4 Swimsuit Trends You Should Already Be Stocking Up On For 2020

So far, 2020's biggest swimsuit trends [1] are shaping up to be exactly how we expected them: highly influenced by the Kardashian-Jenners [2] et al. But rather than simply rounding up all the cutout one pieces and sexy two-pieces celebrities have been wearing on their mid-Winter getaways (don't get us wrong, that's a great way to predict what is to come) we tapped some of our favourite swim brands and took their opinions into account.

Zimmermann, Summersalt, Solid & Striped, and Lisa Marie Fernandez all spoke to POPSUGAR about the swimsuits that are bound to be bestsellers for 2020, and some of our favourite styles made the cut. You probably won't be surprised to find that snake print is still all the rage — it's probably the most shoppable of the trends listed below — but ruffles are seeing a resurgence now too. Rather than simply finishing a sleeve, these are fashioned in new ways, in the form of an asymmetrical sash down the front bodice or fluttering along the hemline at the hips.

With a major shift toward eco-friendly habits, vegan leather swimwear is also on the rise, which makes for an edgy look you can really feel good about. Finally, the scarf-like, vintage effect fever isn't going anywhere. (Think: the type of graphic prints you'd see on retro silk hair bandanas.) Scroll down to start shopping for the new year, and watch this space as we add more trends throughout 2020.

According to Lisa Marie Fernandez, "Sustainability is a major and important movement, and it's an important practice at Lisa Marie Fernandez. But since it's my girl, it's also sexy. One of my favourite styles presently is our Goldwyn Vegan Leather Bikini, that has that '50s lingerie vibe. I love unexpected fabrications that are also still completely swimmable."
