If you’re anything like us, you’ve spent the past few weeks (months? YEARS?) fantasising about the perfect summer escape. There’s nothing better than the sand between your toes and the sun on your shoulders… except enjoying both of those in new swimwear. So whether you’re ready to start packing or still *manifesting* while stuck at your desk, get up to speed on the swimwear trends set to make waves this summer – no matter where (or when) you’re headed.
Bikini Sets
The two-piece set is a timeless addition to any summer-bound suitcase. We love a two-piece bikini for its mix-and-match appeal (bonus: trips to the beach restroom are now a breeze), and that you can create your own size combo to fit your figure flawlessly. This season sees bohemian-inspired prints, classic triangle shapes and string bikinis at the top of our list. Cult brands like Rhythm and Fella Swim have made these styles their calling card, with everything from tie-side bikini bottoms and halter straps to stripes, swirls and florals to choose from.
One and Done
If you don’t have at least one one-piece swimsuit in your holiday wardrobe, let this season be the one you splash out. The beauty of a one-piece is that it’s a whole look in one *literal* piece, and there’s a silhouette to suit every mood and moment. Look to Zulu & Zephyr for minimalist one-pieces in soft patterns, or Suboo for trending flourishes like cut-outs, hardware and kaleidoscopic prints. The best part? Your one-piece becomes a bodysuit after dark – simply team it with wide-leg pants or a wrap skirt for post-dip dinner and drinks.
The Final Touches
While you’ll likely live in your swimwear all Euro summer long, the rest of your packing list holds the key to next-level vacation style. Airy layers like summer shirts, sun dresses and flowing skirts are perfect for slipping on post-swim. Labels like Peony are beloved for their thoughtful approach to overswim, with their breezy, elevated silhouettes designed to pair back beautifully with their collection of more sustainable swimwear. Now that your outfit’s sorted, slip a pair of sunglasses, sandals and a wide-brimmed hat into your bag and you’re good to go – whatever’s on the itinerary. Oh, and sunscreen. Always.Â
