With only a few weeks left in the semester, I’m constantly daydreaming of warm beaches and cute bathing suits instead of studying for my finals. What better way to procrastinate than by doing some online shopping? I’ve searched my go-to sites and found some seriously hot suits that’ll be perfect for relaxing by the pool or ocean. From ruffles to mesh, these swimsuit trends are the perfect way to mix up your beach look this summer!
Mesh
Mesh has been a huge trend recently, especially in nighttime looks, so I’m not surprised I found so many suits with mesh details. Both of these suits are from Forever 21, which has a huge selection of fun pieces for the beach. A little mesh adds the perfect amount of edge to a basic one-piece suit, though it may give you an interesting tan line!
Ruffles
The runways have been filled with ruffles, and the trend isn’t leaving anytime soon. This trend translates into swimwear effortlessly, making pieces fun and flirty. I love that these two suits from ASOS have a ruffle and are off-the-shoulder, the two go together perfectly. ASOS has plenty of unique swimsuits like these, so you’re sure to find something you like (plus they offer a student discount!)
Crochet/Lace Details
I’ve always found crocheted bikinis a little odd, but they’re starting to grow on me after finding these two suits from Lulu’s. They have such a fun, bohemian vibe to them that’s perfect for a chill day at the beach. Plus, a crocheted one-piece can easily turn into a cute outfit by throwing on a pair of denim cut-offs. If the completely crocheted look isn’t for you, try a one-piece with some flirty lace detailing instead.
Halter Tops
Halter tops might be my favorite trend on this list- just look at how cute these ones from Aerie are! I love buying suits from Aerie because they’re always in such fun patterns and the models in the pictures aren’t retouched. Sometimes I prefer wearing halter tops because they just feel so much more secure than a triangle bikini top. Plus I love the sporty look they have!
Lace Up
The lace up trend is here to stay, and I can guarantee you’ll be seeing plenty of lace up suits this summer. I’m a huge fan of this trend, and I love how such a small detail can add so much interest to a look. These suits from Missguided are perfect if you love small, edgy details. (Missguided also offers a 50% student discount!)
Have I convinced you to stop studying and do some online shopping yet? These fun trends are sure to keep you feeling cool and looking stylish by the pool all summer. Plus, any of these cute suits would easily make any pool or beach pic totally insta-worthy. I hope you give some of these fun trends a try this summer and don’t forget- every body is a bikini-ready body!
