Spring Break Swimsuit Trends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bucknell chapter.

With Spring Break just around the corner, the only thing getting us through midterms and the frigid weather is bathing suit shopping. Follow the latest swimsuit trends to be the hottest fashionista on the beach!

Patterns

Bold patterns are a swimwear-must this bikini season. Get out of your skin and go for a tribal or jungle print. These fierce patterns add a little extra flair to your suit. Additionally, ethnic patterns with bright colors and glossy embellishments put on quite the swimsuit spectacular. Parade your daring patterns with confidence this spring break!

Bralette Tops  

Stylish, supportive, and set for activities! Bralette-style tops are a go-to favorite for the girl who seeks a trendy, yet comfortable style. The strong straps and extra coverage around the bust offer the support and ease equivalent to that of your favorite sports bra. Whether you’re playing beach volleyball, chicken, surfing, or going for a jog, this sweet and simple look will help you avoid your biggest fear of your top falling off and accidentally leaving it behind!

Crop Tops

Flat-chested? Don’t worry! The crop top bikini trend is a fabulous distraction from lack of cleavage. Pick one with mesh, zippers, a wild print, or even just a classic bold color.

Wrap Bikini

The wrap bikini has taken over swimwear in 2015. These tops offer a bit more coverage over the rib drift, which results in the treasured illusion of an elongated, toned torso. Another perk is that these tops are completely adjustable, so they offer maximum support and coverage for all bust sizes. These sexy tops give you a way to cover up just a little bit more skin, but without having to wear a one piece.

Black

Who said black on spring break has to stop at your LBD in the club? Black is classic no matter the age, era, or season. Not only will black bathing suits attract the most UVA rays to make sure you score the perfect tan, but black suits are also the most flattering color on all body types. Sleek, chic, and tan? What a win!

High-Waisted Bottoms

These retro style bottoms are the ultimate 2015 swimwear style piece. Caught by surprise, these bottoms cross your torso at the tiniest part of your waist, highlighting your fabulous figure. Choose one with a bold pattern or with cutouts, to expose your hips and show off some skin.

Bad Tan-Line One Pieces

 

Feeling conservative? Trend alert: one-pieces are IN! Even more fashion-forward are one-pieces that give off bad tan lines! Go for a sexy one shoulder, or a daring cut out. This trend is definitely worth the marks.
