Now that summer is here and the days are becoming longer, swimsuit season is approaching. Although a classic one-piece or bikini set will never go out of style, this summer will bring a new set of exciting poolside trends to test.
These are the top swimsuit trends making a mark this season, from comfort-first styles to provocative high-cut suits and beyond. Shop these types of swimsuits now, and get ready for the best summer ever!
Swimwear as Ready-to-Wear
Although the last few years have been filled with canceled vacations and postponed beach getaways, they have taught us that you can still get some use out of your swimsuit even when you aren't near the water.
Wear a medium-coverage top with a short-sleeved button-down for a resort-ready outfit, or combine your high-waisted bottoms with a cropped rash guard.
We love our Camo Cheetah Reversible Over-The-Shoulder Midkini Top, a bralette-midkini crossover with sporty racerback straps that gives you two looks in one. Simply reverse it from the multi-camo pattern to deep solid pink whenever you want to switch things up for water sports, swimming, or hanging out on the beach.
Another favorite for your summer wardrobe is our Ditsy Spot Cropped Rashguard, which features a beautiful and feminine ditsy print in sophisticated cool tones of marine blue and jade green. This cheeky rash guard will keep you safe in and out of the water all day, no matter if you're hiking, running errands, going out for dinner or actually surfing, or paddleboarding.
The cropped front keeps it attractive, while its UPF 50 and long sleeves protect your skin from the sun's damaging rays.
These two looks are especially wonderful because you can be beach-ready at a moment's notice!
Belted Swim Styles
Another fun trend that’s in our future is belted one-pieces! There are plenty of different options out there for each body type and personal style, so don’t be afraid to explore what’s available and find the best one for you.
Personally, we recommend the Island Goddess Bandeau Bikini Top. It’s a great and flattering suit that gives you curves in all the right places. The faux belt gathers in the middle with stunning gold hardware, drawing attention to the smallest part of your body and defining the waist.
This beautiful sweetheart neckline complements the bust but is still fully appropriate for any occasion!
All Tied Up
It's always a good idea to wear a string bikini. Not only does the trend look great on all body shapes, but it's also quite adaptable, making it simple to pick a style that suits you just right.
Wraparound styles were just starting to become popular last year, so expect to see string styles paired with one-piece silhouettes this season.
Check out our Eclectic Shore Halter Triangle Top for this trend! Full of color, this bold tropical print halter top is perfect to kick-start that holiday spirit. Take the ties and wrap them up in multiple different ways for a fun take on a new classic.
Cut It Out
Cutouts are definitely here to stay, and for a good reason: they're the most effective way to update a beloved silhouette. Just remember to bring your sunscreen to protect your skin.
Our sultry Island Goddess Cutout One Shoulder Mio is a modern update on the one-piece with cut-outs and a tie that just shows the right amount of skin. The one-shoulder/one strapless side silhouette balances out the neckline and flatters the arms.
Hardware Accents
This trend has a bit of a nostalgic feeling, but that makes it right on-trend. A one-shoulder suit is ultra-modern and the hardware accent adds visual intrigue to the garment for a dazzling blend of past and future tastes.
Try out our Prism Palm Lace Back One Shoulder One Piece swimsuit full of vivid retro colors that produce dreamlike palm fronds set on a black canvas. The triangular hardware on the shoulder adds interest to our version of this classic style.
Fully Coordinated 'Fits
If there's one guideline to follow this summer in terms of swimwear, it's to always wear a matching set. When you pair your swimsuit with your cover-up, you'll be That Girl at the beach, pool, rooftop, or other spots of your choice. A coordinated outfit will always look put together.
Pair our Ocean Oasis Halter Triangle Swim Top, Ocean Oasis Mid-Waist Sash Band Classic Bikini Bottom, and Ocean Oasis Pareo Wrap together for the ultimate trendy looks! This deep blue sea-inspired trio features gorgeous shades of turquoise that take on an ombre effect throughout the pieces.
Underwire Bikinis
You might remember that at one point almost all trendy bikini tops looked like they could be worn as normal crop tops. For example, puff sleeves and any type of sleeve are slowly fading out and giving way to the emergence of a new type of a staple two-piece bikini bathing suit: underwire tops.
It's understandable why lingerie-inspired styles have become so fashionable. It's as supportive as your favorite bra and gives any swimwear a throwback vibe.
For this trend check out our Tropics Of Tropez Underwire Over-The-Shoulder Top. Pairing these with your favorite swimsuit bottoms will have you feeling like a jet setter. Inspired by the bright colors of Saint-Tropez, it has a tropical twist, supportive underwire, and a U-shaped gold hardware accent.
Minimal
As anti-trend fashion continues to gain popularity as a wise investment, it's apparent that fashionistas are considering seasonless designs that can be worn year after year. While color blocks, ruches, floral prints, and ruffles are always fun, classic, timeless looks are sometimes even better.
The simple, '90s-inspired items that are ruling the fashion world today are one way we're seeing this trend arise in swimwear, too. We can credit Chanel for putting these pieces on the map, as the brand's S/S 22 collection featured pared-back throwback bikinis that have already been marked as some of the most popular pieces of the season.
Delicate and modest our Island Goddess Lingerie One Piece’s lingerie-inspired design conveys a simple, feminine style. It’s similar to a high-cut tankini top, offering full coverage and blending different styles to create the perfect one-piece suit.
Bold Colors
Across the fashion world, vibrant hues are in full force. This trend continues in the world of swimsuits, where bold colors abound in the latest collections.
While there is no clear standout color, tones like tangerine and jelly green are gaining popularity. Lots of brands are betting on pink, some having seen a 120 percent increase year after year in sales. The hue is so vibrant that it is projected to grow much more as summer approaches.
For a boldly colored suit, go with our Island Goddess Multi-Strap Cross-Back One Piece! It features a sexy deep V neckline and multiple criss-cross straps in the back and comes in different bright colors.
