Swimwear is always interesting because you kind of have no choice but to have some fun with it. It’s an inherently recreational category of dress. That’s why we love swimsuit trends 2024. There’s no workplace dresscode, no wedding dress code, no wondering if your grandma will hate it. You’re on vacation or at the beach or at the pool. Honestly you might even be like me, wearing a bathing suit at the park because it’s New York City, and people start stripping when it gets warm out.
Bathing suit trends are usually just a reflection of fashion trends at large, and this is the case here as well. We’ve been seeing crochet and metallic fabrics on gowns across runways. We’ve also been seeing a ton of layering basics, like t-shirts and tank tops among young people, in music scenes, and in youth culture.
I am also really into the fact that one piece suits seem to be on trend because I’ve always thought they were cute, and I hate that they’re labeled as matronly. They feel vintage and hot.
We’ve rounded up six of our favorite swimwear trends for summer 2024 and places to shop them.
Crochet is trendy in every clothing and accessory category, so of course it’s on trend in swim. It doesn’t hurt that crochet bathing suits are also pretty easy to DIY, even if you’re fairly new to crochet.
People hate on one-piece bathing suits, but they’re sexy! They have amazing cut-out potential and look very cute with shorts or cover-ups.
We’re layering our t-shirts, layering our tank tops, and now we’re layering our bathing suits. These layered bathing suits are a gorgeous update to colorblocking.
Metallic bathing suits look like mermaid scales. and they also kind of naturally look wet. We’ve seen metallics all over the runways in other categories, in fabrics like satin and silk.
These metal grommets are in the cultural zeitgeist from the corset trend, but they also really hit that metal stud spike vibe that was really popular amongst skate fashion in the 2000s.
Sometimes it’s ruffles, sometimes it’s bows, sometimes it’s rosettes. But we’ve been seeing flared sleeves and straps on dresses, tops, cardigans, you name it. Those trends always trickle into accessory and swim.
