Spring break and swimsuits go together like sand and sun. The new swim season is promising some trends as hot as ever, leaving us counting down the days until we can be relaxing in the summer sun. Here are our picks for the top swim trends to rock this spring break.
Suit And Tie
There's nothing more flattering than a swimsuit that makes you look — and feel — beautiful, and this suit from Aerie has you set. The contrasting prints are darling, but it's the tie front that will have you perfectly ahead of the trends.
To buy: $35, Aerie
Wrap Around Top
Taking a (literal) twist on the halter top, the wrap around top is perfectly badass — and this bold color and style from Modcloth is our newest summer crush.
To buy: $159, Modcloth
Lace Detailing
There’s nothing as beautiful and feminine as lace detailing, and it’s not often that we see it on our beachwear — until now, thanks to shops like Target. Take a page from your wardrobe and add this femme fabric to your swimwear, stat.
To buy: $39.99, Target
Plunging Necklines…
The plunging neckline might seem like a risky move, but retailers like ASOS are proving that it’s a style risk worth taking. Rock with a maxi skirt for the dressiest swimsuit you’ve ever own.
To buy: $57.13, ASOS
…And High Neck Styles
Of course, the plunging neckline isn’t for everyone. Luckily retailers like Victoria’s Secret PINK are all about creating suits with the right amount of flair around the neckline to look just as cool as your plunging neckline counterparts.
To buy: $39.95, Victoria’s Secret Pink
Statement Graphics
Make a statement without having to say a word. These graphic suits are meant to be worn to have a good time — and we are obsessed with this fruity design from Hollister.
To buy: $24.95 (Top), Hollister
Melt In Metallics
Bring on the summer heat with a sizzling metallic suit. Metallics are one of the brightest summer trends, and Aerie nailed it with their cut-out, ultra-shiny suit.
To buy: $35, Aerie
Strappy Bottoms
For strappy-bottomed suits, it’s all about the details. The straps on suits like this one from Victoria’s Secret PINK add a little sizzle — but they’re easy enough to wear that you’ll want to rock ’em with every bikini top.
To buy: $34.95 (Bottoms), Victoria’s Secret Pink
Sheer Cut-Outs
Sheer cut-outs like this style from ModCloth are the hottest one-piece suits to grace the beach. With all the coverage of a regular suit, and just a peek of skin here and there, it's one of the boldest trends to rock in the sun.
To buy: $106.99, ModCloth
Fun And Fringe
Fringe is seemingly the fad that will never go out of style, and we can’t get enough of it. A bold colored suit with fringe detailing like this from Aerie is everything you’ll need to be fashionable and have fun.
To buy: $35, Aerie
Single Shoulder
The single shoulder suit, like this style from ASOS, is the perfect top for support and style. Of course, you’ll want to make sure you pack the sunscreen — this style leads to some crazy tan lines!
To buy: $21.05 (Top), ASOS
Velvet Swimsuit
It looks like the ’90s velvet trend will be making its way to summer, too. Velvet suits, like this gorgeous style from ModCloth, are a stylish standout on any beach — in the best way possible, of course.
To buy: $89.99, ModCloth
Go Glam
Embellishments are the hottest way to glam up any suit, and finding a suit with a design like this one from ASOS with gems on top and bottom is the ultra-stylish way to look—and feel—like the trendiest lady on the beach.
To buy: $39.09 (Top), $36.08 (Bottoms), ASOS
Off-The-Shoulder Bandeaus
Bandeau tops might be all the rage in your wardrobe, and it looks like the trend is ready to hit the beach, too. Rock a top like this off-the-shoulder design from Aguadecoco with swim bottoms for day and a high-waisted skirt for night to have the most transitional suit on the beach.
