Top White Bikini Trends This Summer

The U.S. is home to 10.7 million swimming pools, meaning most people have a chance to take a dip during the summer. Of course, to fully enjoy the poolside, you need a cute, comfortable swimsuit. If it's been two or more years since you went bathing suit shopping, it's probably time to get something new, as sunlight and chlorine do a number on swimwear. Fortunately, there are plenty of fun white bikini trends to keep you looking chic this summer.

Bridal Swimwear

Brides everywhere are embracing beach casual for their destination weddings. The industry has responded by creating a variety of white swimsuits, ensuring everyone can find their perfect wedding attire.

Of course, you don't have to walk down the aisle to take advantage of this trend. White and off-white bikinis look amazing with any skin tone, making them an excellent pick for anyone seeking chic poolside fashion.

If you love sultry looks, consider lacy bridal styles. These lingerie-inspired bikinis use texture to create sexy details. Whether you want to show off for a special someone or celebrate the single life, this white bikini style is a fantastic choice.

High Waists

Do you love two pieces but don't want to show off your tummy? If so, high-waisted bottoms are the way to go.

High-waisted bikinis come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to emphasize your hourglass figure, show off your belly button or let your booty speak for itself. High waists are often paired with high-cut legs, a trend that lets you show off your curves while feeling covered up.

High waists also look amazing with vintage styles. If you have boho wedge sandals, cat-eye sunglasses or a psychedelic wrap, a high-waisted white bikini may be right up your alley.

Ruffled Sleeves

Minimalism is nice, but sometimes you get a more-is-more itch that you just have to scratch. Luckily, you can get the best of both worlds with a white, ruffled bikini.

Ruffled sleeves are a great way to draw attention to your bikini top while adding coverage. They also create a fairytale-like quality that plays into fairycore and cottagecore, two internet aesthetics that encompass the following vibes:

  • Dream-like
  • Playful
  • Ethereal

There are also plenty of bottoms that sport cute ruffles around the waist. You can opt for something short and sweet or choose longer ruffles that function as a skirt. If you pick the latter, keep in mind that the fabric will float before it gets wet, so you may need to dunk before taking photos.

Crocheted Designs

If the basic white bikini isn't your thing, consider a crocheted design instead. Crocheting creates interesting textures and can even mimic lace, depending on the stitch. As a result, you can find styles that are as revealing or covering as you want.

Crochet also has a retro quality that pairs well with other beachwear:

  • Floppy sun hats
  • Straw bags
  • Knit cover-ups
