Biggest Swimwear Trends To Watch This Summer

Every summer brings with it new beachwear trends, bigger and better than the year before. Summer 2018 has taken inspiration from across the globe, fashion catwalks and boho chic styles. Check out our list for biggest swimwear trends to watch this summer for the ultimate beach babe look:

Wild Patterns

Unleash your inner animal with some nature inspired prints this summer. Bold colours and patterns have been dominating the catwalks, with luxury swimwear brands producing some excellent quality beach looks. From unique one-shoulder pieces to classic two-piece bikinis, you can emulate everything you’ve seen in the magazines this summer. Go a step further and pair your patterned swimsuit with colourful accessories to really make a statement at the beach.

Cut-Outs

Cut-out swimsuits are sure to be the recurring theme this year, with everyone from high fashion models to Instagram influencers jumping on board with this trend. It’s a twist on the classic swimsuit, with a cut out section in the middle, making it somewhere between a bikini and a swimsuit. Ideal for lounging on the beach or by the pool, though you may be left with an interesting tan line!

The Smaller The Better

This summer’s look seems to be revolved around “the smaller the better”, with so called “tiny sunglasses” topping the list for must-have accessories all summer long. This bizarre trend started with fashion houses declaring that small sunglasses have taken the place of big sunglasses this year. The same goes for the triangle bikini, and upside down cleavage – as with the cut-out trend, leaving little to the imagination, if you’re brave enough, when you hit the beach this summer.

Body Jewellery

Body chains were majorly popular last year, and they’re set to make a return to the beaches this year. They look particularly great when paired with a simple bikini, adding another element to your outfit. With so many styles to choose from, including simple gold pieces and statement chunkier chains, you’re sure to find the perfect body chain that suits your style.

Stylish Cover-ups

We all like a little cover-up when the summer evenings turn a little chillier. Kimonos and Kaftans are the perfect solution, providing extra coverage whilst remaining effortlessly stylish. Pack a spare cover-up with you in your beach bag for longer days where you know you’ll be lounging by the beach until late evening.

What will you try?

Mix and match these trends to create the ultimate beach babe look this summer or play it safe with your favourite style. Your beachwear look should remain unapologetically you, so choose whichever trend you prefer and get ready to hit the beach in style this year.
