Women’s fashion trends for everything from swimwear to lingerie to jeans change faster than the seasons, and it can be hard for anyone to keep up with them. Every year, the swimwear market releases new styles that become the popular “it styles” of the year and then inevitably fade from the spotlight by the time the next summer arrives. Don’t forget that the most important thing to consider when you’re shopping for bikinis is how comfortable and confident you feel in any given swimsuit you try on—no matter what style it is. You’ll look and feel better in a bikini that makes you feel good about yourself, even if it’s not completely in line with the hottest new trends.
That being said, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel stylish and on-trend while you flaunt your figure on the beach. If you are interested in keeping up with modern swimwear trends this summer, check out these three styles that are expected to top the trend charts for summer 2019. These three styles are not only ultra-trendy; they are also designed to fit and flatter a wide range of figures beyond the tiny “traditional” model-like bodies you see sporting bikinis in magazines.
Bedroom-Inspired Styles
If your bikini looks anything like lingerie, it’ll fit right in with the swimwear trends of 2019. Bedroom-inspired, sexy bikini styles are all the rage for spring and summer this year.
Stay in line with this trend with bikinis that are adorned with ultra-sexy detailing like lace, extra straps, etc. These styles automatically call to mind imagery of sexy lingerie and are sure to make a scandalous statement whether you’re strolling on the beach or laying out to tan by the pool.
Anything and Everything Yellow
“Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polkadot bikinis”—or yellow bikinis of any variety, even if they’re not particularly teenie weenie—are making a major comeback for summer 2019. Bright, cheerful yellow bikinis are the perfect transitional styles to flaunt on the beach or poolside once warm spring weather arrives but summer is not yet in full swing.
Color-based swimwear trends like this one give you much more freedom than specific on-trend styles. When you’re shopping for new swimwear this year, keep your eye out for yellow—it’s a hard color to miss on the racks. No matter what your swimwear style preferences are, you’re almost guaranteed to find a sexy style in some shade of yellow—whether it’s a scandalous thong bikini or a more modest tankini style.
High-Waisted Classics
High-waisted bikinis are not a new arrival on the women’s swimwear trend charts. In fact, these retro-inspired classic bikinis have been one of the most on-trend swimwear styles for multiple seasons. Much to the delight of curvy women everywhere, high-waisted bikinis are still topping the trend charts for 2019.
The best thing about high-waisted bikinis is their universally flattering nature. These ultra-versatile bikinis can fit and flatter women of all body types, shapes, and sizes. Combine multiple trends together with a yellow high-waisted bikini that features some type of sexy, bedroom-inspired detailing as a finishing touch.
