Summer ’17 swim lewks that won’t leave you with horrid tan lines
Swimwear is in a crazy place right now.
On one hand, it’s awesome that we have so many options for swimsuits this summer. On the other hand, so many new swim silhouette trends are unflattering, impractical, and will leave absolutely horrendous tan lines.
But, there’s a way to show that you’re up to date on this season’s swim lewks without risking the Instagram model equivalent of a farmer’s tan. Here are some suits that incorporate summer ’17 trends with more classic – and skimpy silhouettes that will give all your bits an even tan line.
