It’s that time of year again. As the rising temperatures of the incoming season collide with the cabin fever many of us have experienced over the past year, you’re probably eagerly hunting down a new summer wardrobe—and swimsuits feel like an apt place to start.
The biggest swimwear trends of the year leave room to creatively explore the heights of your poolside wardrobe and this time, the market seems to have pulled a little inspiration from ready-to-wear. After all, for the fashion-forward, getting dressed for the pool or other waterside activities is starting to feel increasingly like actually getting dressed. Trends centered around three-piece sets provide extra coverage and help swimsuits feel more “wearable.” Meanwhile, other trends involve subtle details that build on the idea of versatility, such as minimal swim tops that also double as going out pieces. And then, there are those trends that are just plain fun — the ingredient our wardrobes need most right now!
As ready-to-wear brands increasingly delve into swim and resortwear territory, and as more swimwear-dedicated brands emerge, there proves to be something for everybody. From the styles catering to those with simplistic needs, to those serving the bold and experimental, here are the 5 swimwear trends you’ll see everywhere this season.
Nude tones Those not in the market for colorful swimsuits may instead be looking for nude-toned options this year. As fashion currently embraces second-skin styles such as sheer, ultra-tight sleeves and the like, it makes sense that this skin-like swim trend is on the rise. Spoiler: it’s a look anyone can nail. Track down a style in a shade close to your skin tone for the ultimate optical illusion, or feel free to try out some other hues if you’re looking to keep the tones a little earthy, but with contrast. The best part about this minimal look is you can take your swim tops and pair them with just about any pair of trousers or denim for an out and about outfit.
’70s-inspired printsSomewhere between what feels like the two biggest fashion trends of last year, minimalism and ‘90s style, ‘70s fashion crept its way in by way of sweater vests and flared pants. This spring, the funky prints of the era have made its way to swimwear, and it may be the season’s best duo yet. Think psychedelic motifs characterized by wavy lines, abstract shapes, and “flower power” prints. After a largely uneventful 2020 summer, this is exactly what the comeback should look like.
