Our 2026 Swimwear Trend Predictions

Swimwear is changing, bringing together style and function in smarter ways. New designs that will move with you, offer support, and work well beyond the water. Here are the swimwear trends we are forecasting for 2026.

Support Is the New Standard

Flimsy swimsuits are becoming a thing of the past. More women want suits that feel secure but still look good, like underwire bralettes and structured tops that keep their shape whether you’re paddling out, hiking to a cove, or grabbing tacos after. Support now means confidence, not restriction.

Design With an Edge

Clean lines are still popular, but designers are taking more risks. One-shoulder crops, asymmetric cuts, plunging necklines, and intentional cut-outs are all making an impact. These styles feel bold without being over the top. They’re made to stand out when you’re on the move, not just when you’re standing still. Swimwear can be both unique and easy to wear.

Texture You Can Feel

Flat fabrics are being replaced by textured ones. Ribbed finishes, crinkle fabrics, subtle sheen, and soft knits add depth and a fresh look that still feels beachy. These pieces look great whether they’re wet, sun-dried, or layered. Even our ruched sun shirts fit this trend. They’re practical, but the texture makes them feel stylish, not just functional.

Two Suits in One

Reversible swimwear isn’t just smart; it’s practical. You get more value, more flexibility, and less to pack. Flip your suit for a new look based on your day, mood, or plans. It’s all about giving you options without making things complicated.

Swim That Goes Beyond the Water

Swimwear isn’t just for the beach anymore. People are styling suits with linen pants, wearing them under oversized shirts, or pairing them with skirts for sunset dinners. The line between swimwear and resort wear is starting to blur, and we love it. These pieces are made to go from the ocean to the street with ease.

In the end, the best swimwear fits your life, not the other way around. Better support, thoughtful design, textured fabrics, and versatile styles all lead to one thing: swimwear made for real movement, real adventure, and real women who spend time in and out of the ocean.
