Sexy Swimwear Trends for Summer of 2016

​If this summer has a focus on anything, it's new bikinis! When making purchases for the upcoming season, don't feel like you have to skimp on new swimwear. Your efforts will definitely not go unnoticed. There are many new styles for bikinis that even the most fashion-shy ladies can rock. Overall, pick a bikini or one-piece that makes you feel the most confident and emphasizes the best part of your body! This will ensure that your swimsuit is the least of your worries – and that you’re not late to the party. 

Flouncy Bikinis

This summer is all about extra fabric in unique places on bikinis. At the beach, you'll be seeing a lot of ruffled shoulder straps and extra detailing along the cleavage line. Trend forecasters are describing this style as "flouncy." This ultimately means that the summer of 2016 means more fabric and more movement! This trend is great for those that need more coverage; most of these flouncy tops and bottoms are more conservative while still remaining sexy. To get the most out of this youthful look, pick a playful print such as floral or polka dots. To make the look more sophisticated, add bold cat eye sunglasses.

One-Piece Swimsuits

When one-piece swimsuits come to mind, they can have a negative connotation. Either an image of 80s high-sitting sporty suits comes to mind, or consumers think of ridiculous monokinis with embellishment and bad tan lines. Erase your thoughts and think of a stylish, comfortable, and perfect one-piece for any age range. Everyone will put their bikini aside for this trend because it gives something that no other swimsuit style can: confidence. If a one-piece is able to accomplish the same sexiness, stylishness, and fun appeal of a bikini, then why not cross over? Women have the most trouble with their midriff areas, so wearing a cute one-piece will ensure that you're satisfied with your shape. 

Colorful Print Swimsuits

The year of 2016 is the year of prints. Standard swimsuit patterns such as stripes and polka dots will do, but it'll never compare to trendy colors and prints! For example, one of the biggest prints that will continue to be successful throughout this summer is the bright green palm print. Paisley, tribal, and geometric styles will be front and center on swimsuits. To achieve this look, go crazy and do major prints combined with color. This will gain attention for all the right reasons. 

Unique Bathing Suit Shapes

The standard bikini is a thing of the past. Designers and brands are expanding the horizons in order to accommodate different body shapes. For example, one shoulder tops or cut-outs will be something to consider when looking for a bikini that no one else will dare rock! For minimal style, this two piece by Calvin Klein is the perfect set to show off an athletic figure.

High-Waisted Bottoms

Fifties era has come into trend once again. A few years ago, high-waisted bikini bottoms were in style and sported on celebrities like Taylor Swift. Although it was an adorable trend, some fashionistas found it to be cheesy for everyone to look like a fifties retro gal. This summer, make the high-waist sexy. By having a higher cut in the back or cut-outs on the side, it makes this look very daring, yet modest.
