Summer makes the perfect time to add some new bathing suits to your wardrobe and 2022 brings forth a fresh batch of fun swim trends to try. Expect statement-making silhouettes, sassy cut-outs and mood-enhancing patterns to enter your swimwear repertoire.

To help get you started I’ve rounded up 7 must have 2022 swimwear trends you’ll be seeing everywhere this year—and where to start shopping them now.

Flowers & Ruffles

Flowers and ruffles are so romantic and what a great way to emphasize your collarbones, waist line or desire for a summer fling.

Strappy

While the tie bikini has been around for decades, it’s getting a modern update this season with simple single straps that wrap around the body.

Sparkly

If you’ve ever wanted to sparkle in the sun, the glitter and sequin bikini trend will make your dreams come true.

A sparkly number bring hints of glitz and glam back and is a must-have for any beach repertoire. It’s the perfect chance to take your swimwear from day to night with ease.

Retro Revival

Throwback prints and high waist are all over swimwear. Checkerprints and mod swirls are two of the trending motifs this summer and they make for an extra cute statement suit.

Three-piece sets

Already hugely popular on social media, these bikinis include an extra coordinating piece like a kimono, hat, skirt, sarong, pants, and more in the same fabric.

This is yet another cool way to wear the matchy-matchy outfits that have been popularized recently.

I personally love the idea of having an easy item to throw over a swimsuit to transition from a beach look to something that feels like a more finished outfit.

Sporty

Surf-inspired bikinis complete with functional details and colour blocking are on the rise for Summer 2022.

Brights

Yes, they are still here, eye-catching colours, which aren’t quite as vivid as neon shades but so incredibly easy to pull off. Opt for electric green, hot pink, prince purple, vibrant orange or even Baywatch red and you’ll be sitting pretty all summer long.
