Bikinis, Beads & Bold Prints: What’s Trending on the Beach This Year
Summer is officially here—and yes, it’s that time to start planning your swimsuit wardrobe! Whether you're beach-bound or poolside lounging, we’ve got you covered with the hottest swimwear trends for Summer 2025 and the next year, as spotted at Cabana Show and Miami Swim Week.
Here are 7 standout swimwear trends you’ll want in your closet:
1. Crochet Everything
From bikinis to breezy cover-ups, crochet is still making a strong statement—fun, flirty, and totally made for Instagram.
2. A Hint of Shimmer
Not full-on metallic, but think swimsuits woven with a subtle shimmer or metallic thread. Just the right amount of sparkle under the sun.
3. Crinkle Fabric
You know that stretchy, textured fabric that started popping up a few summers ago? It’s officially a staple now—and it comes in every color.
4. Bold Prints
Large floral and botanical prints are blooming in earthy hues—think browns, mauves, deep forest greens, and burnt orange.
5. Rosette Revival
Feminine and flirty, rosettes are popping up on swimsuits and beachwear alike for a playful, girly touch.
6. Retro Glam Prints
Channeling serious Missoni and Pucci vibes, these swirly, colorful patterns are everywhere—so similar you might do a double take.
7. The Versatile One-Piece
Not just for swimming—this summer’s one-piece is chic enough to double as a bodysuit with denim shorts or flowy skirts. Instant outfit win.
On the Sustainability Front
We’re loving the shift toward more eco-friendly materials in swim and beachwear. Brands like Alicia Swim and Sleepers(yes, their flip-flops are made sustainably!) are leading the charge.
