Even if you’ve never seen the original Baywatch (which was once the most watched TV show in the world, BTW), you probably still know its Olympic-inspired slow-motion shots, red one-pieces, and steamy romances. Now, almost 30 years later, with the release of the new Baywatch film, we can’t help but compare past and present seaside looks. Take a peek, and see how to own those summertime vibes.

One-pieces are this season’s trendiest swim silhouette. Snag the iconic Baywatch look with a high-cut, red-hot suit. Then take it a step further with natural, windswept beach waves and a sun-kissed (faux) tan. Simple slide sandals keep it sporty and chic.

Men’s swimwear can range from full-on prints to one allover color. Hook the go-to lifeguard look by grabbing your man some solid swim trunks, and update them with canvas slip-ons and mirrored shades. Finish with a crisp white button-down for a seamless beach-to-bar transition.

From the original TV show to the latest movie, one thing is for certain: The quintessential Baywatch vibe is best when done in multiples. With the current nod to 90s fashion, now is the time to work this tried-and-true beach-babe look with your whole crew.
