Cover to Cover: Beach Reads and the Swimsuits to Match

SPRWMN Swim Top and Bottom

One of my resolutions this year was to make more time to read, but during the colder months, it never seemed to work itself into the schedule. On our trip to Mexico, it finally clicked. A chapter by the pool while the girls swam, a few pages at the airport, another stretch on a lounge chair at the beach, and suddenly I’d breezed through a book that had been sitting on my nightstand longer than I’d like to admit.

Below, I’ve rounded up a few recent reads I couldn’t put down alongside a few at the top of my list to start next, each matched with the swim I think it deserves. Sometimes the cover inspired the suit. Other times it just felt like a glamorous match. A striped bikini with a flirty beach read, a classic one-piece with a memoir, a floral maillot with something more romantic. It makes reading feel less like something to fit in and more like something to dress for.
