Whether you’re an OG Baywatch fan, love the lifeguard look or simply know the shade suits your skin tone, red swimwear is almost always a good idea. Breaking up the sea of black and white styles, they will see that you stand out from the crowd and comes in a whole host of styles from classic cuts to more modern designs.
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite finds, from bikinis to swimming costumes, to suit a wide range of styles and body shapes to see you get off to a good start. Just don’t take the lifeguarding role too seriously if you’re still yet to get your sea legs.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by us. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, we may earn a commission.
