Suit up! The top trends to get your whole clan swimming in style.

You may not know where you're going on the family vacation this year, but you do know this: You'll be packing bathing suits. Yes, you still have last year's, but after a season of sun, salt and chlorine, well, they've all probably seen better days. And since you practically live in a revolving parade of suits all season, there's no better time to check out a new crop of swimwear. Doing the staycation thing? Channel your fam's favorite beach spot, even if you're all just lounging poolside in the backyard.

CAPE MAY CLASSIC: This Americana beach town begs for suits that take their cue from the Fourth of July, with tanks and trunks in bold solids, subtle patterns and contrasting stripes. For you, think classic, timeless styles, like a flirty red and white striped bikini by Ralph Lauren (at Lord & Taylor), or a navy maillot by Michael Kors (at Nordstrom). Kids will be right in line with Ralph Lauren's Polo Club bikini and madras plaid swim trunks in blue hues, also by Ralph Lauren (both at Macy's).

HAWAIIAN HOLIDAY: For the jet set, nothing but paradise will do. Bright combos, playful palm prints, and shocking neons add a tropical punch to low-dipping tanks, trunks and bikinis. Gottex's bright Lagoon V-Neck one-piece (at Nordstrom) will put you in island time way before you even touch ground. Turquoise and neon floral swim shorts from Peter Millar (at Nordstrom) work at home and on vacay. And just say aloha to these supercool suits for the kids: shark teeth print swim trunks from Old Navy and brown and pink hibiscus tankini from Roxy (at Lord & Taylor).

OCEAN CITY ADVENTURE: Nostalgic for a carefree summer that's all about catching the waves? Relive the glory days, with endless summer prints, '70's- inspired shapes and hip surfwear. For dad, Beach Boy boardshorts in funky orange and brown from Quiksilver (at Nordstrom) will give him instant cool. Your teenage daughter will be all over the triangle top bikinis (striped version from BCBG Max Azria and graphic print by Vitamin A at Nordstrom), and boys will hang ten with Old Navy's Beach Graphic Swim trunks in a California dreamin' era print. Some things never change.
