50 Black Swimsuits You Need For Summer

by Jessica Thomas

With summer quickly approaching, it's time to start thinking about warm weather, beaches, and — of course — swimsuits. For me, summer usually means finding at least one cute black swimsuit that I can wear all season long. What can I say? It's the classic I always turn to when I have no idea what I'm looking for and it's also one that I know won't go out of style for summers to come.

In case you haven't noticed, swimwear has totally stepped up its game in the past few years. From the lace-up one pieces I've been seeing everywhere this season to more risqué Brazilian-style swimsuits, there are so many options out there. But in today's world of online shopping, it's almost impossible to narrow down the choices without going down a serious internet rabbit hole. I'm serious — ASOS alone has more than 500 black swimsuits on its site, and that's just one retailer. Luckily, I'm here to narrow down the choices for you. One pieces, two pieces, tankinis...whatever you're looking for, you'll find it on this list.

So, here are 50 chic black swimsuits that are anything but basic. They'll take you from the pool to the beach and everywhere in between this summer.

This one piece has great cutouts, and the bottoms are just a little bit cheeky.
