These are the swimsuit trends that we'll be seeing all summer long.

Along with the current fashion trends, many popular 2021 summer <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/9-sustainable-swimwear-brands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">swimwear</a> styles are inspired by the'70s, '80s, and early 2000s. Colors and patterns are bolder and brighter, expressing the desire to stand out after a year of staying in. You can even adapt many of the swimsuits for your casual wear, incorporating beach-ready styles in your day-to-day wardrobe. Here, we round up 14 major swim trends to try out this summer.

Summer is a time to shine. So what's more prominent on the blue sea and white sand than neon colors like yellow, pink, orange, or purple? It would be even more perfect to combine this color with some of the features of '90s swimsuits such as square necks, high hips, and a sporty style.

Ocean-Inspired Colors

If you feel the neon tones are too dazzling, you can switch to the cool colors of the ocean: white and navy.

Geometric Patterns

In addition to monochrome swimsuits, try breaking out with various geometric motifs: wavy, horizontal, checkered, or fish scales. These patterns have the ability to create illusion which you can use to your advantage to flatter your figure.

'70s-inspired motifs like starfish will help you stand out at any beach party.

Tropical Flora and Fauna

Pair these daring prints with a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to channel the adventurous vibe of a jungle explorer.

Tie-Dye

This summer, the bright colors of the rainbow are essential to dispel the rather gloomy atmosphere of the pandemic. Tie-dye brings a beautiful, artistic touch.

Florals

For girls who love feminine styles, delicate and classic patterns reminiscent of childhood dresses are a suitable choice.

Shades of Brown

If you're not interested in all of these bright tones or patterns, choose <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/brown-color-trend-instagram-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brown</a> instead of the traditional black or blue. This color gives a rich, luxurious look, but is anything but boring.

Cut-Outs

Bold and sexy diagonal cuts are a common trend of fashion in recent years. For swimsuits, this style especially stands out on one-piece monokinis. A cut in the right position will cleverly show off the shape and flatter your figure.

Metallic

If your bikini has a simple design, you can elevate your look by choosing shiny, metallic fabrics for added elegance.

Old School Boho

Boho swimwear usually features knit materials, ruffles or ruching, or neutral colors, which look great when layered with a crocheted cover-up.
