Summer is here! Well, basically. Even though the season won't officially change until June 20, the weather--and our work ethic--is telling us that summer is already well underway. And we couldn't be happier. Obviously, the first order of business whenever summer rolls around, is making sure you have your new favorite go-to swimsuit on hand. Shopping for bathing suits isn't always easy--or fun--which is why we've gone ahead and done most of the heavy lifting for you. Click through to see the top swimsuit trends this season. We guarantee you'll find a suit that'll suit (ha) you.

Sao Paulo might not be one of the big four fashion cities, but when it comes to swimwear, Brazil is second to none. Brazilians dress for the beach like it's the red carpet--the suits here are just as glitzy and glamorous as evening gowns, only much (much) more revealing (they don't call it the Brazilian wax for nothing). Many labels showed last week at Fashion Rio, and more showed this past week at Sao Paulo fashion week. As one Brazilian fashion writer put it, swimwear is Brazil's haute couture. Here's why. (Also if you need any motivation to go to the gym, this is it.)
