As bikini lovers would say, summer and the 2026 swimwear season are just around the corner. With it comes a fresh wave of styles that are making serious moves. Following the trends that have been building throughout 2024 and 2025, 2026 is shaping up to be a season led by confidence, structure, colour, and playful silhouettes.

Here’s a curated guide to the must-know swimwear and bikini trends you’ll see everywhere next summer.

1. Underwire bikinis — support meets style

Supportive silhouettes continue to make waves. “The underwire bikini continues to grow as women gravitate toward supportive, lingerie-inspired silhouettes that still feel minimal,” Vogue explains. Clean cups and refined shaping give structure without compromising comfort. That’s exactly why underwire tops are becoming a staple in every summer wardrobe.

Whether paired with Brazilian-style or high-waist bottoms, the underwire bikini top is both functional and chic.

2. Straps: Lay it on thick 

Next summer, straps are not just straps—they’re a statement of athletic femininity. Strong, confident lines offer lift and support, while still reading sleek and considered. Whether you’re choosing a wider-strap bikini top or a one-piece with bold lines, this trend feels modern yet effortless.

3. Mix and match meets colour blocking

Why settle for a single look? If 2025 was about cohesive sets, 2026 opens the door wide to creative combinations. Mix-and-match colour stories are becoming more expressive. What that means: refined colour blocking and tonal pairings that feel intentional and stylish.

This trend lets you personalise your bikini set while still feeling polished — pairing different hues, textures, or pieces to create a look that feels purposefully put together.

4. Monokinis and cut-out one-pieces

For those loyal to the one-piece, the 2026 swimwear trends bring a more daring proposition. Monokinis and cut-out heavy one-pieces add interest and shape, showing skin in the most strategic and stylish ways. Cut-outs don’t just reveal — they elevate. This trend is driven by Hailey Bieber, showing off several monokinis. (Vouge)

5. Mismatched sets 

Sometimes a trend comes along that feels both intuitive and freeing, and mismatched bikini sets are exactly that. What used to be a happy accident — pairing a well-fitting top with a completely different bottom — has become a fashion-forward choice for 2026. Mixing prints, solids, and textures opens up endless possibilities, turning your swim wardrobe into a versatile playground.

The 2026 swimwear season isn’t about one-off gimmicks — it’s about pieces that feel considered, wearable, and stylish. Whether it’s the support of an underwire bikini, the confidence of thick straps, or the playful personalization, it's all about swimwear that supports how you move, feel, and express.

So when you’re planning your next collection or refreshing your summer wardrobe, consider not just what’s on trend — but what feels right for you.
