We all know that swimsuits are just like any other fashion item when it comes to styles going from hot to not. While it’s pretty safe to assume that the typical triangle top and medium coverage bottom will stay fairly regular in the swimsuit world, this summer there are new styles that you will absolutely want to try out.
The Underwire
Underwire has been slowly coming into trend for a few summers now, but this summer it is in full gear and ready to make its statement. This look makes the swimsuit a bit sexier and adds a little more shape and support than others. Plus, it comes in multiple different styles from underwire in a one piece, to a simple bikini top, making it a staple for every body type.
The Velvet Swimmy
People are all about the velvet trend this year... even to the point where it has been brought into our swimwear. I’m not complaining though, in fact I love it. Velvet not only looks great in the sun, but it adds a little detail to a simple solid colored bathing suit. Similarly to the underwire, it looks great in a one piece or a two piece, depending on your preference.
This look has made its debut in all areas of the fashion world, and now it’s absolutely booming in the swimsuit arena. The higher placed waistband not only covers up the stomach, but it helps those beautiful legs look longer than ever. Just make sure you roll it over when you’re trying to tan those abs of yours.
The Big Bow or Straps
A lot of tops this year seem to be following a trend of either big ties or big straps... both adding an adorable detail. The thick band that ties into a bow of your choice, or in turn, the thick straps, give the bathing suit a little more support than the tiny string bikini. It also adds a little bit of elegance to the swimmy through the bouncy bow or detailed straps.
The Ruffle
Yes, you read that right, ruffles have made the comeback we have all been waiting for... or at least some of us. They are making an appearance on every part of the bathing suit, from the waistband and the inner thigh, to the rib cage tie and detail on the shoulder.
No matter what the outdoor summer activity you’re finding yourself involved in, there is a swimsuit for it, and dang does it look good! So get yourself into one of these flattering pieces and get goin’!
