Happy February! We hope this blog finds you with a warm-weather vacation coming soon. 🌴👀
Is it just us, or did January feel like it lasted forever? Between the freezing temps and gloomy days, we’ve been seriously daydreaming about the warm getaways we have planned this year.
Krista is already gearing up for her trip to Palm Springs, and let’s just say, we’re counting down the days until we can swap sweaters for swimsuits and resortwear!!!
If you have a spring getaway on the horizon, now is the perfect time to start curating your swimsuit and resortwear wardrobe. We’ve rounded up some of the best swimsuits to pack for your next trip, along with a sneak peek at this year’s must-have resortwear trends. From breezy beach cover-ups to effortlessly chic vacation looks, we’ve got all the style inspiration you need!
Hot Trend: One-Shoulder Swimwear + Florals!
One-shoulder swimsuits and floral prints are two of the biggest swimwear trends we’re seeing this year, and we are so here for it!!!
We both love a good one-shoulder moment. It’s a super flattering style that highlights the shoulders (a feature that tends to age well!) and helps draw attention upward. Whether it’s a chic bow detail or a sporty cutout, these styles add just the right amount of interest to a swimsuit while keeping it effortlessly stylish. Plus, they often come with great bum coverage—a major win!
Floral and tropical prints are another must-have this season. Not only are they fun and eye-catching, but they also work wonders when it comes to flattering your shape. A bold print can act as a natural camouflage, helping to smooth and balance proportions. Krista’s floral swimsuit, for example, has a square neckline that provides great coverage, while the ruffled straps create a subtle “shoulder pad” effect for a more sculpted look.
A monochrome floral, like the green one we love, has a modern feel and features flattering ruching to define the waist. Both styles are available in multiple colors and, best of all, they’re affordable!
Hot Trend: Tankini Revival!
This year, we’re expecting to see a major tankini revival!!
Sometimes, you want the convenience of a two-piece without feeling overexposed, and a well-fitted tankini offers just that. We recently tried some styles from Tommy Bahama and were pleasantly surprised by how modern and flattering they felt!
Today’s tankinis are far from frumpy. Think sleek silhouettes, fun prints that feel fresh (not dated), and strategically placed seams that smooth and shape.
No skimpy cuts, but no granny panties either! Sporty yet chic, this is one trend we’re excited to see back in rotation.
Coverup Classics!
Now, let’s talk coverups! We’ll be sharing some more luxurious resortwear pieces below, but first, we wanted to highlight some accessible options that are effortlessly chic and always in style. You can never go wrong with a classic sarong skirt or a pair of denim shorts over your swimsuit. These pieces have been around forever for a reason!!!
Not only are they budget-friendly, but they’re also timeless, meaning you can wear them season after season without worrying about trends.
We totally get it if you love experimenting with new styles, but if you’re looking for something easy, versatile, and foolproof, these tried-and-true coverups are the way to go!
Resortwear Trend Forecast: Sheer & Mesh Coverups
We know this one won’t be for everyone, but sheer and mesh cover-ups are everywhere this season, and we’re loving the effortlessly chic vibe they bring to resortwear!!
Whether it’s a breezy maxi dress, a crochet-knit set, or a netted sarong, these lightweight layers add just the right amount of coverage while still letting your swimsuit shine through. They’re perfect for throwing on after a beach day or for transitioning from the pool to a sunset cocktail hour. Plus, with so many styles, from minimal sheer slip dresses to bold, embroidered mesh designs. you can find one that fits your personal style.
If you’re looking for an easy way to elevate your vacation wardrobe, a sheer cover-up is a must-have!
Resortwear Trend Forecast: Two-Piece Sets
Two-piece sets are the ultimate blend of comfort and style when it comes to resortwear cover-ups. These lightweight, breathable sets offer just the right amount of coverage while still feeling effortless and beachy.
The best part? They transition seamlessly from the pool to brunch or a sunset stroll, making them a versatile addition to any vacation wardrobe. Whether you go for a neutral, boho-inspired set or a bold, colorful knit, this trend is an easy way to look polished while staying cool.
Plus, they pack well and don’t wrinkle, which is always a win when traveling!!!
Resortwear Trend Forecast: Bold Tropical Prints
Bold and tropical prints are taking over resortwear this year, bringing vibrant, vacation-ready energy to swimsuits, cover-ups, and flowy dresses.
With oversized palm leaves, lush florals, eye-catching colors like green, orange, and blue, these statement prints aren’t just fun, they’re also super flattering, helping to create balance and camouflage areas you may not want to emphasize.
Whether you’re rocking a printed swimsuit, a breezy maxi dress, or a matching set, these bold patterns instantly elevate your look and make it feel like vacation. If you’re looking to add a little extra personality to your resortwear wardrobe, tropical prints are the way to go!
Finding the perfect swimsuits + resortwear can feel like a challenge, but we hope this guide makes it a little easier! If you’re on the hunt for new vacation outfits, these trends are definitely worth trying. We’ve seen them work for different body types, and they’re as stylish as they are functional. Don’t let the stress of packing take away from the excitement of your trip, there’s a perfect swimsuit + resortwear look for everyone! Happy shopping and enjoy your getaway!
