2017 Swimwear Trends

Lacing & Strappy Details
The bondage look is alive and well with many collections featuring strappy accents, cut-outs and lacing details.

Watercult swimsuits in the Summer Solids collection feature deep-v zip copper necklines or lacing details, while the rio brief has hip cut-outs to show a little more skin and the halter bikini top has a wrap-around effect with stylish copper rings.

Seafolly has a embraced the strappy trend with wrap front bandeaus with tassel-like trims to pair with tie side bottoms with extra long ties in the Seafolly collection, or multi-strap and lattice backs and sides on hipsters in the Optic Wave, Modern Tribe, Kashmir and Block Party collections.

The Naida from Miradonna takes the strappy detail up to the neck in this high neck swimsuit with a strappy lattice detail, while Castaway in Blue or Pink from Profile Blush by Gottex keeps it simple for its bikini and brief with a single wide strap below the bust and at the hip.


High Neck Tops
The high neck top has emerged as a recent summer swim hit. With an athletic appearance, giving more coverage to the bust and showcasing your shoulders, high neck bikini and one-piece swimsuits are back this season in a variety of colours and prints.

From Freya, you can choose the sheer crochet in the Sundance collection, with bikini or swimsuit options, or a high-neck bikini in mesh with a reptile-inspired print from Evolve. Fiesta from Cyell is brightly coloured with vibrant shades of blue, orange and yellow, perfect for your beach or pool party.


Wrap Bikini
Wrap bikinis look chic and casual with soft gathers like the Wrap Front Bralette and Bandeau from the Kashmir collection. The adjustable tie-backs with a strappy look, wrap around the torso for a customised fit. Strapping details like that of Optic Wave from Seafolly and Castaway in Blue and Pink from Profile Blush by Gottex, and Future Folk and Summer Solids from Watercult also have wrap-inspired styling with details at the rib. Multiway wrap ties can also be found on the Miles Wrap top by Pain de Sucre with the bandeau able to be styled in various ways for versatile looks.
