This time last year, we put together a round-up of the key swimwear trends to look out for and shop in 2016. And as another year of holidays and swimwear shopping arrives, we're here to help you navigate the hottest swimwear trends to buy into this season for a sizzling look at the beach or pool...
Crop Tops

Melissa Odabash Barbados Top & Pant
Last year the high neck was a key swimwear silhouette, and this year it's going even more full-coverage with crop top bikini styles being a hot pick for 2017. If you want to push the trend even further then you can even try bikini tops with cap sleeves too.

Tassels & Fringing

Whether its a simple tassel detail or full on fringing, swimsuits and bikinis this season are all about the extras, its just up to you how much of a swishing silhouette you want to go for.

Lacing Details

Watercult Summer Solids Lace Front One Piece
Side, front or back, whatever you opt for, there's got to be a little lacing in your swimsuit this season. And even if it doesn't lace up then the look of lacing is also a definite winner for that little hint of skin.

Ruffles

Wrap-Around Bikinis

Watercult Summer Solids Cross Front Halter & Cut Out Pant
Emphasise your bust and waist with another of the key looks for this year with a wrap around bikini. Either with double under-bust straps or just the illusion of wrapping fabric, this style is great to show off your shape and draw attention to your curves.
