Summertime is upon us—time to suit up in the hottest swimsuit styles! Here to help, contributing editor for Life & Style Magazine and Lands’ End Style Expert, Rachel Zalis!

What are some hot swim suit trends this summer and how do we know what works for our shape or not?

Two of my favorite trends are the slenderizing swimsuit and the retro glam. The slenderizing suit from the Lands’ End Shapewear collection has technology in the fabric that smoothes, lifts, shapes and controls different problem areas: like your tummy for all-over control…amazing!

And don't be afraid to mix and match! It's another huge trend and a great way to save money. The Beach Living Separates Collection comes in a ton of shapes, styles, colors and prints—like stripes, mini dots, and bold solids. Totally hot this season and just very fresh.

If you're more into the athletic look, the AquaTerra Perfect Performance collection is great.  It has special features such as stay-in-place back straps, cinch gathers and sewn in soft cups.
