With Memorial Day behind us summer has officially begun, and with it, our favorite past-time ever: trying to find a new bathing suit! Yes, there is nothing us gals like more than squeezing our not-yet-tan body into swimsuits in front of those always flattering fitting room mirrors. Under florescent lights, of course. And to get you even more excited, here is a bunch of perfectly beautiful and thin models rocking the latest swimwear styles down the runway:

In all seriousness, swimsuit shopping isn’t much fun. But as the above images illustrate, there are so many options out there these days that it is much easier to find a cute bikini or one-piece that works on your body. I suggest buying a few great styles online and trying them on in the comfort, and natural lighting, of your own home. You can return the ones you don’t like and keep the ones you do. Just be sure to read the return policies carefully.

An adorable bandeau bikini from Shoshanna and Carmen Marc Valvo twisted one piece are great pieces to start with:
