Summer is just around the corner. That means warm summer days sunning yourself by the pool and going for beach hangs with the girls.
With summer, comes swimsuit season. And this time round, we’re going to make it easy for you. No more scrolling through countless websites searching for swimsuit trends and the most flattering bikinis of the season, nope, we’ve done all the hard work for you.
Last year’s swimsuits had a great run, but now it’s time to make way in your closet (and beach bags!) for the latest trends and styles that are going to make your next poolside celebration even better than expected.
Say bye to your faded, outdated bikini and hello to fresh summer newness.
Multitasking Swimwear
When it comes to summer, think less clothes, more fun. Look to multitasking silhouettes that double up as bodysuits, looking just as chic under your favourite pants or skirt as they do at the pool. From minimalist one shouldered styles to backless designs, the right swimsuit can easily take you from beach to bar when you dress it up accordingly.
The Retro Cool Girl
This season, we’ve seen a number of 90’s trends sashay back into the forefront of fashion. From the slip dress to the square toe heel, it’s certainly having its moment. When it comes to swimwear, we’re seeing elements of the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s in designs. From t-shirt twist bikini tops, high-cut briefs, sporty tankinis and retro fabrications, we feel like we just stepped out of a time machine.
Knots & Twists
Knotted details add depth to a swimsuit. Not only does it add character to a simple silhouette, but you can alter the style to fit your unique body shape– music to every girl’s ears! Customisable yet cute, we think this is a trend that’s here to stay.
Animal Print
Love it or hate it, animal print will always be a fierce look. Go all out in a leopard one-piece to channel your most glam vibes and team with your favourite black denim skirt or wear a cute frilled bikini to break up the boldness of the print. Get ready for lots of attention for all the right reasons.
High-Cut Bottoms
The high-cut swimsuit trend is no longer a trend… more a lifestyle. Designed seamlessly to elongate and lengthen the body there’s nothing a high waisted bikini can’t do. Think flattering shirred fabrics, floral prints, frilled sleeves, and cupped bikini tops that’ll solve your vacay outfit worries. With such a flattering finish on the waist, it leaves you with more opportunity and confidence to choose pretty much any type of bikini top.
