As a sophisticated, stylish woman, you've got free rein to try any type of swimsuit you like. We're not trying to tell you that you can't wear cutouts in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or, hey, even your 80s. But the range of suit trends ahead definitely fit best into a 20-something's wardrobe. There are striking patterns, sexy silhouettes, and bright neon colors here that are a whole lot more playful than ordinary.
But, of course, we still made sure to keep flattering shapes in mind. (You won't be falling out of these pieces or one bit uncomfortable — promise!) We've got a feeling that if you fit into this age group, you'll have tried a few of these trendy designs already. And if you haven't, abandon all reservations, seize the moment, and live a little. There's no better time.
