Summer 2013 Swimsuit Trends

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

As the weather warms up, girls everywhere start to prepare for the summer beach adventures to come. If you’re looking for a bathing suit to wear this summer, check out some of the following trends as seen at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim:

 

1. Retro/Vintage

Runways featured swimwear with high-waisted bottoms and bustier-like tops in the retro spirit.

2. Fringe

Fringe is also a big trend this summer, as seen on these swimsuits. Not only is the fringe trendy, but it can also help you accentuate whatever parts of your body you’re most proud of or want to emphasize. Fringe has also been appearing on shirts, shorts and even shoes.

3. Digital Prints

Digitally printed swimsuits have been trending a lot on the runway, especially tribal print. These specific swimsuits are often very intricate and have very cool, often eye-catching patterns.
