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.

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:


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.
