01
High-Leg One-Pieces

High-Leg One-Pieces

Warning: this scandalous style isn't for the faint of heart. One-pieces have gotten a major revamp when it comes to their silhouettes. There's been a resurgence in the '90s high-leg trend and we guarantee you'll be seeing it everywhere. If you're brave enough, try this Asos High Leg One Piece ($25).

02
Off-the-Shoulder

Off-the-Shoulder

We all know that off-the-shoulder dresses and shirts are Summer staples, and now the same can be said about swimsuits. These swimsuit tops can also double as crop tops — just throw on a pair of shorts after your dip in the pool and you're good to go. One great example? This Milly Cabana Sirolo Bandeau Top ($100).

03
Cutouts

Cutouts

We know what you're thinking: "Are these tan lines going to be worth it?" The answer is a resounding yes, yes, and yes! There's been a rise of one-pieces featuring cutouts of some sort and people can't seem to get enough of this trend. Give this Shoshanna Sporty Monokini ($198) a whirl.

04
High-Waisted Bikinis

High-Waisted Bikinis

Always a classic, high-waisted bikinis are back in full force this year. This retro style is a great way to cover any problem areas and helps to elongate your legs. High-waisted two-pieces were basically invented to give you the perfect hourglass shape. Go for a bold print like this Allihop Devon Seamed High-Waisted Bikini ($48).

05
Scoop-Back One-Pieces

Scoop-Back One-Pieces

Like the high-leg, the scoop-back one-piece is another '90s trend that doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Choose one with a fun quote on the front to let people know what you're thinking without having to say a word. If you have vacation on your mind, slip into this Aerie Super Scoop One Piece ($50).

For something simple yet fashion-forward, wear this South Beach Navy Low-Back Swimsuit ($29).

06
Crocheted Bikinis

Crocheted Bikinis

Seen on It girls like Hailey Baldwin, crocheted bikinis are making a huge splash this season. This figure-hugging material helps emphasize all of your curves. Pretend like you're on an exotic island in this Kiini Yaz Bikini Top ($165).

This Boohoo Gingham Tie Side Swimsuit ($39) features a statement cutout in the center.

08
Ruffles

Ruffles

During the F/W '17 collections, we saw designer after designer send romantic ruffled designs down the runway, and you can expect to see this trend with swimwear as well. Ruffles are also a great way to add some flair to an otherwise basic one-piece. Give this flirty style a try by wearing the Marysia Swim Palisades Ruffle Maillot ($350) swimsuit.

This off-the-shoulder Adriana Degreas Ruffled Swimsuit ($537) is a fun way to try two trends at once.
