Cobalt and tomato red are the swimwear colors this summer.

Those are the two big ones. Cobalt blue is everywhere – it pops against any skin tone and photographs well. Tomato red is the other standout, a little more grounded than fire-engine red, works for both one-pieces and bikinis.

Neon is also hanging around but more as accents (straps, trims) than full-on fluorescent. Pastels are still around but feel a bit tired compared to these saturated hues. If you want to look current without chasing every micro-trend, pick one of those two.

Don’t overthink it – just grab whatever makes you feel good in the fitting room light.
