Seaside snapshots and a birthday tease
Lori Harvey treated fans to sunny seaside photos this weekend, trading winter sleet for sand and surf ahead of her Jan. 13 birthday. The entrepreneur and SI Swimsuit model shared two Instagram carousels — posted Jan. 9 and Jan. 10 — captioned simply, “Sweet & salty ✨.” Photographer Yu Tsai captured the relaxed, stylish series during a Mexico shoot.
Knit two-piece steals the show
Among the 15 new images, a red-and-white knit two-piece emerged as the standout. The halter-style top and cheeky shorts-style bottoms feature contrasting white piping for a retro-meets-modern finish. Harvey paired the set with minimal styling, proving knit swimwear can be at once cozy and pool-ready.
She also mixed looks across the carousels: a tied white graphic tee over pastel-blue bikini bottoms; a light cocoa triangle string bikini accented by gold body jewelry; and candid clips of herself lounging on a boat. Swim pieces included Lybethras Swim and fine accessories by IPPOLITA, nodding to Harvey’s frequent collaboration with swim and fashion labels.
The shoot: credits and aesthetics
Photographed by Yu Tsai in Mexico, the images balance editorial polish with breezy beach energy. The series leans into texture — knit fabric, metallic jewelry, and sunlit skin — making pieces feel both wearable and aspirational. The variety of silhouettes — from triangle bikini to knit set — also underscores Harvey’s versatility as a swimwear muse.
Fan reactions and social buzz
Harvey’s Instagram comments filled with praise from fans and fellow models alike. Ashley Graham reacted with celebratory emojis, and many followers compared Harvey’s grid to a polished Pinterest board. Fans praised the effortless vibe and birthday-ready styling, noting the “unbothered” energy Harvey brings to her seaside posts.

Why it matters for swim fashion
Harvey’s shoot reinforces a few clear spring 2026 swim trends: knit fabrics in swimwear, bold color contrasts, and styling swim pieces as full outfits — ready for both sand and short boat rides. For shoppers, the images offer concrete outfit ideas: pair knit tops with cheeky shorts-style bottoms, accessorize with subtle body chains, or convert an oversized tee into a cropped beach look.
Bottom line
Lori Harvey’s latest seaside drops are a compact style guide: textured knits, classic bikinis, and simple, striking accessories. Whether you’re planning spring break looks or updating your swim rotation, these snapshots make a strong case for knit two-piece sets as a timeless beach choice.
