Tibi or Not Tibi?

Tibi Swimwear

You spent New Year’s Day vomiting up New Year’s Eve. (There isn’t even a rhyme for liquor before champagne.)

Don’t let the hangover go to waste. Put your new bod in a new suit.

Tibi, the designer known for retro dresses, has lent her signature prints to a new collection of swimwear. The suits, which debuted at Miami Swim Week, have finally hit boutiques. And the colorful styles stand out in a sea of solids.

Abstract prints decorate the classic string bikini (orange leaves on a splatter of purple and lavender; geometric shapes in blue, lime, and gray). There’s also a bandeau top complete with bow.

Along with the bathing suits is a charming collection of cover-ups. Our pick: the scoop-neck tunic. The sheer fabric comes in pink or blue. You’ll covet both.

Go ahead. Binge.
