SWIM TRENDS

Miami Heat

Swimwear was hotter than hot at this year’s Miami Swim Week. And so were the newest trends, which designers presented on the runways and trade shows held in Miami Beach July 18–23.

From scuba-inspired styles to ethnic chic, swimwear has turned into an art form.

There were plenty of neoprene, intricate strapping, original artwork and high-tech construction. Surf-inspired looks and rashguards are the new must haves while mesh fabrications, crochet and black-and-white color palettes are key for the season.

Look for sporty activewear, tropical island kitsch and sexy Bond Girl looks to heat up the beach this season.
