Another year, a new reason to fill up your swim drawer, right? The best thing about collecting bikinis and one-pieces is you never know when a tropical getaway might come up during the Winter months. And even if it doesn't, you'll have a wide collection of suits to rock all Summer long come June. But we aren't just here to tell you to shop, we're here to tell you what to shop. We uncovered the trends that will have the longest shelf life (that's more than one season long!). Scroll to digest them all, or jump ahead to your favorite one, as seen on some fashion-forward celebs and models.
Just call rust-colored suits the new neutral. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Fella Swim two-piece is the perfect example of the shade you're seeing everywhere — brown with a slightly red undertone.
Montce Sienna Private Beach One-Piece ($132, originally $168)
Zimmermann Tali Flutter Bikini Set in Bronze ($192, originally $320)
Emily Ratajkowski was onto something with the introduction of the Las Olas bikini into her swimwear line. Multiple ribbons and long ties on the sleeves of your suit, or even crisscrossed over the front, are the new norm.

Zimmermann Jaya Tie Neck Swimsuit ($189, originally $315)
You'll spy a touch of hardware on bikinis and one-pieces alike this year, holding together the fabric of a suit, like Iskra Lawrence's Aerie design, or just affixed for extra embellishment.
KYA Swim Emma Top ($109) and KYA Swim Audrey Bottom ($86)
OOKIOH Seattle Top ($49) and OOKIOH Monaco Bikini Bottom ($49)

Plus Ring Detail Belted Snake Swimsuit ($22, originally $44)
Boohoo Plus Leopard Print Swimsuit ($20, originally $40)

Kore Swim Oceania Maillot ($271)

Boohoo Plus Stripe Bardot High Waist Bikini ($22, originally $44)
Swimsuits For All Sidekick Sunset Bikini ($59, originally $84)

Romwe Cactus Print Bikini Set ($11, originally $12)
Zimmermann Castille Ruched Printed Halterneck Bikini ($108, originally $270)

Boohoo Plus Crinkle Crop Top Bikini Set ($17, originally $44)
Sauvage High Leg Tank One Piece in Sapphire ($78, originally $216)
