With summer just around the corner in the United States - and with people traveling to tropical climates around the world - it’s time for fun in the sun. If you’re looking for the perfect bikini or one-piece to add to your wardrobe, look for some of these stunning swimwear trends making their rounds across the globe.

Athletic Cuts

You don’t have to be an athlete to get on board the athletic bikini trend. These suits range in style and shape, but most feature neutral colors or color blocking and wide straps or bands. The Clifton 2nd Top combines the strappy athletic look with a bit of dazzling sex appeal. You can pair it with the Clifton 2nd Bottom, which features a wide, mid-rise waist strap and a cheeky booty cut that flatters almost every body. Both the top and bottom are available in flattering black or head-turning baby blue.

Minimum Coverage Cups

Topless sunbathing continues to grow in popularity in many parts of the world as women continue to embrace their freedom. If topless sunbathing is still frowned upon on your beach of choice, or if you want some barely-there coverage, the Clifton 3rd Floral Top is ideal. Tiny blue plumbago or pink bougainvillea flowers adorn this absolutely beautiful top, and because it’s a string bikini, you can adjust for as much (or as little) coverage as you’d like. Wear it alongside the Clifton 3rd Floral Bottom, which can be tied as high or as low on the hips as you’d like.

Mix-and-Match Colors and Patterns

While it might seem simpler to purchase a full bikini, one of the hottest trends for 2023 involves mixing and matching prints, patterns, and colors to produce some visual interest. For example, you could pair the blue Clifton 2nd Top with a black matching bottom or vice-versa. Or, if you like a different shape for your bikini bottoms, pair the beautiful V-shaped Clifton 1st Bottom in black or baby blue with the top of your choice. There’s no limit to the possibilities, so have fun and express yourself.

High-Cut Swimsuits

While bikinis are the swimwear of choice for billions of women around the world, one-piece suits offer modest coverage with a flirty and fun vibe. This summer, it’s all about the high cut, especially in the leg area. The Clifton 4th One Piece features an above-the-hip leg cutout, a plunging halter neckline, and a tummy-flattering ruched middle. You’ll still show some skin in the back with its high-cut thong style. Wear it solo to catch some sun or pull on your most comfortable denim jeans to go enjoy some nightlife.

Swimwear trends change with every passing year, so there’s a good chance you may already have a few on-trend pieces in your wardrobe. Otherwise, look for athletic cuts, minimum coverage cups, and high-cut form, and don’t be afraid to mix and match your patterns, solids, and prints. Every garment mentioned is sustainably and ethically made in Cape Town, Africa, and every purchase helps to support the local community.
