Buy These Swimsuits Now and Wear Them Through 2019

The new year starts in January, and if you think that's not bikini season [1], well, you're wrong. Right when Resort collections drop, it feels like the supermodels and stars jet-set off to extravagant beach locales, showing us exactly what to wear for the new year [2]. We've done our research, analysing the new prints [3], silhouettes, and colourways brands are churning out, thereby finalising the biggest swimsuit trends to invest in now and wear through next Christmas. Yep, that means you can trust all of these styles to be relevant when you're on holiday [4] in March or September, and we bet you'll be just as excited to flaunt them then, too. Go ahead and read up on every swimwear design, or jump ahead to the one you're already eyeing.

Polka Dots

It's a classic print that's made its way onto so many street style outfits [22], so why not swimsuits? Here, Emily Ratajkowski wears a bikini from her own line [23], but Candice Swanepoel's a fan of the look [24], too.

Sports Bra Tops

High-leg bottoms [52] have been around for some time, but pair one with a sporty top like Sara Sampaio's, and you're straight out of the '80s [53]. These designs are fitted and functional, but when made with less fabric, probably best reserved for ladies with a small bust [54].

Ribbed or Seersucker

Is it a swimsuit or is it a bodysuit? Better yet, is it both? Hannah Bronfman shows off Hunza G's Seersucker Swimsuit [61] (£135), which is textured and offers a little more dimension than your classic maillot in lycra. Pair one of these with your cutoff shorts and wedges, and you've got way more of a look than you'd imagine.

Cheeky

Women are confident to show a little more booty in 2018, and we think that's great. While we've seen plenty of thong bikini bottoms (ahem, Lady Gaga [68]), Ashley Graham's getting the party started in her black one piece, which provides a structured one-and-done look if you prefer more top-to-bottom coverage.

From marigold to bright orange, swimsuits in these warm shades will make you glow. Think of any hue that reminds you of the sunrise, and run with it. Emily Ratajkowski's got the right idea [75], and Kaia Gerber followed suit [76].
