There is nothing like the feeling of finding a truly great swimsuit. Our favourite bikinis and one-pieces are often worn all summer long and are integral in creating sweet summer memories. When you find a piece that fits perfectly, feels good and looks great, it's easier than ever to spend long days lounging around the pool or relaxing at the beach. Each summer brings change and a chance to reset, so start the season off right by picking out a rejuvenating new swimsuit.

From daring cut-outs to classic high waisted bikinis and feminine floral prints, this summer's swimwear trends have something for everyone. Here we’ve compiled a list of the hottest summer swimwear trends and matched their look to the energy of some of our favourite destinations. So, whether you’re after the sophisticated elegance of the Amalfi Coast or the colourful flamboyance of Malibu, we’ve got you covered with a swimsuit (and accessories!) to match.

Amalfi Coast

There aren’t many places more enticing than the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast. Sophisticated, elegant and luxurious, it’s no surprise that so many Aussies want to bring that energy back to our shores. To capture the look of the Italian coastal haven, we recommend an elegant swimsuit like the postcard-perfect Picnic Print Bandeau One Piece, which is marked by a minimalistic design and the use of light colours, especially white! The Amalfi Coast is known for minimal swimwear, which makes it versatile and easily paired with a variety of cover ups. We like the pairing of a bright hat, fashionable sunglasses and some gorgeous sandals.

Malibu

Known for its celebrities, mansions, colourful fashion and wide sandy beaches, there aren’t many places as flamboyantly fantastic as Malibu. If you’re dying to wear pink, this might be the summer to embrace your inner Barbie with a Malibu-inspired swimsuit. A bikini is your best bet, and it should incorporate some pink (the more the better!). Accessorise with anything big, bright and colourful – our personal picks are to match with some gorgeous pink sandals and a bucket hat. Top it off with a shimmering necklace and your summer will radiate with the relaxed glamour of a Californian paradise, or Barbie Dreamhouse.

French Riviera

The style of the French Riviera is marked by a retro elegance. It’s timeless, simplistic and ever-so appealing; it’s the Audrey Hepburn of swimwear fashion. Defined by clean lines, understated tones and nautical influences – it’s classy, without being pretentious. If this is what you’re after, we recommend wearing a swimsuit that will stand out from the crowd, such as a daring one piece with cut-outs. Pair with a classic wide brim hat, in black or white of course, and some gold accessories and you’ll be the very definition of summertime sophistication.

Phi Phi Islands

The Phi Phi Islands are a tropical paradise. Famous for their picturesque beaches, lush jungle, incredible views and coral reefs, they truly might be heaven on earth. Naturally, the style is joyous, colourful, carefree and floral. If you want to embody the Southeast Asian paradise, choose a swimsuit that radiates tropical vibrancy – our pick is a Ruched Cup Underwire One Piece with a colourful floral pattern. We recommend pairing with bright accessories, such as some white pearls, bags and sandals.
