Getting ready for the beach season: 8 current swimsuit models

Coquette

This style is everywhere - from fashion to decor, from phones to hair to shoes. And now on swimsuits. The coquette style phenomenon (or fascination with the ultra-feminine aesthetic) will continue, unsurprisingly, this summer. Get ready for bows, baby pink, ruffles and frills galore.

Indivisible

One-piece swimsuits are an unshakable classic, but with the effect of Sofia Richie and the elegant return to public space of Pamela Anderson, they are back on trend. “I love the return of wholeness: a timeless option that people turn to for sexiness and fun,” says Sienna Gomez, owner of the eponymous brand Sienna Swim. “Our customers accessorize their swimsuits with gold jewelry, slicked-back sleek hair and sheer dresses that transition effortlessly from day to night.”

Brilliant Additions

Jewelry is always a must for accessory lovers, but this trend can be easily adopted by others as the glitz and glamor have already graced the covers of magazines and fashion models. Consider waist chains and other sparkly trinkets to help you sparkle in the sun without worrying about losing anything. For example, jewelry from Dorne, which can easily be attached to any swimsuit.

Bando

This may seem to some like a return to the aesthetics of the 70s, but bandeaus are already on mannequins and hangers in stores. Why not? They are practical for summer and go perfectly with boho style. “We're always looking for swimsuits that allow you to tan without excess white spots and stripes. There’s nothing worse than putting on a fancy suit, getting a good tan, and then spending the rest of the summer struggling to remove the remaining light lines,” said Joan LaGuardia, co-founder of Meridian Swimwear.

90s minimalism

Another trend from the past. Minimalist shapes, clean lines and rich colors (black is a favorite) are associated with classic style on the runway, but also look attractive on the beach and in the water. “In the '90s, high-cut styles with a narrow gusset were popular, but this year we're expecting huge demand for low-rise styles that cover the entire hip bone,” says Gomez. – Our designers pay a lot of attention to low and mid rise because they flatter any body type. Modesty has come into fashion.”

Sculptural form

More and more brands are introducing shapewear elements into swimwear that can be discreetly incorporated using compression fabrics and clever designs. They provide the necessary support and desired sculpting effects that boost anyone's confidence, whether she needs it or not. “Sculptural swimsuits have been long overdue for an update,” says Stylest co-founder and former fashion editor Joanne King Michael. “Women’s lifestyles and bodies are changing, and simple, form-fitting swimsuits are not for everyone.”

Natural colors

Bright, neon swimsuits may symbolize the 2010s, but in this decade you can forget about them. This year, in particular, natural colors reign: blue, green, brown and pastel. Just look around you on vacation - blue or light blue sea, yellow, white or gray sand, green leaves. “We're seeing a back-to-basics trend in swimwear,” explains Jade Swim founder and CEO Brittany Kozerski Freeney. “Neutral, earthy tones compliment any skin tone and allow you to use bold accessories to add a different style to your swimwear without being too overwhelming.”

Renaissance of prints

For those who didn't subscribe to the pared-down aesthetic, maximalism is making a comeback, and fun prints are no exception. It doesn't matter whether you're sunbathing on the beach or swimming in a lake or pool, bright patterns are everywhere. Let's listen to the designer of the Cosita Linda brand, Lina Gouws: “In the coming season we will see beautiful tropical, floral, exotic prints with bright turquoise and corals the color of the setting sun.”
