Top 5 Swimsuit Trends of 2022
1. Fun Features, such as belts and/or gold accesories
Belted Swimsuits are not only chic, but they cinch you in the waist and create the illusion of an hourglass figure so they are also very form flattering. Some designs incorporate an actual belt whereas others rely on different materials/ textures/ colors to create the optical illusion of a belt.
Another key trend this Autumn is the addition of gold (or silver) pieces that look as though you are wearing some of your favorite jewelry poolside!
Have a look at our favourite picks below.

Red Belted Seashore Swimsuit from Icon Swim
2 High-waisted Bottoms
This is one of my favorite trends as not only are they really comfortable but they also help to flatten the tummy, disguise any love handles and give a great hourglass silhouette. Some high-waisted bikini bottoms even come with built-in tummy control.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces:
High Waist Bottoms from Luli Fama 
Samoa High Waist Bikini Set by Icon Swim 
Molly High Rise Bikini Bottom from 93 Play Street
3 All tied up!
A stringy bikini works for just about all occasions and is always a good idea! This year, designers have extended the ‘tied-up’ trend to one-piece silhouettes too and have added eye-catching details, such as gold details, ruching and eye-catching colors and prints.
Make sure to pick pieces with adjustable ties to ensure the perfect fit!

4 Cut-Outs
The “cut-out” is another regular repeat trend, as it is flattering on most figures, and it’s a great way to put an innovative twist on a classic shape.
Cut-outs can be in many places, but one of the most flattering cut-out trends is the monokini, which when you find the perfect cut will be sure to give you the perfect hour-glass body shape.

5 Metallics
All that glitters is a great way to add a little night-time elegance to your beach look! This year, metallics are back, but in a slightly subdued way! Look for understated gold and silver shimmers and subtle pastel metallics.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces:
One Piece in Metallic Powder Blue from Luli Fama 
Rihanna Rib Slide Triangle from Nookie 
Cosita Buena Bustier Top and Ruched Back Bottom from Luli Fama
