It’s finally that time, tropical vacations are on the horizon (no pun intended). I finally booked my getaway and, of course, one of my preferred planning activities is my packing list. When it comes to beachwear, I’m always compiling exciting trends that are summer-specific and versatile pieces I can rewear for vacation occasions.
This season it’s all about bright tones, graphic cutouts, and relaxed knitwear. A few of my favorite fashion follows have posted inspiration that has me excited to get shopping. I’ve rounded up the top six of these trends below and a few pieces I’m eye-ing to add to cart.
Abstract colorful prints were all over the runways they feel perfectly tropical. Ombré fabrics that almost feel tie-dye are prevalent in dresses and skirts for your evening drinks or dinners.
Fresh, citrus-y hues feel light and lively for warmer climates. Vacation is the perfect excuse to wear bold, bright yellows and greens.
One of the year’s resident naked-dressing trends is cutouts. Graphic shapes and unconventional cutouts are a welcome update to bodysuits, tops, and dresses for warm trips.
A more classic beach trend is white and ivory crochet pieces. Whether a sheer dress or a simple mini skirt, these pieces are versatile as a coverup or nighttime outfit.
Eyelet always feels fresh and sweet for warm-weather destinations. Flowy white blouses, swing dresses, and ruffle skirts are the ideal silhouette for this floral-adjacent print.
This is definitely a mood-boosting trend so what better place for it to shine than on vacation? Multicolor stripes are perfect for the beach whether in a fun, knit dress, easy bodysuit, or statement handbag.
