12 Times Kourtney Kardashian Slayed In A Bathing Suit

When us mere mortals decide to go on vacation, we're usually focusing on the fact that we get to do nothing but lie on the beach, read some cheesy novels, eat junk food, drink margaritas, and have some time off from work and our regular routine. We usually dread going shopping for new bathing suits because that is a special kind of hell that is unfortunately reserved for all women. Even the most body confident among us don't love staring at ourselves in a dressing room mirror, trying to figure out if this bikini actually fits us. But that's not what celebrities go through. And that's not what the Kardashians go through -- Kourtney in particular. She's a total dream no matter what bathing suit she decides to wear, and we love that she's basically a swimsuit model, even though she's not a size zero. Here are 12 times that Kourtney Kardashian slayed in a bathing suit.

12 When She Wore A Black One-Piece

There's no doubt that Kourtney has a revenge body we're all jealous of. The mother of three has been looking hotter than ever and even more so in a bathing suit. Lounging on the beach in Miami with her three kids Mason, Penelope, and Reign, wearing nothing but a minimal black one-piece, she looks amazing. She even sported her bathing suit with some cut off denim shorts which we absolutely love!

11 When She Got Nostaglic With Kim

Back in January, Kourtney posted an old photo of her and Kim wearing beautiful bathing suits. She joked about how they both were super into animal prints, but we can't believe how awesome they both look. Well, okay, we can believe it, because this is Kourtney and Kim Kardashian we're talking about. They basically look amazing all the time. We love Kourtney's confidence in wearing such a skimpy string bikini. She's not a stick and that's exactly what makes this photo so great.

10 When She Bared All In Black

This adorable photo of Kourtney, Kim, and fellow reality TV star Kristin Cavallari is basically #friendshipgoals but also proves that Kourtney isn't afraid to bare almost everything in a simple, tiny black bikini. Her body looks incredible in this suit, let's just be honest. She will inspire you to eat healthy and get your butt to the gym. But again, what's so inspiring about her is that she's not about fitting into a clothing size that your body isn't meant to. She's still got some curves and we appreciate that.

9 When She Was A Pregnant Beauty

Would you wear a bikini when pregnant? Kourtney went for it, and we think that's super awesome. She was never ashamed of her pregnant body, and of course no one should be. We love the black and white bikini and the cute beige fedora she's wearing to complete the look. Of course she would be super stylish when pregnant as well. What were you expecting?

8 When She Got Artsy

Kourtney could just wear skimpy bikinis whenever she went anywhere hot on vacation, but that's not enough for her. She wants to get creative sometimes too and wear an artistic-looking swimsuit. This one is particularly beautiful. At first glance, it's a beige and grey bikini. But then you look closer and realize that, yeah, it's a bikini, but it almost looks like a one-piece at the same time. Very clever. She's completed the look with a long gold chain necklace, simple bracelets, and sunglasses. And she looks awesome.

7 When She Proved There's No Basic Black

If you think that a black one-piece is the most boring piece of swimwear that you could possibly put on, think again. This photo proves that there is no such thing as basic black, at least not for Kourtney Kardashian. She's wearing a super cute, beautifully designed black one-piece that's got some interesting details like fringe and cut-outs at the sides. Not an easy look to pull off, but of course she did with flying colors.

6 When She Was A Hot Mom

Family vacation? It's not an opportunity to let yourself go, at least not according to Kourtney over here. When she went on a fam trip with her son and Scott, she wore a super cute, super small bikini that made her stomach look incredibly flat. Again, it was more interesting in terms of its design than your average bikini, and was almost futuristic with its grey and black design. We totally approve.

5 When She And Kim Were Twins

She and her sis Kim are wearing almost matching bright purple bikinis. That's a tough kind of purple to pull off. Because it kind of reminds us of Barney. But alas, they both look amazing. But we think that Kourtney's bikini is way more interesting because it's got gold details on the top and bottom. That makes the purple less awful.

4 When She Covered Up More

Kourtney's no fool. She knows that sometimes you can't show so much cleavage. So with this look, she's got a cute bathing suit top that totally covers everything, and a print bottom that is super pretty. This is a bit more appropriate since she's with her daughter, of course. But she proved that covering up doesn't have to mean you look super ridiculous and frumpy. This suit is still beautiful and sexy: it's got some pretty details on both the top and the bottom.

3 When She Matched Her Headband To Her Bikini

In another I'm-Pregnant-And-Looking-Hot-In-A-Bikini moment, Kourtney matched her hippie-ish print bikini to her headband. And looks super cool. We seriously wish we could take her bathing suit shopping with us so she could pick out some cool stuff for us, because we bet she would make the entire process fun instead of frustrating.

2 When She Wore A Crazy Yellow Number

In the promo for Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, Kourtney is wearing a crazy yellow number… that we kind of want for ourselves. It's a very interesting design and is basically a bikini that has a black line kind of attaching the top to the bottom. Confusing to explain. So just stare at the photo forever and bask in the glory of this amazing bikini.

1 When She Wore Gold In St. Bart's

Who can pull off an entirely gold one-piece bathing suit? Kourtney Kardashian, naturally. She posted an old photo of her on Instagram last December from a vacation in St. Bart's. Now this is definitely not the kind of old photo that we post on #throwbackthursday. We're usually posting ourselves as babies or kids, and we laugh at how awkward our hair or clothes were. Not Kourtney, of course. Each of her bathing suit looks on this list gives us some major style inspiration. Just in time for summer.
