From stunning backless swimsuit styles to asymmetric cut outs, this trend adds interest and dimension to the classic silhouettes we know and love whilst accentuating your figure and showing a little more skin.

Staple Styles
Get back to basics with a timeless swimsuit that will remain on trend season after season. To level up this classic look, opt for a luxurious textured fabric and flattering details such as high-rise bottoms and waist panelling to accentuate your figure and elongate your legs. A quality black one piece is a must have in your summer swimsuit collection or indulge in new season colour palettes and explore crisp whites, soft blues and gorgeous pinks.

Crochet
For an opulent, boho-inspired alternative to the classic swimsuit, we can’t go past the ever-popular crochet trend.
