MIKOH Diamond

Perfect for: Rooftop tanning in NYC.
The lowdown: Having been featured countless times in the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, MIKOH is the preferred swimwear brand of supermodels like Irina Shayk and Kate Upton. But the brand's sexy suits aren't just for A-listers. Known for their flattering cuts, supportive straps and full-coverage bottoms, this sports luxe label tailors to us regular-folk, too. We're eyeing this metallic bikini with creative cutouts and a shimmery rubberized finish.
