Swim Trend: Floral and Botanic Prints

Swimwear takes a turn for the feminine with botanic and floral prints this season. Next week, we'll be going into depth with our coverage of this flower power trend and how it's affecting clothing, food, and beverages. 

For now, check out our top picks after the jump, as well as the rest of our swim trends and endless summer coverage!

Swim Trend: Vintage Look

With only a few days left of our endless summer/beach/rockaways coverage, we're winding down our swimwear trend reports. Today's key trend is based on vintage styling and silhouettes, with modern fabrics and updates to each cut.

We especially love this trend that gives a sexy nod to pinup girls while still maintaining a generous amount of coverage. Check out the rest of our picks after the jump!

Swim Trend: Contrast Piping and Straps

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! We're back this week with continued coverage of our endless-summer/surf/beach/Rockaways trends.

Swim Trend: Cutouts and Lattice

You already know all about the trend of cutouts in clothing (and an example of how it's affected music with "glitches"), so it'll come as no surprise that this major trend has spilled over into swimwear. Some of the styles are very directly influenced by cutouts, yet others have been translated into lattice work or ladder backs.

While we're slightly dubious of the interesting tan lines you'll receive, we think these styles will be worth it; besides, SPF1000 guys!
