Wave goodbye to your winter coats for the next few months and welcome summer with open arms. It’s like you can almost feel the sand at your fingertips and the warm breeze in your hair. Now that the long awaited bikini season is on the horizon, you’re probably planning to snap up the best swimwear you can buy. But where do you start? Well, we’re here to guide you in the right direction. Top up your tan in style with an update on swimwear trends for 2015, featuring the best swimsuits that are currently on the market.

Multi-straps

Caged one-pieces and strappy bikinis are without a doubt a huge trend this season. The added bonus is that the strappy bottoms cover will cover up your rib drift, giving the illusion of an elongated torso.

Sporty

The sports-luxe trend has been featured on the catwalk for a while, so it was bound to be incorporated into our swimwear. Follow the likes of Alexander Wang and purchase swimsuits with mesh panelling. If you’re on the hunt for something a little more feminine, take inspiration from River Island’s neon swimsuits with structured piping.

Boho

We’re talking flounce tops, patchwork, tassels and crochet. This New Look flounce bikini top and black crochet set from Matches Fashion seem like the perfect start.

Cropped tops

If it’s cropped, then it’s in! As they are stylish and more supportive, it’s a win-win. These high-scale, monochrome Topshop and Aztec Mara Hoffman and neon Boohoo sets are just the start, there are plenty more high end and high street finds on sale.

Long sleeves

Channel your inner surf chick in this season’s trend of long sleeved wetsuits and swim tops. It’ll be hard to go wrong with stylish swimwear that protects your skin when you’re in the water.
