Turquoise Bikini

What is turquoise in swimwear?

Turquoise is the shade between blue and green — the color of shallow water, and the reason it has been a swimwear staple since the first resort palette. It reads as the beach itself.

This edit runs 7 styles, about $19 to $45, on the cuts the shade suits.

The styles in this edit

• String sets in the classic triangle shape
• Halter tops with the turquoise centered
• Striped versions that run the shade against white
• Ribbed and velvet textures on the same color
• G string back options for the minimal line

Styling turquoise

• White and sand are the natural partners — the beach palette around the water color
• Denim sits well against turquoise. The cool blue in the fabric matches the cool blue-green of the set
• Keep the rest simple. Turquoise is already the color of the outfit, and the accessories should be the frame

Caring for turquoise swimwear

• Bright blue-green fades the way all bright shades fade — rinse after the water and dry in shade
• Rotate between turquoise sets if you have more than one. The one you wear most goes first
• Store away from dark prints. A damp turquoise next to a dark fabric can pick up transfer at the edges
