For someone who hates the sun, being outside, and being wet, I sure want to buy a lot of swimsuits! Maybe it’s because I finally have summer weekends off, swimsuit trends are banging this year, or because all of my life preferences are shifting. Whatever the reason, I’m gravitating toward so many cool swimwear trends.
Here’s a round up of the 6 coolest swimwear trends for Summer 2019! *and they’re all under $100!!*
1 | Minimal Bikinis
The minimal bikini swim trend is one of my ultimate favorites. There’s something so chic about a really simple two-piece. It’s simple, easy to wear, and the ways to accessorize are endless.
What categorizes a bikini in the minimal bikini category are the solid or minimal pattern, the lines, and/or the straps. My favorite minimal bikinis are solid colors in blacks or reds, but I’ve also been obsessed with chartreuse, orange, and royal blue for Summer 2019.
2 | Retro Prints + Sets
High-waisted bikini bottoms aren’t going away, and I love it. They’re incredibly flattering, in my opinion. At least I feel more comfortable wearing them these days. I also love that retro prints and patterns are being incorporated into the classic silhouette. From gingham to polka dots to a good rainbow stripe, they’re cheeky but cute.
I also love a good one-piece swimsuit, and I love the polka dots on this belted option below. It’s very swimsuit Barbie (aka, fab.)
3 | Cutouts
When I think of cutouts in swimwear, I immediately picture one of those one-pieces with the middle missing. You know the one? I find that cut to be incredibly unflattering, and tend to shy far away from cutouts in my swimwear. But there are so many cute cutouts that are flattering in 2019 swimwear!
Particularly I’ve been attracted to strappy bikinis and tops with keyhole cutouts beneath the bust. I’ve also found a few one-piece bathing suits with flattering cutouts!
4 | Ruffles
Another swimwear trend I’ve seen everywhere and love is ruffles! I think ruffles on swimwear is flirty and feminine but not in a juvenile, little girl kind of way. I think they’re fun and quirky.
Ruffles across and around the chest are great for fooling the eye into thinking you have a fuller bust than you do.
5 | Animal Print
Animal print is pretty classic for swimwear, but I’ve been into it more this year than I have been previously. Gone are the days where animal print is over the top and tacky (I mean it totally still can be). Brands are now offering chic and sleek snake, leopard, and zebra print swimwear in subtle and bold colors!
6 | Sporty
Athleisure is one those fashion trends I really want to rock but just don’t think I can. So I love it from afar. However, I’ve been noticing bits of athleisure in swimwear recently, and think I may have found my in. Make not of belts, zippers, paneling, and slogans.
