13 Swimsuits That Are Basically Graphic Tees For The Beach

June 16, 2016 by Caroline Pirozzolo

We love a good graphic tee. It's a casual, easy piece you can throw on with jeans and a blazer or leather jacket and go - no fuss necessary. This summer, some of our favorite stores and designers are creating the swimsuit equivalent, and we're obsessed. Enter the graphic swimsuit. From cheeky styles from Private Party to a new '80s throwback collab between Urban Outfitters and Body Glove, the graphic swimsuit is everywhere this year. To help you shop the trend and look perfect poolside, we rounded up a few of our favorites.
