"What do I wear to Swim Week?!" is a serious question. Like you wouldn't go to a race without bringing your car, you wouldn't show up to the tents without bringing your best. If you're in need of some sartorial inspiration, we've tapped in three Miami boutiques— Style Mafia, Kore Boutique, and MVM Miami—to style their ultimate Swim Week outfits. Floral explosions, a matching set, and a glamorous gown ensued.

Where: Kore Boutique
What: Olivaceous ruffle bright yellow off the shoulder crop top, $61; Lulumari tropical print wide leg wrap pants, $65.
Why: "Inspired by a mixture of Mara Hoffman's bold and bright prints and Paula Hermanny's fabulous printed collection that have the perfect color schemes, we chose this perfect swim week outfit," says Yasira Angulo, manager at Kore Boutique. "A breezy and summery look is something that's perfect. We'd wear it beachside, poolside or simply around the city."

Where: MVM Miami
What: Boundary dress, $230.00; Nocturne necklace, $203.
Why: "This bustier maxi from Boundary is the perfect swim week outfit because it embodies the right mix of sexy-yet-fashion-forward, while keeping things comfy in the unbearable Miami summer heat," says the boutique's owner, Melissa Mosheim. "Don't forget the must have accent piece from Nocturne that adds a colorful touch to keep things funky."

Where: Style Mafia
What: Rita Set, $85
Why: "Swim week is about being cute and comfy to brave days jam packed with shows and events," says founder Simonett Pereira. "Our Rita set is practical, tropical and totally on theme!"
