Emily Ratajkowski Has the Best Idea For Your Simple Black Swimsuit: Leopard Print

Emily Ratajkowski was spotted twice in the past two days on vacation with her friend in Miami Beach. On both occasions, Emily wore simple black swimwear from Inamorata, her own buzzy line — one bikini and one barely-there monokini. Emily accessorized both looks with gold jewelry, including her ginormous engagement ring, and splashes of leopard. On day one, Emily wore a Lack of Color bucket hat in animal print with Jennifer Fisher gold hoops and sunglasses, and on day two, the Inamorata Swim El Camino cover-up (which is essentially just a swingy, oversize button-down).

Now, whenever I have a trip coming up, I tend to start collecting new swimsuits, depending on the latest trends, assuming that'll be the focal point of my beach outfit. But maybe I have it wrong. Maybe, like Emrata, I should be sticking with the basic, trusty designs that fit me best in simple colorways (the ones that stay toward the back of my swim drawer because I'm less excited about them) and jazz them up with a patterned accessory.

Emily reminds us that, no matter what month you're vacationing, it's not all about the swimsuit of the moment — it's about how you style it. Read ahead for a glimpse of Emrata's getaway, then shop her exact looks, along with some leopard accoutrements, for your suitcase.
