Alert: 2019 will be the summer of pool parties. Maybe you've already booked a trip to Vegas to partake in the beach club festivities, or, if you're me, plan to stay local and rent a house somewhere out of the city that has a pool so you can throw a soirée with friends. But once you've decided on your plans—see you in the Hamptons?—you'll need to pack some outfits. Swimsuits are all but a given, but what do you wear on top? If you need ideas, a.k.a. some outfit inspo, I have planned out all your looks, and by default, mine, below. Show up to your pool party all dressed up and get ready to eat, drink, and schmooze.

The Sarong Outfit
If your favorite black sarong needs a little pick-me-up this season, style it with a sequined bikini. The glittery two piece will definitely stand out at the party, but won't look totally out of place thanks to the black cover-up. (We love this one from Melissa Odabash, which has pom-pom edges.) A wide brim hat and sunglasses add to your "yes, I look ahmazing vibe," while cute leather sandals and bag keep your fashionista game on point.
Shop the pieces: 1. Oseree sequined bikini, $295; 2. Siraleah straw hat, $35; 3. Gentle Monster x Fendi sunglasses, $430; 4. Melissa Odabash sarong, $123; 5. Zara crossover sandals, $46; 6. Topshop rope bag, $52

The Two-Piece Set Outfit
There's an expectation that if you're attending a pool party, you'll actually wade into the pool. But if today is not that day, totally fine. Lounge on a chair is this comfy two-piece set that gives the ultimate resort vibes with your drink in hand. A pineapple tote and espadrille heels keep the outfit fun and light. Do stash a swimsuit in your bag JIC you change your mind about taking a quick dip, though. (Peer pressure, I know.)
Shop the pieces: 1. Jade Swim black one-piece swimsuit, $220; 2. Cult Gaia striped button-down, $320; 3. Cult Gaia midi skirt, $523; 4. Lack of Color straw hat, $182; 5. Jeff Wan pineapple tote, $88; 6. Dolce Vita espadrille wedge, $120
