As the days get longer and the promise of summer’s sun and warmth gets closer, it is time to freshen up your warm weather wardrobe, and nothing says summer better than the perfect new swimsuit. This year’s swimsuit trends are playful and flirty, offering visual interest and some fashion-forward twists on the classics.
A Sexy Take on the One Piece
The latest version of the one-piece bathing suit is a far cry from your great-grandmother’s beachwear. The monokini is technically a one piece but with a serious focus on showing your beautiful curves and your summer-ready skin. Available in a rainbow of colors and styles, you can choose from nearly endless monokini possibilities: straps, bows, bandeau tops. New summer trends like sexy monokini swimsuits are redefining this season’s warm weather fashion.
Back to Black Basics
Truly classic styles reappear on the runway for good reason, and this season’s graceful reappearance is the black string bikini. This classically sexy two piece is a summer fashion basic for the beach. Look for updated details on your string bikini, such as a metallic embellishment, fashion-forward styles on the bust or bottoms, or glamorous gold strings to offset the black basics.
Go Geometric
If you are looking for something fun and a bit unusual in beachwear, check out this season’s one pieces that flaunt geometric cut-outs. The key for this unique trend is to look for asymmetry: cut-outs that fall in surprising and interesting places on your body but not with a predictable pattern or symmetry. To make this trend work for you, try out a variety of swimsuits to make the shapes work for you, showing off your best assets. Just be sure to slather on the SPF since these geometric cut-outs will certainly leave some unusual tan lines.
A Bounty of Bottoms
Beyond the classically-inspired string bikini, the focus of many two piece swimsuits this season is the bottom. From ruffled, to sporty, to high-waisted, all eyes seem to be on a woman’s waist and hips. Ruffled bottoms are feminine and flirtatious, while sport-inspired bottoms have clean lines and practicality that lend them to an active lifestyle. If ruffled or sporty is not your style, choose one of the most popular trend in bikini bottoms: high-waisted pieces which are universally-flattering because they emphasize a woman’s natural curves.
Summer is a time to find adventure, enjoy the individual moments, and embrace relaxation, and your wardrobe should reflect this. Experiment with the fashion trends, and embrace the attitude of warmer weather. Choose a swimsuit that flaunts your assets and shows the world your confidence and forward fashion sense.
