These 20 Swimsuits Double as Tops to Make Your Life Easier

When it comes to building out your summer wardrobe, you'll want to invest in versatile pieces—and we’re not just talking something you’ll wear over and over again, but a piece that serves more than one purpose. Think a scarf that works as a top, or a dress that doubles as a shirt—you get the gist.
