Rarely does the prospect of getting into a bikini make us smile, but the new Marc by Marc Jacobs swimwear line is doing just that. The adorable first collection of bathing suits and cover-ups includes several one-piece styles as well as bikini separates to mix and match. Our favorite is a matching two-tone blue bikini with a bandeau top and bright red buckles. The color scheme and attention to detail are classic Marc: young and fun without being too girly or childish. And the bottoms aren't so skimpy that you'll feel exposed. Plus, the strapless top will leave you with a perfect tan line.

Tops and bottoms $85 apiece at Macy’s, 151 W. 34th St., at Broadway; 212-695-4400.
