Colorblocking On The Sand

Q. Jordan,

You always do a great job helping folks find what they’re looking for – perhaps even more than what they’re looking for. Well, I’ve been eyeing this VPL “Caged” bikini for quite some time…but I was wondering if you could help me find some more reasonably priced alternatives.

Thanks,

Sara

A. Cute suit! For years, I sat firmly in the string-bikini-or-bust camp, thinking that suits with a more generous cut couldn’t possibly be flattering…until I discovered that I was…well…wrong. Now, these are the kinds of swimsuits I’m into. And these.

The VPL suit that you like (pictured above) is great both because of that slightly more covered-up cut, and because of that gorgeous structural colorblocking…

So let’s find some alternatives! I think the brown-and-pink DKNY pictured at the lower center is the closest match to the one you like, but might as well throw in a few littler suits for those of you who prefer a little extra skin with your surf, and some stunning-on-the-sand accessories, to boot.

Product info after the jump.
