Garden Party
Feminine florals can turn even the sportiest swimsuit into a fun and flirty style. Moodier blooms in a darker palette are perfect for those craving a more serious print, while sugary sweet pastel buds will have you looking like a retro pinup babe.
High Contrast
Juxtaposing high intensity neutrals like black and white makes for a super chic combination, especially when modeled next to a clear blue pool. White suits with black piping will be sure to maximize the impact of your tan, whereas a little black string bikini will instantly amp up your sex appeal.

Good Sport
If you’re more apt to be out on a paddleboard than parked in a lounge chair, you need a swimsuit that melds fashion with function. Neoprene accents and zippers make for flexible fits, or you could choose to interpret the trend more literally with a sports bra-esque racer-back bikini top emblazoned with the word ‘tomboy’.
Boho Babe
Details like crochet and fringe have made a huge comeback on the swimsuit scene the past few seasons, springing up in a multitude of chic flower-child styles. Test out a macrame bikini in vibrant splashes of colour for an exotic statement, or a plunging fringed monokini to highlight your curves. Or go for an incredibly bold tribal-inspired print and you’ll be set.
