Swimsuits are one of the most popular target for fashion designers; they offer lots of opportunities for creativity and self-expression. In fact, swimwear is one of the hottest areas in fashion design, with trends that originate in swim spreading to other items of clothing. 2016 is right around the corner; here are some of the top trends to watch out for next year.
Cutaway Bikinis
First of all, cutout bikinis are catching on. Itty-bitty tops and thongs are giving way to a more athletic look that offers more material. Cutout bikinis have a variety of different shapes and styles, including higher waists and more chest coverage. These offer a variety of flattering silhouettes for a range of body shapes, and fun cutouts are flirty and sporty at the same time.
Minimal Malliots
One-piece swimsuits are making a comeback. Although there are a lot of new and exciting looks coming in, one of the most popular is pure simplicity—plain malliots in neutral colors. This offers an elegant minimalist look which looks good on almost any body and goes well with a wide variety of accessories.
Waist Cut-Outs
Having trouble choosing between one-pieces and bikinis? Suits with cutouts at the waist are striking the balance. One of the latest style involves a single swimsuit that shows off the midriff, baring some skin while maintaining a cohesive look.
Ruffles
Ruffles are having a moment right now. Folds of fabric are showing up on current swimsuits, especially on the upper half of the body. Ruffled bikini tops, shoulder straps, and necklines add fun feminine flair to any suit.
Accessories
One of the single biggest changes to occur in the swim industry, though, is a new focus on extras and accessories. Coverups, hats, bags, and swim dresses that match or coordinate with swimwear are a great way to get in on the trend. Here at Swimsuits Direct, we can help you find the best suit to stay in style.
