This White Hot, Swim-Ready Bikini Set From Miharo: $117+

With so many options out there for swimwear these days, finding the perfect set can seem harder than swimming against the current. Forget the floaties, though, because you can count on luxury brand Miharo for all your beach and pool outfit needs. Made with ultra-soft, high-quality fabrics that keep you comfortable while looking great, Miharo's pieces are an absolute must on your spring break packing list. While there are plenty of styles to choose from, we recommend the Shea bottoms for their flexible, swim-ready coverage as a jumping-off point. From there, choose from a variety of tops to match to create a look that's so good you won't want to take it off.

This Gorgeous Vitality One Piece For When You Want to Switch Things Up: $84

Not everyone feels as comfortable in a bikini on the beach, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style for the sake of comfort. Your favorite athleisure brand, Vitality, came through this season with a new batch of spring break-ready swimwear, including some of the most gorgeous one-pieces we've ever seen. The versatile fit, on-trend cutouts and one-shoulder design make the Tropica Asym an essential item in your travel bag this spring break and beyond (the beautiful blue color is just a bonus, of course). If you aren't a fan of cutouts but still want to create a striking look at the beach or pool this spring break without giving up some coverage, try this one piece from Cartolina, $178, which also comes in a beautiful blue color.

Their Impeccable Skin foundation is a must for your makeup bag this spring break, but you'll also want to stock up on their other SPF products for a flawless finish to your morning routine.
