Thong Bikinis, Cutouts, and 5 More Trends to Shop From Miami Swim Week

Gone are the days when tie-front, robe-like swimsuit cover-ups were your only options. Sheer dresses and jacket are starting to step into the resortwear spotlight. Consider styles featuring vibrant colorways, as showcased above on rapper JT at Matte Collection, or Acacia's minimal and refined take on the sheer dress. The trend embraces designs that feel all at once ready for the beach and primed for a lunch date. With the right garment underneath, this look champions a style you can take off the shore as well.

Want all eyes on you on vacation? ThisMelissa Simone Amira Maxi Dress($200) will all but make sure of it.

One brand has had fashion-forward beach dresses at its core since its inception. TheLouisa Ballou Heatwave Dress($455) comes with a split colorway in hues that are just begging to be snapped for the 'gram.

"Angelic" is the only word that comes to mind for this dreamyGigi C Michelle Mesh Coverup($110). Pair it with a white bikini and stacked gold jewels for a date-night-ready ensemble.

If the cutout trend proves anything, it's that showing off skin is going to be in for a while. At Miami Swim Week, the runways flooded with models in mesh-paneled garments, revisiting the cutout's sister trend, which includes using flesh-toned fabrics to create the illusion of exposed skin. The result? Sultry yet sleek swimwear that could easily work as going-out apparel. Ema Savahl's couture swimwear show reimagined the brand's painted-onto-the-skin technique, while Onalaja married mesh inserts with sequins to create a striped effect.

Hesitant to deviate from bikinis? ThisNorma Kamali Bishop Nude Insert One Piece Swimsuit($275) just might change your mind, if only because these translucent mesh stripes make for one super-interesting garment.

Some brands just have this technique down to a science. You haven't fully considered this trend if you don't have theseGod Save Queens Ivy Top($69) andGod Save Queens Ivy Bottom($55) on your list.

The skin-like base on this swimsuit is striking on its own, but the polka-dot motif on thisEma Savahl Ender Bubbles Black One Piece($450) also creates an optical illusion that highlights your curves.

如果的问题如何得到最好的爆炸哟ur buck is on the table, here's your answer as far as resortwear goes: sarongs as skirts. Not the ultrasheer, ultramini, you-would't-catch-me-wearing-this-anywhere-other-than-the-beach kind. Instead, designers posed an updated kind of sarong. The design is relatively opaque and can rival any skirt in a nonaquatic setting. Heading on a trip? With this trend, you've got a top contender for your waterside activities and dinner outfit all in one.

There's something about sarongs that just makes prints stand out, and we think it might be the chic, gathered-at-the-waist shape. ThisZara印花裙布($46) pretty much proves this theory.

ThisJust Bee Queen Issa Skirt($395) comes together with a statement ruffled gathering rather than a tie front, morphing the idea of a sarong into an actual skirt. In other words, this skirt is one of the most versatile resortwear items you can invest in.

When you're not on the beach, style thisCupshe Love Struck Ruffle Maxi Pareo($35) with a black bodysuit and strappy heels to transform the garment entirely.

Nostalgia seeps its way into every corner of fashion, and swimwear is no exception. Remember the chunky belts of the 2000s? According to brands such as Poster Girl, which sent a line of bikinis complete with belt-like details down the runway during Miami Swim Week, they're back. Designers interpret the trend in a number of ways, from a bikini top with belted shoulder straps to a one-piece cinched with a buckle to styles that may incorporate such details solely for aesthetic rather than function. Nevertheless, they command attention and are worth considering for your poolside 'fit.

Surely among the edgiest of bikinis you've seen, theseHeart of Sun Swim My Darling Bikini Top($98) andHeart Of Sun Swim My Darling Bikini Bottom($90) are for anyone seeking a biker-inspired swim look. Naturally, the design and placement of the belts make the set easily customizable and adjustable, too.

For a crisp, clean, and modern approach to the trend, try out theJonathan Simkhai Noa Belted Underwire One Piece Swimsuit($195). Add a floppy straw hat and raffia beach tote to round out the easy look.

动物皮纹总是在风格上,但这个赛季, swimwear designers made a strong case for embracing these animal-themed patterns. Whether it was a take on the classic leopard print, tiger-printed swimsuits complete with matching cover-ups, or embroidered depictions of animals, many brands fully encourage you to unleash your wild side.

Between the playful, deep-V silhouette of thisMonday Swimwear Clovelly Top($98) (complete with a supportive underwire) and the simple yet stylish matchingMonday Swimwear Byron Bottom($77), this set will command plenty of attention.

Chunky chain straps, a chic zebra print, the side cutout of all side cutouts — these are just a few things that make thisSame Los Angeles Gold Chain One Piece($255) a literal work of art

Finally, permission to not match! Well, kind of. Brands such as Cupshe and Sinesia showcased bikinis you might not typically think of as sets: printed bottoms paired with solid tops, marrying colorblock hues, and the like. This customizable trend lends itself to your individuality.

ThisAkosha Triangle Top($108) is reversible and thus ideal for endless mixing and matching. Try styling it on its striped side while juxtaposing it against the subdued, burnt-orange print on theseAkosha Cinco Bottoms($128). Meanwhile, the striped waistband — which is adorned with gold-toned ringlets, no less — ties it all together.

The easiest way to make this trend your own is to play with simple colorblocking. Take one color from thisLos Angeles Apparel The Ophelia 2-Tone Ring Bikini Top($52), and pair it with bottoms of the same color, like thisLos Angeles Apparel High Cut Thong Bikini Bottom($32).

Mixing and matching is most fun when working with vibrant colors and prints, like thisLeni Swims Zia Halter Top($67). Tack on solid-colored bikini bottoms, such as theseLeni Swims Capri Cheeky Bottoms($45, originally $67) in orange, and you're golden.

Swim shirts, like the one that's part of thisIconic Swim Riptide Bikini($34) set, are growing in popularity. And in an especially wearable tone such as Iconic Swim's chocolate hue, prepare to increase your cost per wear by pairing it with trousers or jeans even when you're not hanging poolside.

ThisSage Swim Julieanna Set($100) may be one of the daintiest bikinis you ever did see, and that's exactly why you can expect it to stand out in a crowd. Layer over a mesh cover-up and a floppy hat for a weekend getaway 'fit.
