The prints or patterns on your swimsuit are just as significant as the cut and fit. And the bathing suits ahead have details that continue to stay relevant year after year, despite the changing trends. For example, not every person is going to be fond of a bikini, though they may want to bare some skin, and that's where varying cutouts come in. A mood-boosting shade could be electrifying neon for some, while it's soft pastels for others — but wearing your power color poolside is always a good idea. The eight swim styles ahead are broad in the sense that they can fit into your collection however you want them to. If you happen to be in the market for some new pieces and you're stuck on which look to shop, scroll to get inspired by the most timeless suits that just won't let you down.
