Top 10 Swimsuit Trends of Summer 2016

Sadly, the summer has almost come to an end. Some of us are sad about it, while others aren’t, all in all, like it or not, the autumn is starting to knock on our doors. Now, since you are reading this article you probably are one of those summer lovers who can’t get over the fact that she has to wait 9 months for the next one. Who can ever get bored or tired from the sea, beaches, popsicles, cocktails, pool parties and laying in the sun all day? How are you going to handle the coldness, the bulky winter clothes, shorter days and longer nights? Right? It is so hurtful and depressing to see all those swimwear fashion shows on TV. Well, maybe while you wait we can help you to get lost in your thoughts once more and imagine yourself on a sunny beach while browsing through this guide for 2016 swimwear trends and preparing for the season 2017 (or maybe for some exotic trip this winter in some tropical land where the summer never ends).

1.     Single piece

They are around since the beginning of time probably. It is actually so amazing that a simple piece of clothing like this one can have that many shape and size variations. It is practically suitable for anyone. It will look great on you if you are skinny, but it will also cover everything that needs to be covered if you are a little bit chubby. You will find it with laces, plunging J-Lo style necklines, monochromes, animal printed, flower printed, retro. Anything you can think of you will find a version of single piece swimsuit for it.

2.     Cut – outs

Not just swimsuits, every clothing item with cut-outs marked the year 2016. There simply is something super cool about that slashes and holes which feature more skin and also look extremely sexy and fashionable. If you are a fashion freak you probably have one of these, if you didn’t manage to buy it this year, you can easily find this type of swimwear online for a great price, since it is the end of the season.

3.     High waisted bottoms

Another common 2016. thing are high waisted bottoms. They are fabulous if you have a little bit of “love handles” down there since they are covering them perfectly and really make your waist look a lot thinner.

4.     Prints

Is there a better thing than a bright coloured, printed swimsuit on a tanned body? It doesn’t matter if you have triangles, ethnic designed Mayan patterns or some random sketches, the possibilities are endless and it will always look bomb. It simply adds that fun and playful note to the entire impression.

5.     High neck crop top bikinis

Fun, unique and modern – these three words perfectly describe this type of swimwear. They have also marked 2016. And appeared to be really winsome. You can combine these tops with any bottoms you like, but our personal favourite pair is the cut-out or a high waisted bottom part. 

6.     Fringed

‘70s are back baby! And they are planning to stay as we may notice. It doesn’t matter if the fringes are long or short, it will look fabulous. Just be careful though, only one piece of two can be with fringes!

7.     Sporty – like

If you are just not into elegant and markedly clothing and you are also a sport chick, is it necessary to say anything else? Two pieced or one pieced, neutral coloured or bright coloured – it is up to you. They look great and really give that Baywatch vibe to your appearance.

8.     Single shoulder

Yes, even if many trends this year included double shoulders or strapless bikini tops, some designers have decided to spice it up a little bit and add some fun in the swimsuit world. These are just taking the whole swimwear fashion to a new level and you can find them in tons of variations, from rope like single straps to meshy ones, basically whatever you can think of.

9.     Animal printed

These are for all you bad chicks out here. Snakeskin or a leopard, tiger or a zebra – it doesn’t matter, they are waking up our inner animals and make you look fierce and unique. Who would want to mess with the sexy wild cat? Roarrr!

10. Bondage

This trend has been present for a few years now and we are just loving it. It is just that woman adore that feeling of being the dominant but at the same time the submissive one. They come in every shape, colour and size and you cannot make a mistake with whichever design you choose.
