From playful prints and bright colors to sleek swimsuits in elevated palettes, there’s a 2026 swim trend for every type of beach or poolgoer.
The 2026 Swimsuit Trends to Know
Swimwear is truly where function meets style, which is why designers love to play with new silhouettes and aesthetics. For the summer of 2026, we’re seeing both minimalist and maximalist styles. Anemos, Toteme, Matteau, and St. Agni have perfected the art of simplicity in earthy colors like lagoon blue, moss green, and classic black. These are no-fuss suits that pack a stylish punch. If that’s not quite your vibe, beachy nostalgia and bright tropicana are trending too: Just take a look at Lido’s sunset gradients or Loewe, whose teal two-piece is a perfect match for its whimsical pineapple pumps. Meanwhile, Chloé, Zimmermann, and Solid & Striped execute the retro summer look flawlessly. And we can’t forget our sporty girls, whose effortlessly cool surfer style you can borrow from with wetsuit-inspired takes (even if you don’t plan on tackling any big waves).
We’ve gathered our favorite swimsuits from every trend this season to inspire your summer shopping. Once you’ve landed on the perfect suit, don’t forget the sandals and cover-up to go with it. Shop all the summer swim trends below.
Contrast Trim
There’s no gray area when it comes to our love for this trend. Streamlined silhouettes, from bandeau bikinis to classic maillots, are extra chic when outlined with a contrasting trim. The only question is: Will you pick black and white or white and black?
