Don't put away your bikini or one-piece just yet.

Labor Day weekend may mark the end of the summer, but it doesn't have to be the end of your summer wardrobe. Over the past few months, especially, we've seen the fashion crowd propose ingenious ways to stretch the lifespan of your swimwear, beyond the old styling-your-one-piece-as-a-bodysuit trick. (Though, that one never fails.)

At Copenhagen Fashion Week, we saw incredibly chic show-goers wear their boxy suiting over string bikinis and pair their long skirts with minimal bandeaus. On Instagram, many have embraced the return of low-rise jeans, pairing theirs with fitted athletic crop tops, which have also been trending in the swim market. All of these styling tricks have us inspired — and itching to get at least a few more weeks out of our summer swimsuits, even if we don't have any beach days on the horizon. 

Ahead, we've styled out six of our go-to swim silhouettes — from the high-waisted bikini to the metallic one-piece — into full outfits you'll want to wear well past Labor Day. See and shop them all, below.

Every year, when summer starts rolling in we're always dying to go on a swimsuit shopping spree. Something about buying bikinis and one-pieces is just so exciting--it tricks us into thinking we'll be spending the summer on the beach instead of in the office. That being said, since most of us won't actually be beachside most of the season, it doesn't really make sense to spend a fortune on a swimsuit. So, we've put together the ultimate trend-focused swim shopping guide--all under $100.

From printed bandeau bikini tops to color-blocked one-pieces.

The hip-bone-baring style is back and it's better than ever.
