Top Swimsuit & Bikini Trends This Summer 

Not sure what to look out for when it comes to swimwear trends for 2021? From chic little details that make all the difference to the brands paving the way for sustainable swimwear (AKA, Cosmokini!), this year, trends seem to be more stylish than ever. Look for versatile beachwear that can be paired with a skirt or shorts and suddenly become a full day look. 

Here, we’re into the trends that we feel will go the distance. So that you can invest in quality swimwear that you’ll love wearing season after season. 

Keyhole Cut-Outs

Keep a lookout for keyhole cut-outs when it comes to swim this year. One of the biggest trends we’re seeing for spring and beyond, it’s all about 90s-inspired minimal cut-out details for both swimsuits and bikinis. 

Opt for chic and simple classic style with our Madrid swimsuit in colour-pop red, complete with a peek-a-boo front cut-out. If you prefer a two-piece bikini, our hot pink Montreal bikini top with scooped back is finished with on-trend triple cut-outs and we’re obsessed with the balance of sporty and sexy.  

Black

Black has always been a chic choice when it comes to swim but this year, it’s back in a bigger way than ever. A classic colour palette that suits every skin tone, a sleek black swimsuit is a versatile and timeless swimwear essential this season. 

There’s no better option than our stunning Santorini one-piece. Complete with an ultra-flattering halter neck cut and sultry front cut-outs, it’s the perfect poolside choice. Pair with a flowing kimono jacket and an oversized sun hat for maximum glamour. 

Lace

Balancing the look of swimwear and lingerie to perfection, the lace trend is one of our favourites this year. Feminine, pretty and effortlessly sexy, white lace, in particular, is proving the perfect option for that sunshine honeymoon style. 

We’ve played with the idea of lace in two ways through the Cosmokini collection. Both as chic as each other. Our Cannes bikini top is crafted with a printed lace ECONYL ® Nylon to serve the effect of lace with our signature stretch fabric. Differently, our stunning Limoges bikini top is finished with true lace panel inserts, perfectly paired with the flattering high waist Limoges bottoms with coordinating lace detailing at the hip. 

High Waist Bikini Bottoms

A high waist is still top of the agenda for swimwear and perfect for those who like a little more cover when it comes to swim. 

Try our Toulouse bikini bottoms for the perfect and most flattering high waist cut, finished in denim-effect ECONYL ® Nylon. 

Pretty Ties

You can’t have enough tie details for 2021 swimwear. The more, the merrier has never been more true. But that doesn’t mean you have to choose bikinis that are near impossible to put on and wear. 

Take our on-trend St Tropez bikini top, for example. A classic shape with frill shoulder detailing, this style also incorporates an additional tie detail that can be either wrapped around the waist or tied around the neck to suit your mood. 

Sustainability

And lastly, the biggest trend of all for swimwear in 2021? Sustainability, of course. Gone are the days of cheap and cheerful swimwear that lasts one holiday – if that! – and goes straight into the bin. Today, it’s all about long-lasting, quality and timeless swimwear that promises to serve you style year after year.
