Every summer, choosing the right swimsuit tops the list for women prepping for vacation. It's the essential beach staple that sparks dreams of sun-soaked shores and motivates gym sessions months ahead.
We often pick multiple styles to mix and match by day or destination. Finding that ideal swimsuit becomes the ultimate pre-summer quest.
From retro vibes to animal prints and timeless black, here are the 7 top swimwear trends for 2019.
The one-piece is a standout trend you can't ignore. Once seen as purely functional for laps, it's now a chic essential. Skip tan-line worries—focus on sophisticated style.
For an elegant beach look, the one-piece shines. Brands like Etam, Banana Moon, and Calzedonia offer diverse fits with cutouts, premium fabrics, and flattering necklines for all body types.
This is summer 2019's swimwear star! Options abound: classic, open-back, bustier, high-leg. Something for every figure.
Worried about a little tummy? Absolutely suitable—it smooths curves beautifully. For curvier women, choose darker, understated shades. Shaping one-pieces are ideal for confidence.
Slender frames get a sexy, elegant boost that turns heads on the sand.
Hot picks include one-pieces with ruffled straps—spotted on celebs and Instagram—plus open-back designs.
Slim and toned? Try the trikini to accentuate hips. Bridging one- and two-piece styles, it connects bra and bottoms structurally for creative flair.
The trikini is ideal for petite busts.
Loved the animal prints dominating wardrobes? Animal-motif swimsuits deliver wild, sexy appeal. Go for zebra stripes, leopard, tiger, or python in high-leg, V-neck, or balconette bikinis.
Gingham, ruffles, florals, polka dots, pin-up high-waists—retro rules 2019 swimwear. Perfect for boho or romantic vibes with modern twists from the '30s to '60s.
Bikinis or one-pieces, all shapes evoke vintage charm with innovative fabrics and cuts.
Bikinis dominate summer collections, flattering small and large busts alike. Petite chests love push-up décolletage; fuller figures opt for supportive triangles.
Summer 2019 brings charming cuts. Here are three trendy bikini styles.
Boho reigns supreme, infusing swimwear with romantic florals.
A favorite: the bandeau, ideal for slim builds and small busts. Add ruffles or underwire for volume. Larger busts need strong support.
Glam asymmetry defines the one-shoulder bikini, often ruffled and bust-friendly.
Bonus: It stays put during dives—no wardrobe slips!
Stripes surge back on 2019 runways—bold, playful prints for punchy style.
Classic, graphic, or abstract—stripes add flair.
Like the LBD, the black swimsuit is a wardrobe essential—chic, versatile, slimming for all shapes and occasions.
Available as trikinis, bikinis, one-pieces with lace, ruffles, or minimalism.
