J.Lo's "Cheeky" Bikini Signals a Major 2021 Swimsuit Trend

Image
Jennifer Lopez  at the beach is a sight we'll never tire of. She never fails to turn a sandy, salty, sweaty experience into a very glamorous one. It's impressive, to say the least. A typical  J.Lo beach outfit may include but is not limited to hoop earrings, designer sunglasses, a trendy hat, and perhaps a sheer cover-up. We're bringing this up because Lopez is currently in a beautiful undisclosed beach location and according to her Instagram, her bikini "outfits" are better than ever. Perhaps in an effort to break the internet, Lopez posted a jaw-dropping bikini photo yesterday, and we instantly knew that it would indicate one of 2021's biggest swimwear trends: sparkly bikinis (and one-pieces) that glisten in the sun.

Let's just say I know a thing or two about the hardest-working items in our closets and how to invest in them. Since basics play a crucial role in how you get dressed, I think everyone could afford to pay a little more attention to this often-overlooked area of our wardrobes. They may not be as exciting to shop for as trendier pieces, but they can make or break a good offering and help you avoid the issue of asking yourself why you have nothing to wear . Shopping for really good basics can be tedious, though, if you don't know where to begin. That is why I went ahead and made a list of the ones I'm currently eyeing that are checking all the boxes: They're comfortable, versatile, and, most importantly, timeless. Thanks to  Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale being so vast, I narrowed in on 25 pieces that are not only poised to become pa
