Sexy! Classic! Elegant! This Swimsuit Is Peak Summer 2024
This is shaping up to be the year of elegance and sophistication. We are already seeing that play out in a number of ways—including the return of A-line silhouettes, top-handle bags, and opera-length gloves—and that shift in style will also impact how fashion insiders get dressed this summer. The aesthetic is already translating to pieces such as pointed ballerina flats, dresses with fitted bodices, pleated skirts, and jewelry-like timepieces. In the realm of swimwear? Low-back swimsuits.
The classic one-piece reached peak popularity in the '80s and '90s, but we are seeing evidence of its comeback. The silhouette achieves the classic elegance that has been on the rise in 2024, but the scooped low-back detail also adds an element of sexiness that is primed for the pool or the beach. Ahead, see the best low-back swimsuits to shop this summer.
