Baywatch is making noise again. Livvy Dunne was announced as part of the cast for the new Fox reboot, joining Brooks Nader and Shay Mitchell. That means the red swimsuit look is officially trending again, and stores are already full of Baywatch-style pieces ready for summer or your next costume party.

Quick wardrobe checklist

If you want to lean into the lifeguard vibe without actually saving lives, here are the main categories to consider. No certification required.

Red one-piece (guard style)

Classic Baywatch energy. Think high-cut, bold red, and built for showing up on the sand. Great if you want the full lifeguard silhouette without the whistle.

Two-piece version

Prefer separates? There are matching red two-piece sets that mimic the same look but with more flexibility. Wear both pieces together, yes. That is the point.

Simple red one-piece, no drama

Looking for something low effort but still unmistakably Baywatch-inspired? A plain red athletic one-piece gives the vibe without extra fuss. Also available in other colors if you insist on variety.

Red lifeguard shorts

Want a casual nod to the franchise? Red shorts with "LIFEGUARD" printed on them do the job. They read as both playful and obvious, depending on how much attention you want.

Costume options

If you are planning ahead for Halloween or an event, there are full lifeguard costumes modeled after the show. These are clearly costume pieces and can be a fun, long-term buy if you can wait until the reboot actually releases.

Accessory kits

Accessory bundles pack a lot of novelty items: two pairs of sunglasses, two whistles, a keychain, a hat, a fanny pack, and even an inflatable lifeguard float. Cute for photos, not certified for any real rescues.

  • Note: Not lifeguard verified. Do not attempt beach rescues with novelty gear.

Men's red trunks and costume trunks

Options for men range from costume-style red trunks to practical quick-dry swim trunks in the same bold color. Choose the costume pair for a themed party and the regular trunks for actual swimming.

Men's short shorts

If you want more leg exposure, there are short styles designed to show off your tan. They lean playful and definitely draw attention.

Men's bikini bottoms

For the brave or the daring, there are brief-style swim bottoms available in red. They deliver the most literal Baywatch throwback look.

The new Baywatch reboot is slated for late 2026 or 2027, so any costume purchases might be a long-term play. Prices and availability change, and some items are unofficial merchandise unless explicitly labeled. Have fun with the look and stay safe in the water.
