Swimsuits in 2023/ Styles, Cuts & Colors
- Swimsuits in 2023 are smaller than ever. Bottoms are cheekier, triangle tops have shrunken down to minute proportions, and underboob seems to have become an inevitability. If you are not going for the itty bitty string bikini, there are ways to update your swimwear wardrobe by incorporating prints and design details.
- Long Sleeve Swimsuits - Sheer Sleeves, Cutouts & Bright Colors
- Athletic Swimwear - Super Sporty, Asymmetrical Straps, Lots of Color Blocking. In 2023, athletic bikinis offer full-coverage tops and bottoms while still incorporating a detailed cutout.
- Metal Accents & Ring Bikinis - (Thank you Julia Fox) -
- Sequined Swimwear - We are seeing sequins on Bikinis and One-Pieces.
- Shimmer Swimwear - It’s all about the texture and how it glistens in the pool - Think Bold Colors, Lime Green, Coral, Reds & Oranges…or go for a Sparkle Black Suit.
- Mermaid Style Swimsuits - Scallop-Edge Bikini tops, themed prints, and mermaid scale-inspired textures that go between a metallic and a shimmer. (Think Hailey Bieber Glazed Donut Nail Trend)
- Color Blocking - Used across the Board in every Swimsuit Style this Season. Could find more Subtle Color - such as Light Corals, Browns, Nudes, White and Black.
- Vintage Silhouettes - Silky Fabrics, Ribbon Closures, Bows and Ruffles - Softer Romantic Sexiness
- High-Waisted One Pieces & Bikinis - Supposedly have more Coverage in the stomach area pulling that waist in
- Bralette (think Lingerie inspired) Swimsuits - Bra-like styles like Demi, Balconette and Super Deep Plunge Cuts.
- Off The Shoulder Swimsuits - Think Bandeau, V Neck, Square or Sweetheart Necklines - Add Bows at Shoulders…even Draped Design Detail at Arms.
