Animal prints have become a giant trend for Summer 2019 — in nearly every shape, form, colour, and size — but no category seems quite as fun to play with in leopard form than swimwear. Sure, leopards themselves might not exactly be ocean-dwelling creatures, but you sure can be. That is, if you're armed with some of the most popular printed waterproof wears for the coming warm-weather months.
In the world of fashion, leopard is a neutral. Sure, it's a bold and loud print, but it's so classic and elegant that it can be easily mixed with other prints, bright colours, or stand alone among other essentials as well. And swimwear is no exception. Don't believe me? Ask some of the most stylish celebs when it comes to beach-bound looks. From Emily Ratajkowski to Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian and Salma Hayek alike, it's clear that stylish It girls love their swimwear (and have quite the collection to show off). And they've all given a resounding double thumbs up to the leopard swimwear trend.
Ahead, find some of my favourite swimwear inspired by the giant printed feline, and shop the best of the best, just in time for Summer.
