?
Let’s all take a collective moment to get our shiznit together. After all, our skin and social lives depend on it.
After some carpel tunnel-inducing clicking, we found the cutest beach cover-ups (think Mrs. Roper in St. Tropez) and hats for pretty reasonable prices at our old stylish standby Anthropologie.

Finding a cute and chic one-piece bathing suit that doesn’t cost $500 is a challenge these days — which is beyond ridic.
Which is why we were so happy to see Delia’s latest swimsuit offerings. All around $50 or less, if you’re looking for cute, youthful styles without breaking the bank, we’ve found them here.
Our more petite editors in the office were happy to see many swimsuits with removable soft cups, which add a little more shape on top – we think all suits should have them so we don’t have to suffer yet another summer of Nipplegate.
Sizes run true to size and are also available in longer torso, so those with both Rachel Bilson and Mischa Barton bods should be satisfied.
