Already booked a sunny vacation only to realize you're underwhelmed by your current swimwear situation? Not to worry — come May, you'll be able to scoop up ultra chic suits from LNA's swim collection to pack for all your summer travels. Yes, the brand that's known for serving up effortless, west coast styles is releasing its first ever range of swim and it's definitely worthy of a spot in your suitcase.

Launched in 2007 by California natives Lauren Alexander and April Leight, this collection is LNA's first foray into swimwear and it feels like a natural progression for the LA-based brand. The range will include a mix of bikinis, one-pieces, cover-ups, and scrunchies (perfect for pulling your hair back on those breezy beach days) in both solids and on-trend animal prints. And given LNA has cultivated a fan base of both fashion girls and famous faces, there's no doubt these pieces are going to be popping up all over Instagram in no time.

So, what can you expect to see? If you're after mix-and-match bikini sets, you'll find several bottom shapes to pair with a range of bikini top silhouettes that include string and underwire styles, as well as bralettes and crop tops. Make sure to peek at the versatile Cayman Bralette, a simple style that'll easily transition from beach to lunch with the addition of a flowing skirt. As for price? The bikinis will range from $88 to $120 per piece.

If a one-piece is more your vibe, you'll be able to snag everything from sleek, understated styles to sultry monokinis all for under $200. And, like the bikinis, the one-pieces are also available in several solid colorways ranging from a seasonal-favorite sunny yellow to classic black and earthy hues of olive, desert rose, and a rust orange dubbed "Tangelo."

But perhaps the most Insta-worthy styles of them all are the suits featuring animal prints. The brand has even started teasing the collection on its own Instagram by showing shots of the cheetah and tiger-print pieces. So, if you've been loving adding the jungle cat spots and stripes into your wardrobe, now you can easily bring them into your beach attire with these styles.
