Although it might not seem like it when looking at the weather forecast, summer is just around the corner. (I promise you!) While international holidays to far-flung destinations may still feel relatively out of the question, I am determined to get myself to a beach in the near future, one way or another.
Filled with a sense of optimism for the summer ahead and a yearning to start planning my holiday wardrobe, this week (amongst the rain showers and hail storms), I set out to discover exactly which swimwear trends are on the horizon for 2021. Speaking with seven designers behind some of the most in-demand bikini brands—including Jade Swim, Hunza G, and Evarae—I discovered that, for many, this summer is all about feel-good fashion.
Almost every designer told me they’ve gone all-in on smile-inducing shades and looks that add a little extra joy to our wardrobes. In terms of silhouettes, it appears we’re seeing a shift towards versatility, with several designers noting the creation of multiway bikini tops that can be tied in different ways to create new silhouettes. When it comes to fabrication, shine and sheen are definitely on the rise.
So whether you’re planning a trip to Portugal or simply the local park, keep scrolling to read all about the swimwear trends you’re set to see this summer.
