The Swimwear Trends You Must Have This Summer

If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the summer sun, you probably also love a gorgeous swimsuit. Lines dedicated to the art of the bikini idolize elaborate and meticulous designs. With such little fabric to work with, coming up with a flattering design becomes all the more challenging. Trends come and go in swimwear, so us bikini-lovers need to stay in the know! Here’s some trending swimwear that you simply can’t pass up this summer! 

Velvet Bikini  

Soaking up the sun in a soft velvet bikini sounds like comfort in a bottle. With velvet taking the stage this season, we're hardly surprised you can now purchase velvety swimwear. While this sassy Frankie's bikini in cloud may not be ideal for active water sports, it certainly is the perfect piece for making the beach your personal runway show ($185, frankiesbikinis.com).

Swarovski Crystal Swimwear 

If diamonds are a girl's best friend, then the next best thing is authentic Swarovski Crystals. With the amount of time and care us ladies put into selecting the perfect swimwear, it makes sense that suit we chose be drenched in ravishing crystals. This SkynCandySwim Ultra-Lux Swarovski Crystal swimsuit in Unicorn Kiss is the perfect balance of dazzle and detailed styling without an over the top price tag. Swarovski swimwear has made itself known in the swimwear industry this season, and we're loving it! After all, feeling like a princess while relaxing poolside is the ultimate luxury experience ($189, skyncandyswim.com).

Vibrant Prints 

What looks amazing on a tan? Vibrant prints, of course! Moana Bikinis has mastered the art of creating unique and original prints and incorporating them into a super cute bikini. This Bird Bath set by Moana is reversible, so you get not one, but two standout print choices ($125, Moanabikini.com).

Cheeky Bottoms 

When cheeky bottoms are in, so are minimal tan lines. Cheeky-style bikini bottoms are so desirable and flattering. The curves shape your booty, giving you maximum definition. Finding cheeky bottoms is easy right now, with most swimwear brands offering some form of the trend. San Lorenzo Bikinis is a great place to find a wide variety of teeny tiny bottoms. Check out their Little Black Bikini Grader Bottom for a basic black style ($65, sanlorenzohawaii.com).  

Crochet Embellishment  

Crochet bikinis were a temporary hit. They lost popularity just as fast as they lost their shape once they hit the water. So how do we find a happy medium? Enter crochet-embellished bikinis. These are the safe alternative to a fully crocheted piece, having only the outline and small details adorned in yarn-like string. Del Maar Swimwear offers a range of crochet-outlined bikinis, including this Aloha piece ($169, delmaarswimwear.com).

Contrasting Fabric  

Fashion loves color blocks, and swimwear is sleek enough to make it look sensational. Bikinis that feature a two-tone color contrast scream high fashion and high end. That’s not to mention the fact that with any luck, you’ll find one that shows off your two favorite colors. Kaohs Swim recently dropped the Ali bikini top and it perfectly executes a color contrast style ($98, kaohs.com).
