The trend this year: bathing suits for your body. Fashion magazines and stores are targeting different body types and providing the best suit for the best fit. Promoting a happy and healthy body, bathing suits are made to compliment the parts of you that you like the best!

Color trends: pinks and polka-dots. Across the board, fashion trends show that those are in style right now. Yellows and pinks contrast each other nicely, allowing for a more casual and cute look. Turquoise and lime green are also very popular colors.

Accessories are just as important as a perfect suit. Having a matching beach bag, towel, and cover-ups seem to be the trend this year, as it was in recent years. Popular stores such as American Eagle and Hollister sport swimsuits with all the matching gear right there in the store, making it easier for the eager buyer to make a purchase.

For cover garments, sweats are encouraged! As hot as it is out there, casual sweat pants to cover the bathing suit is the in-thing. Sarongs are also very popular. Tied casually to the left or right hip, they are very fashionable.

Hats and sunglasses are another story. With the big, rounded sunglasses coming back into style, big, rounded hats are as well. Casual, yet classy, beach hats not only block out the sun from your eyes, but also allow you to walk the beach in style.
