Keep scrolling to see and shop the swim trends the chicest girls in Africa are wearing, aka the only swimwear trends you need to know this summer.
High-Cut
High-cut swimwear that sits higher on the waist and shows off more leg has been trending for some time now, but if Asiyami Gold's Instagram feed is any indication, it seems that one daring color will reign supreme this summer: white.
Floral
Floral swimwear has been cropping up on our Instagram feed since early spring. Spanning suits that feature micro-floral prints to bold blooms, as seen on Wilma Moisés here, the options for trying out this trend are seemingly endless.
High-Waisted
Although we've noticed that low-rise bikinis have been gaining popularity, Nneka Julia demonstrates that high-waisted swimwear is a timeless style that's not going anywhere anytime soon. Whether you opt for a solid suit or a trendy print, you really can't go wrong.
Sun Protection
Practical yet sophisticated, sun protection swimwear is a trend that's poised to stick around beyond summer 2019. Here, Silvia Njoki makes a compelling case for adopting the trend early. Follow her lead and pair a long-sleeve top with a wide-brimmed hat for added protection from the sun's rays.
Underwire
The underwire bikini top is a swimsuit trend that's already dominating our Instagram feed. Take style notes from Lee Litumbe and opt for a boldly printed suit that exudes retro vibes to really lean into the vintage-inspired swimwear trend.
