    Just like the barely-there sandals that were on everyone's wishlist last summer, the barely-there concept is ringing true for swimsuits this season. Let me clarify: Details like super slender straps that look like they're about to break off, and swimwear with skin tone-like hues give you that almost "naked" look when you slip into them, are in this summer. And, when it comes down to it: less is more. Plus, the minimalist swimsuits are a totalnod to the '90s. Of course, this barely-there design is on the more risqué side for beach outings and pool parties, and they're not for everyone. However, if you're ready to embrace swimsuits that offer little coverage (and thus less prominent tan lines), we've found the best "naked" bikinis and one-pieces for you ahead.

    Naked swimsuits: Lumière Bikini

    Best Triangle Bikini
    1. Oséree Lumière Bikini
    $188.00 AT MYTHERESA.COM

    Oséree is a brand worn by all of our favorite celebrities, including Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Kourtney Kardashian. This metallic triangle bikini will look amazing on your sun-kissed skin and complement that bronzed glow.

    Naked swimsuits: Open-Back Swimsuit

    Best White One-Piece
    2. Anemone Open-Back Swimsuit
    $250.00 AT MODAOPERANDI.COM

    Looking for a white swimsuit this summer? Try this minimalist one-piece by Anemone. All of the swimsuits in the collection are eco-friendly, sustainable, and built with UV 50+ protection.

    Naked swimsuits: Hinge Swimsuit

    Best Minimalist Swimsuit
    3. Jade Swim Hinge Swimsuit
    $210.00 AT MYTHERESA.COM

    The most "naked" part about this swimsuit is the ultra-low back coupled with the thin straps attached to rings. This swimsuit is made from a quick-drying stretch fabric in a shimmering salmon pink color. Slip this on and swim away!

    Naked swimsuits: Kailyn Top

    Best Bandeau
    4. Frankies Bikinis Kailyn Top
    $90.00 AT FRANKIESBIKINIS.COM

    Yellow is a color that always makes me smile and feel positive, despite my not wearing the hue too often. That'll all change this summer thanks to this '90s-inspired skinny strap bikini. Adding to my cart.

    Naked swimsuits: Savanna Midriff One-Piece Swimsuit

    Best Cut-Out Swimsuit
    5. Tropic of C Savanna Midriff One-Piece Swimsuit
    $150.00 AT OLIVELA.COM

    Candice Swanepoel, the model behind swimwear label Tropic of C, makes the sexiest swimsuits out there. Case in point: This front cutout one-piece swimsuit with the cheekiest bottom.

    Naked swimsuits: Fine Straps One Piece

    Best High Cut Swimsuit
    6. Stella McCartney Fine Straps One Piece
    $335.00 AT NET-A-PORTER.COM

    All the va-va-voom in this swimsuit can be found in the back. If you prefer to stun everyone with your backside, this is the piece to do it in. The slender straps give this one-piece a delicate look.

    Naked swimsuits: Metallic Bikini

    Best Metallic Swimsuit
    7. Les Girls Les Boys Metallic Bikini
    $39.99 AT URBANOUTFITTERS.COM

    Feel like a mermaid in this ocean blue shimmering swimsuit. It's great for those who have a more pared-down wardrobe and don't prefer crazy prints but still want that pop of color. Style with a crochet dress.

    Naked swimsuits: loop knot swimsuit

    Best Black Cut-Out Swimsuit
    8. Dion Lee loop knot swimsuit
    $145.00 AT FARFETCH.COM

    This Dion Lee black bathing suit is anything but boring. You'll find that the one-piece has plenty of trendy details, from the thin spaghetti straps to the middle knot to the sexy plunging neckline and side cutouts.

    Naked swimsuits: Le Maillot Peirado Ombré Bikini

    Best Ombré Bikini
    9. Jacquemus Le Maillot Peirado Ombré Bikini
    $198.00 AT FARFETCH.COM

    The color of this Jacquemus ombré bikini reminds me of seaside sunsets. Pack in your suitcase for your next vacation.

    Naked swimsuits: Fine Straps One Piece

    Best Ribbed Bikini
    10. Sun Becomes Her Radiant Bikini Top
    $108.00 AT SUNBECOMESHER.COM

    This swimsuit is equal parts fun and sexy. The bikini comes in three different colors, though my favorite is the red. You'll look like a fiery siren when you come out of the pool.
