🌞 Trend 1: Color That Pops (And Slays)
This summer is all about color confidence. Think: juicy fruits, dreamy florals, and vibrant hues that demand attention. One of my all-time faves? The Brooklyn Bikini in Peach — she's sweet, bold, and totally extra in the best way.
If you’re feeling a little more zen, the Brooklyn Bikini in Verte gives you that earthy goddess vibe without losing the sass. It's basically main character energy in bikini form.
And let’s be real — summer swimwear in bold shades just hits different under the golden sun.
Pro tip: When rocking bold colors, pair with neutral slides and a breezy sarong to let your swimwear do all the talking.

💅 Trend 2: Minimal But Make It Snatched
Minimalist cuts are making waves — but don’t get it twisted, these aren't boring basics. We’re talking clean lines, sleek straps, and silhouettes that sculpt.
I’m obsessed with the Penelope Bikini in Black. It's a black two piece bathing suit that means business. She’s giving "cool girl by the pool" with zero effort. Throw on a linen button-down and oversized sunnies? Chef’s kiss.
"She’s simple, but she’s snatched." — Zara, probably every summer.
These minimalist styles are perfect for mixing and matching with anything else in your summer swimwear rotation. Bonus? They pack like a dream.
✨ Trend 3: Prints That Bring The Personality
Florals, fruits, and everything flirty. Prints are having a major moment right now, and honestly? I’m here for it.
The Maya Bikini in Fruit Salad is legit a party in bikini form. It’s playful, bright, and guaranteed to turn heads. Want a softer moment? Go for the Maya Bikini in Flower Field — she's romantic, subtle, and totally picnic-date-approved.
These prints add spice to your summer feed and are perfect for that spontaneous beach day or rooftop pool sesh.
Summer swimwear should make you feel fun and fearless — and prints are a fab way to express your mood.
