The most important detail in choosing the perfect swimsuit is feeling comfortable and confident. Don’t be afraid to try new styles and trends, but ultimately, choose what works best for your personal preferences. Here are a few swimwear trends that will help you achieve your ideal beach day.
Many swimwear brands are incorporating lurex fabrics or “micro glitter” into their collections to add some glamour and glitz. When it comes to colors, metallic hues like gold, silver and bronze are especially popular for sparkly swimsuits, but other vibrant colors like pink, purple and blue can also be used to create a bold and playful look. Everything But Water has some great options with subtle shine at their East Hampton location. Make sure you follow the care instructions for these delicate fabrics, so that you can enjoy your sparkly swimsuit for seasons to come.
The classic triangle bikini has been a popular swimwear choice for many years and will never go out of style. Updated versions are popping up in retro patterns and jungle prints. Popular for its simplicity, the triangle will leave you with minimal tan lines, but it won’t provide the same support as an underwire top. If your vacation plans involve lounging on the beach and sunbathing, the triangle is an easy choice. Eres is known for their high-quality fabrics that last. Their East Hampton boutique has bikini options that are worth investing in.
This season’s swimwear trends are all about creating a complete and cohesive look, with coordinating pieces and attention to detail. Matching sets of bikinis, sarongs, skirts, headbands, and other accessories can form a polished and stylish beach look. The skirt set trend is particularly versatile, as the skirt can be worn as a cover-up for added coverage, or dressed up with accessories for a night out. Shan in East Hampton is known for their beautiful matching sets that can take you from beach to dinner.
Ruffles and ruching are great ways to add some interest and texture to swimsuits. Ruffles provide a feminine and flirty touch to swimsuits, whether they’re on the neckline, straps, or waistline. Ruched styles involve the gathering of fabric to help create the illusion of a smaller waistline, while camouflaging any insecurities in the stomach area. If you want to create the illusion of a larger bust, ruching or ruffles on the top of a suit can be helpful.
Arguably one of the most famous swimsuits is the iconic red one-piece suit worn by Pamela Anderson, as she ran in slow motion down Malibu Beach. If your tween is enrolled in the Junior Lifeguard Program at Main Beach, function is a priority. Neoprene is designed to perform in the water and provides a comfortable, snug fit. Tankinis usually have higher necklines and a high-waisted bottom, which will stay in place if you get tumbled by a wave. Investing in a stylish rash guard is a great way to protect your skin and stay on-trend at the same time. Some rash guards incorporate trendy elements such as puffed sleeves or oversized zippers.
One-piece suits are eternally stylish staples for those who prefer more coverage. Flying Point Surf Boutique, with locations in Sag Harbor and Southampton, carry some trendy and cool one-piece options. For those who want to add some flair, cutout details are a popular trend that make a statement. Cutouts can be strategically placed to highlight your best features. A waistline slit can show off your curves, while a keyhole detail can draw attention to your decolletage.
