Top 5 Swimsuit Trends of Summer 2022

The hottest swimsuit trends this summer are based on the SS22 runway trends. In stores, you can find fashionable cut-outs, green hues, psychedelic wave patterns, or crocheted fabrics. Discover which trend suits you best.

Green Swimsuits

Green is the undeniable color of the spring-summer 2022 season. Seen prominently on the Supriya Lele runway, with transparent dresses and skirts, as well as opaque pants with cut-outs. At Rejina Pyo, green dominated shirts, midi dresses, and handbags, while at Molly Goddard, it graced delicate ankle ballet flats. This vibrant green looks stunning on any garment. The optimistic shade quickly moved from runways to streets. How to style it? This season, stylists love mixing different shades of green in one outfit. It also looks great with beige, brown, and natural tones like white and black.

You can find green swimsuits in almost all clothing networks, both one-piece and bikinis or trikinis. The trendiest shades are juicy grass green, pistachio, and lime. In addition to the green swimsuit, you can wear fashionable accessories of this color: a hat, a transparent beach skirt, or sunglasses.

Plaid Swimsuits

The beloved summer pattern of Brigitte Bardot has returned with a bang – the tiny check adds a retro charm to many styles from the SS22 runways. Perfectly matched plaid sets from Brandon Maxwell, Michael Kors, and Jacquemus prove that in this case, more is better. At MSGM, you could see how to weave the plaid motif into a monochrome styling. Luisa Spagioli also chose to combine tartan with other motifs. The gentle nostalgic pattern adds a girly charm to stylizations.

How to style plaid? For a plaid bikini or one-piece swimsuit, choose accessories in one of the colors of the plaid pattern. If you’re bold, you can mix it with a floral motif or other types of nets – your imagination is the limit.

Crocheted Swimsuits

Knitted fabrics are a tribute to the growing craftcore trend. On the SS22 runways, they appeared as crocheted tops, handbags, bras, dresses, and even pants. From ultra-chic monochrome dresses by Alberta Ferretti to multicolored floral patchwork by Anna Sui, to zigzag patterns by Jil Sander.

Loose fabrics with large eyelets are perfect for bold tops (often worn over blouses or dresses), handbags imitating fishing nets. Crocheted with thin, dense knitting, it is even suitable for bikinis. Of course, it won’t be the most comfortable form of swimsuit, but the crocheted bikini definitely has its 5 minutes of fame.

Cut-Out Swimsuits

The festive trends this year focus on sex appeal. Hence the fashion for all kinds of cut-outs, which usually reveal hidden parts of the body. Once associated with not very stylish teenage outfits from nightclubs, today cut-out motifs indicate excellent knowledge of trends. Designers like David Koma, Prabal Gurung, Pat Bo, or Christian Siriano were not embarrassed on the runways, showing holes, or rather ingenious cuts of clothing. Scandalous? Maybe. Sexy? Absolutely. And thanks to the latest cycle of fashion shows, we predict that next season, cut-outs will become even bolder.

So if cut-outs revealing the body are to adorn our everyday tops or jumpsuits, we should not be ashamed to show a little bare skin on the beach. One-piece suits with cut-outs in unusual places will undoubtedly attract attention. They look great in one rich color.

Psychedelic Wave Swimsuits

This trend is either loved or hated, but regardless of the position, it cannot be denied that references to the psychedelic 60s and 70s dominated the SS22 season runways. It’s no surprise that after about 18 months at home, without the possibility of fashionable madness, designers approach their new collections as a form of escapism. Brandon Maxwell interpreted the psychedelic trend most literally. This time, the clothes were decorated with candies and black-and-white psychedelic waves.

In popular online stores, the continuation of this runway trend is pants, tops, hats, and swimsuits with a psychedelic wave pattern – usually in shades of purple, pink, and blue. Complement the swimsuit with accessories in one of the shades of the colorful wavy pattern.
