As we prep for Summer, we have our eyes on a swimwear trend or two (or eight!) that we can't wait to get our hands on. This season, when it comes to our bathing suits of the bikini variety, we've seen nearly every memorable fashion decade emerge in one way or another. There are exaggerated silhouettes from the '60s, tortoise hardware from the '70s, neons from the '80s, and even ruching from the late '90s and early aughts. So, as you start to shop for the best season under the sun (quite literally), consider these eight bikini trends that are about to be absolutely everywhere — and the pieces we're shopping right now to get us in the beachside mood.

The late-'90s trend that, quite frankly, really has it's roots in the 1960s, is back for it's third circle around the sun. We love lover-line tops that really let the textured ruching shine.
