Swimwear is one of my favorite ways to add a little bit of chic to your summer wardrobe. A fantastic, affordable way to delve into trends without sacrificing your summer classics, swimwear is the way to go if you want to be fashion-forward! From daring cutouts to bright prints, here’s a look at 2016’s hottest poolside trends. 

 

LACE UPS

Laces are the name of the game this summer. An elegant way to feature a backless one-piece, the hint of risqué that these one-pull stunners bring is just the right amount of allure for a normally demure suit!

 

STRIKING PRINTS 

No more monochrome this summer! Don’t be afraid to show your wild side with some fabulous prints this season. The brighter, bolder and more striking the better!

 

HIGH NECKS

The overly prevalent crop top trend has spilled over into swimwear and resulted in one of my favorite looks: high-neck bikini tops are peppering every line this season. Slightly more covered up than a traditional bikini, this look is as unique as it is fabulous!

 

CUTOUTS & CROCHET

A little peek is all these suits offer and they’re as fun as they are chic. From crochet inserts on the side of a bikini bottom, to one-piece cutouts, you can’t go wrong with some unusual details this summer!

 

MAJOR BLING & ANIMAL PRINT SHADES

This is the year of poolside decadence, so don’t be afraid to accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Wear that statement necklace with a low cut one piece, add oversized earrings to your high neck top, and rock some killer shades everywhere you go… Summer 2016 is all about glam!
