When it comes to designer beachwear \u2014 including bikinis, beach bags, sarongs, sandals, separates, and more \u2014 I’ve learned over the years that not all brands are created equal. Sure, the price ranges may be similar, but that doesn’t mean they’re worth the same investment. Some labels, including (but not limited to) Saint Laurent, Missoni, Prada and Pucci, etc., have proven to be staying power in this category over time. Year after year, they introduce the latest but timeless designs that you’ll never want to retire…and these are the ones I would recommend purchasing before the others. Below, you’ll find pieces from these brands plus a lot more about their past, present, and future that I love. To see what made the cut, just keep scrolling.<\/p>\n
