Five Swim Trends to Look Out for in 2018

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bucknell chapter.

As we get closer and closer to the end of the semester it is finally time to talk about the one thing on everyone’s minds: summer. With summer approaching and beach vacations on the horizon, swimsuits are about to be the outfit of choice. For college students shopping for swimsuits, looking forward to the summer, or simply procrastinating from studying, here are five swim trends to look out for in 2018!  

1. Front Tie Swimsuits. Whether it be a bikini or a one piece, swimsuits with front ties are going to be everywhere this summer. Flattering, practical, and trendy, this style is a must have for 2018.

 

2. One-Pieces. This was definitely a trend last summer, but one-pieces are coming back in a big way this season. Cute cut outs, bold prints, or classic colors are all one-piece trends that are sure to dominate beaches and pools this summer. Also, one-pieces are a great way to add some variety to your swimsuit collection!

 

3. Ruffles/Frills. A great trend for anyone looking for a feminine but subtle look, ruffles and frills will be all over this summer.

 

4. High Waisted Bottoms. The jury is still out on this trend, but whether you love high waisted bottoms or hate them there is no denying that they are making a comeback this summer. These types of bottoms are a great option for girls who want to wear bikinis but do not feel comfortable showing too much skin.

 

5. Velvet. The velvet clothing trend that has been everywhere this year has made its way to swimsuits. For a unique and bold look, velvet swimsuits are a great option.
