The Swim Edit: 6 Trends to Know Now
- BY Alice-Rose Perry
You know what they say: if you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready. Turns out, the same goes for swimwear.
With the fashion forecast already stretching into summer, the Borderfree editors have curated six swimwear trends before your feed catches on. From Pilates-inspired ‘clean girl’ sets to retro Malibu prints, scroll on for the styles set to be everywhere.
1.Retro Tropics
With the summer forecast pointing to retro, tropic-inspired prints, it’s time to channel a vintage Malibu state of mind. This trend reimagines playful ’80s-esque patterns with a fresh perspective (and all the same feel-good vibes).Â
2.Luxury Shine
Want to maximize the sun? Turn up the heat with reflective swimwear, guaranteed to make even the sunniest days shine 10% brighter. Think: high-shine pieces that catch every ray, with metallic hardware and liquid metallics set to dazzle a beach near you.

3.Micro Shorts and Tankinis
When you’ve got Pilates at 9 and the beach by 11. Poised to be the ‘cool girl’ set of the summer, micro shorts and tankini tops bring laid-back LA fitness energy (with a side of everyday practicality).

4.‘90s Minimalism
Sand, sea, sun. The best things in life really are simple — just like next season’s penchant for classic swimwear. With streamlined silhouettes and timeless monochrome palettes, there’s no need to leave your minimalist instincts behind.

The classic crinkle texture is back, bringing with it bubblegum brights that pop. Thanks to a magical ability to stretch and contour, this carefree collection offers custom-feeling fits in a candy-colored palette. Sweet, sculpted, and ready for summer.
