The Biggest Swimwear Trends of 2023
- Underwire cups: Whether in your bikini top or one-piece, underwire cups are having a moment this summer, which is great news for anyone who needs that extra support!
- Texture: Bathing suits made out of non-traditional swimsuit material offer a fun departure from the norm, are typically quite comfortable and are hugely on-trend this year, just like last.
- Cut-Outs: Another trend that is hanging on from last summer, cut-outs are all the rage in our one-pieces for 2023.
- Retro-Inspired: Think the summer of love, because flower power-inspired prints in both bold colors and pastels are a major “do” when it comes to this year’s swimwear, as are crocheted designs. A crochet beach cover-up? Yes, please!
- Athletic-Inspired: Let your inner Olympian out with sports-inspired suits that will make you look ready to fight for the gold, even if all you’re doing is laying in the sun.
