High-waisted bottoms and sporty tops are the summer swimsuit trend.

Yes, those are the two big ones. Everything else is noise.

Think mid-90s: high-waisted briefs or cheeky cuts, paired with a simple, structured top that actually stays on. Ruffles and cutouts are fading. Solid colors—especially terra cotta, navy, and olive—are beating prints this year.

If you want to look current, skip the string bikini and go for something with a little more coverage on the bottom and a racerback or tank-style top. It’s practical, flattering, and won’t look dated next summer.

Buy what you’ll actually wear to the beach, not just for Instagram.
