The Biggest Swimwear Trends of 2021

Traveling abroad remains a pipe dream. This doesn’t mean we couldn’t enjoy the summer as our country has a lot of seaside destinations worth visiting for rest and relaxation. We deserve it. Planning a trip to the beach means planning your swimwear. It’s not an easy feat, especially with the variety of styles and colors to choose from. But as always, we have you covered!

Here, the biggest trends in swimwear for 2021, and when or who should wear them!

#1 Voluminous Ruffles

The bigger, the better is the perfect saying for this summer trend. Ruffles are fun and flirty. From ruffles around the sleeves to ruffles going down at the back, this trend ensures a body-flattering fit all the time.

#2 Dainty Bows

This swimsuit trend elevates what we usually know of swimwear. Bow and ribbon details add a sophisticated touch to your casual beach look. We especially love self-tie ones as they are easily adjustable to your liking. Details like these are always appreciated.

#3 Cutting Edge

This trend is a little more daring and a lot more fun. Swimsuit cutouts are here to stay because they show your amazing curves, making each suit unique. We love how these types of swimsuits get creative with their cutout locations. The possibilities are endless.

Neutrals are always a staple on the beach, but you can always have fun with colors and prints. Blend with the rich shades of greens and blues. Floral blooms and shady leaf prints are always on trend, especially in the tropics like our beautiful country.

#6 Waist Cincher

This is for all the ladies who love a good one-piece suit. This trend focuses on swimsuits that cinch and emphasize your waist with a good belt or a contrasting piece. It is a no-fail flattering look that we highly recommend you try.

#7 High-Waisted Bottoms

 

The high-waist bottom has all the benefits of a great swimsuit: ample coverage, high comfort, ease of movement, and a timeless look. Wear it with a matching printed bikini top or mix and match to create your signature look. Not to forget, it is great for hiding all those pizzas you have consumed.
