Our Favorite Swimsuit Trends For Summer 2016

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

With Summer 2016 on its way, it’s never too early to start prepping for your bikini body and to splurge on some stylish swimsuits to keep you looking hot all summer. This season swimwear boutiques such as Midori Swimwear, Kiini Swimwear, Triangl Swimwear, and many more are taking over Instagram. The one-piece is also making a huge comeback this year and unique patterns such as criss-cross designs are seen all over numerous social media platforms. Take a look at five of our favorite swimsuit trends for the upcoming summer season! 

1. 

CAUTION: will cause crazy tan lines! The unique criss-cross patterns are worth the funky tan lines as these bikinis will make for a sexy fashion statement and a great Insta pic!

2. 

This trend has been around for some time, but this year without a doubt, it is going to be everywhere! The best part about this style is you can pull it off as a crop top and pair it with some high-waisted shorts to go shopping after a nice sunny beach day.

3. 

The brand “Kiini” has increasingly become popular over the past few months, as celebrities such as Cara Delevingne and Tash Oakley have rocked these suits. They definitely are unique and they are all handmade, which makes no bikini alike! Kiini Swimwear makes their bikinis with neoprene, spandex, and oddly enough yarn.

4. 

The days when wearing a one-piece swimsuit meant you were either a serious swimmer, scared of the sun, or body-conscious are gone! Brands such as Mikoh Swimwear and PacSun came out with styles everybody will love with a wide variety of cuts and colors.

5. 

For the simple girl who loves clean and pretty patterns, these are for you! Ark Swimwear and Midori Swimwear are known for their simple, yet chic patterns of bikinis that are perfect for tanning days!
