This 2022 Swimsuit Trend Is So Sultry: Here’s Where To Buy
Strappy bikinis and one-pieces are the swimwear of the summer.
Whether you prefer bikinis or one-pieces, when it comes to swimsuit shopping, it’s important to buy what makes you feel the most confident. And if that just so happens to be one of the season’s top swimwear trends, then that’s all the better! Last year, pastels and off-the-shoulder bathing suits had their moment. But now summer 2022’s swimsuit trends are all about the underboob, subtle sparkle, and — drumroll, please — strappy bikinis and swimsuits.
Sultry and resort ready, this string-trimmed swimwear definitely makes a serious statement — and one that celebs like Lizzo and Kylie Jenner can’t seem to get enough of. The design is an unexpected way to show off an extra bit of skin (remember to pack sunscreen!), and the straps can even be used to accentuate the waist and figure. Plus, with options for both strappy bikinis and one-pieces, what’s not to love?
