Whether you\u2019re catching waves or just catching some rays, your swim style should be as unique as you are. At Aerie, we believe the best &#8220;set&#8221; is the one you create yourself! Mixing and matching is a way to embrace your individuality and feel like your most authentic self. Here is your ultimate guide to becoming a mix and match pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-mix-amp-match-bikini-sets\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Why Mix &amp; Match Bikini Sets?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone are the days when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/us\/en\/c\/aerie\/swimsuits\/bikinis\/cat2490019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bikinis<\/a> had to be identically paired sets. We\u2019re breaking the rules because you deserve a look that fits your body and your mood. Here\u2019s why we love mix and match swimwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More Outfit Options: <\/strong>One or two extra pieces can turn into a whole week of vacation looks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Custom Fit: <\/strong>Different sizes for tops and bottoms?

Pairing a solid with a print is the simplest way to create a look that feels balanced yet playful. The solid piece acts as your visual anchor, while the print brings all the energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Color Pull:<\/strong> Look closely at your print.

Mixing prints might sound a bit intimidating, but it\u2019s easier than you think when you follow these three simple rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stay in the Family: <\/strong>Keep your color palette consistent. For example, a striped bottom in shades of blue looks intentional and chic when paired with a blue-based floral top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Play with Scale: <\/strong>Variety is key. Mix a large-scale, bold print with a smaller, more subtle one so they don\u2019t compete for attention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The &#8220;Main Character&#8221; Energy:<\/strong> Let one print lead the way while the second plays a supporting role. If your top is bright and oversized, keep the bottom print a bit more understated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-playing-with-color-blocking\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Playing with Color Blocking<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to skip the prints but keep the drama? Color blocking is for you.
