As athleisure continues to dominate the fashion world, swimwear designers are also embracing a sportier side. Take New York-based Flagpole Swim, for instance, which offers retro, scuba-style one-pieces featuring modern colors and cut-outs.

The Baywatch remake doesn't come out until next summer, but designers are one step ahead by making lifeguard-inspired one-pieces higher on the legs and lower on the back.

The popular hem treatment has recently shown up on mini skirts, shorts, dresses—but we like it best featured on the edges of swimwear.

Cut-outs are getting more original this summer, as this suit proves. The front looks like a bikini, while the back features coverage similar to a one-piece. 

The crafty look of crochetd bikinis is back and gaining even more traction this season because designers are finally making options (like this one) that can actually be worn in the water.

Maybe it's because the summer games are taking place soon, or maybe it's simply because this summer is boiling hot, but whatever the reason swim briefs are back in full force and we're okay with it. 

A classic pair of bathing shorts is always in style regardless of the current trends. The catch with these? Technology. Designers aim for classic designs with dry-fast fabrics, laser-cut drain holes, and micro-mesh inner trunks to ensure active functionality with a classic aesthetic. 

Graphic prints are getting more sophisticated this summer with bolder colors and designs, elevating style in and out of the water. 

It's a trend we've seen in full force on ready-to-wear, and it's making its transition into swimwear. These prove that you don’t need much more than your swim trunks to make a statement. 

Color-blocking continues to be a big trend, and it's the perfect alternative for adding an edgy touch while staying totally classic.
