31 Cool White Swimsuits To Go With Your (Hopefully Faux) Summer Tan
Summer is coming, and it's time to pull out all of your old swimsuits from last season to evaluate. There's the boring black one-piece for beach days with relatives, the flirty floral bikinis, the blindingly bright neon bikinis that are insanely popular right now, and maybe a retro polka-dot piece. But wait! Pop quiz: What color is missing from your swimsuit collection?
The answer is white. It's such an obvious choice that many tend to overlook it when shopping for swimwear. White swimsuits are anything but boring, however. They're fresh, summery, and best of all, they're ideal for showing off your (hopefully fake!) tan. Read on for our roundup of this summer's hottest and most exciting white swimsuits, starting at only $5!
