As summer’s heatwaves roll in on ocean breezes, it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe. The 2025 swimwear trends are arriving with bold innovation: vivid, contrasting colors, avant-garde cuts, and fabrics rooted in sustainability—redefining seaside style aesthetics. Embrace this summer to the fullest in beachwear that blends style, comfort, and individuality.

One-Piece Swimsuits: Timeless Allure

At the heart of 2025’s swimwear trends lies the enduring appeal of the one-piece swimsuit, which continues its rise in popularity. This classic item is undergoing a transformative evolution: fluid one-shoulder designs enhance elegant contours, and retro high-leg cuts from the ‘80s elongate the legs, exuding a sharp modernity. Popularized by countless fashion icons, the modern one-piece is not only an eye-catching choice for vacations but also a versatile wardrobe staple, doubling as a stylish underlayer—perfectly embodying the "one item, many looks" fashion philosophy.

Top fashion houses are reimagining this trend with exquisite craftsmanship and innovative design, highlighting elegance and comfort. The tank-style swimsuit—a hybrid between bikini and one-piece—sculpts the body while striking a perfect balance between comfort and sophistication.

The black one-piece remains a perennial classic in swimwear, reigning supreme with its unmatched elegance. This dual charm of sophistication is further enhanced by asymmetrical white detailing or athletic-inspired high-neck designs.

This season’s swimwear scene is dominated by high-saturation hues. Asymmetrical geometric designs break convention, with each piece expressing a unique fashion attitude. These design elements, both classic and trendy, form the essence of 2025’s beach style.

High-Waist, Minimalist, Side-Tie Ruching: The Return of the ‘90s Bikini

The trend for two-piece swimwear is being led by high-waisted bikinis paired with sporty tops, ‘90s-style high-cut triangle bottoms, and side-tie ruched designs. Endorsed by global fashion icons, these designs feature clean lines and form-fitting cuts that flatter the waistline and elongate the legs, beautifully showcasing the wearer’s silhouette.

This signature ‘90s aesthetic returns with a fresh twist, merging nostalgic charm with contemporary confidence, capturing the hearts of fashion enthusiasts. Matteau continues its refined minimalist approach with understated cuts that exude luxury, while Toteme uses streamlined silhouettes to create sleek and modern shapes.

In addition to the ever-stylish high-waist bikini sets, minimalist bikinis and vintage-inspired ruched side-tie styles cleverly revive the elegance of the ‘50s. For lovers of bold colors, navy blue’s calm and blush pink’s softness maintain classic appeal, while high-saturation hues like lemon yellow and emerald green burst onto the scene with summery intensity. For those drawn to understated luxury, the prevailing neutral palette is a must—low-saturation tones evoke a sophisticated, relaxed vacation vibe with ease.

Sustainable Swimwear: One of the Coolest Trends

Whether it’s a classic one-piece, a bikini, or an elegant tank-style bikini, sustainable swimwear has become a central topic in fashion. For summer 2025, “conscious minimalism” is redefining luxury resortwear, quietly reshaping how we choose beach attire.

From ECONYL® regenerated nylon made from recycled fishing nets and marine debris, to certified organic cotton and bamboo fibers, eco-friendly materials are the rising stars of sustainable swimwear.

Emerging brands like Isole & Vulcani and Lido use natural plant-based dyes to lend unique textures to organic cotton bikinis. Bond-Eye and Reina Olga break conventions with bold cuts and avant-garde designs, showing that sustainability and style are not mutually exclusive.

Luxury label Chloé joins this sustainable movement with authority, using regenerated polyamide and certified fabrics to merge comfort with pioneering aesthetics—carrying the ethos of sustainability to its fullest. In terms of color, sustainable swimwear thrives on low-saturation sophistication: from timeless ivory and matte black to sandy beige, sage green, and taupe earth tones, these shades help craft a poised, fashionable look.

How to Choose the Perfect Swimsuit for Your Body Shape

Finding that perfect swimsuit that makes us feel confident and stylish isn’t easy. True style wisdom lies in understanding your body shape—recognizing your strengths and the areas you want to highlight—and choosing designs that flatter your curves. Fashion may change, but the golden rule remains timeless: comfort is key to enjoying long days in the sun and surf.

Pear Shape: Enhance Your Curves

Pear-shaped bodies are defined by narrow shoulders, a defined waist, and fuller hips—think Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé. To balance your proportions, shift the visual focus upward by highlighting your upper body. Opt for simple, dark-toned or neutral-colored bottoms—like black, navy, or forest green.

For tops, embrace eye-catching details like ruffles, frills, or floral prints. These draw attention to your shoulders and bust, creating a harmonious silhouette.

Apple Shape: Define Your Silhouette and Balance Your Proportions

Apple-shaped figures often feature a slimmer waist and long legs, as seen on Kate Winslet and Drew Barrymore. Maximize your assets by choosing swimwear that emphasizes your legs and defines your upper body. Shaping one-pieces and deep V-necks are your go-to styles.

Brands like Eres and Coperni offer sleek cuts that gently contour your waist for a streamlined look. Bold colors like emerald green, ocean blue, or burgundy add summer vibrancy, helping you stand out.

Rectangle Shape: Create Curves with Clever Details

With a lean, athletic build and fewer natural curves, this body type carries an effortlessly chic charm—embodied by Cameron Diaz and Hailey Bieber. To add dimension and softness, focus on cut and detail.

Retro bikinis are a fantastic choice. Think 1950s-inspired touches: playful bows, layered ruffles, or delicate pleats. Pair them with high-cut bottoms to create the illusion of a smaller waist while adding depth and vintage allure.

Hourglass Shape: Celebrate Your Natural Curves

Blessed with balanced shoulders and hips and a cinched waist, the hourglass figure—like Kim Kardashian and Scarlett Johansson—epitomizes timeless elegance.

High-waisted bikinis are a match made in heaven. Brands like Magda Butrym and Isole&Vulcani offer retro-inspired designs that perfectly hug your waist, blending femininity and sensuality.

For one-pieces, try styles with waist belts or side cutouts to emphasize your shape with bold flair. Soft neutrals like sand and ivory create effortless beach elegance, letting you shine under the sun.
