Sexy Bikinis And Swimsuits Spring/Summer 2025

Fashion Styles & Accessories July 21, 2024

Bikinis and swimsuits in 2025 could be described as both nostalgic and contemporary. That seems to be an outcome of efforts by global swimwear brands and designers aimed at delivering incredible swimwear with some inspiration from the past. This sort of eclectic approach to fashion design happens all the time in the fashion industry. It is therefore not new. What is new, however, is in 2025, design of bikinis and swimsuits seems to have relied on two extremes of fashion's historic epochs, namely the near past and the distant past, for inspiration. Particularly, generation of bikinis and swimsuits in 2025 seems to have been inspired mainly by the 1990s and the 1950s.

Probably because of the wide inspirational scope, in 2025 bikinis and swimsuits are distinguished mainly in terms of fashion attributes they embody rather than their fashion styles per se. With wide inspirational scopes all sorts of fashion styles can emerge with no particular styles that are dominant, while with inspirational scopes that are narrow some dominant fashion styles often emerge.

The foregoing observations about bikinis and swimsuits in 2025 are deductions by inference from critical analysis of some collections of ready-to-wear (RTW) bikinis and swimsuits for spring/summer 2025 (SS25), presented at Miami Swim Week 2024 that took place in Miami Beach, FL, USA, on May 29 - June 5, 2024, as well as some other global swimwear fashion shows elsewhere, where top global swimwear fashion brands and designers showcased what they have got for 2025.

Within the above context, the main fashion attributes of bikinis and swimsuits in 2025 include, among others, the following.

Bandeaux
Printed fabrics
Clean lines
Solid colors
Textured fabrics
Sculpted shapes, and
Sustainable fabrics

These fashion attributes are portrayed in most bikini bottoms, bikini tops, and swimsuits that are bound to be popular and dominant in 2025.

Accordingly, popular and dominant bikinis and swimsuits in 2025 embrace the above fashion attributes and include the following categories of bikinis and swimsuits.

Bandeau bikinis and swimsuits
Printed bikinis and swimsuits
Minimalist bikinis and swimsuits
Textured bikinis and swimsuits
Sculpted bikinis and swimsuits
Sustainable bikinis and swimsuits

We will describe the above categories of bikinis and swimsuits that are trending in 2025 very briefly as thus.

Bandeau Bikinis and Swimsuits

Bandeau bikinis and swimsuits that began re-emerging in 2024 consolidate and gain full-fledged dominance and popularity in 2025, with strapless ring bandeau bikini tops probably becoming most popular.

Printed Bikinis and Swimsuits

Printed bikinis and swimsuits are made with printed fabrics. Some printed bikinis and swimsuits like those with animal prints, i.e. leopard prints, are not really new in recent years. However, 2025 witnesses bikinis and swimsuits with all sorts of prints, with floral pattern prints and some other vegetational prints probably dominating.

Minimalist Bikinis and Swimsuits

Minimalist bikinis and swimsuits emphasize simplicity, functionality, and versatility, among others, and characterized mainly by clean lines and solid colors that were mentioned earlier. They therefore consist of clean line bikinis and swimsuits, and solid color bikinis and swimsuits.

Textured Bikinis and Swimsuits

Textured bikinis and swimsuits alias ribbed bikinis and swimsuits made with textured fabrics.

Sculpted Bikinis and Swimsuits

Sculpted bikinis and swimsuits are mainly shape enhancing swimwear. This sort of swimwear, and particularly shapewear swimsuits and bikinis that deliver sculpting effect, have been trending for sometime now, and will continue to do so in 2025.

Sustainable Bikinis and Swimsuits

Bikinis and swimsuits with sustainable fabrics made from natural/ecological materials, as well as recycled fabrics continue to gain popularity in 2025.

It is imperative to mention at this juncture that some fashion attributes may occur in more than one of the above categories of bikinis and swimsuits. For instance, a bandeau bikini top can also be textured, or a minimalist swimsuit can also be sustainable, and so on.

Because popularity and dominance of bikinis and swimsuits in 2025 are determined by their fashion attributes, that implies that the above categories of bikinis and swimsuits may consist of several fashion styles. For instance, printed bikini bottoms may consist of low cut, high waist, and thong bikini buttons. The same will apply to bikini tops, and swimsuits. Viewed at in this way, some micro bikinis and swimsuits in RTW SS24 collections by Beach Bunny, One One, Natasha Tonic, Chantelle, Lain Snow, and Neena Swim, among others, may continue to be popular in 2025 because fashion attributes that they embody have now emerged as crucial for trending bikinis and swimsuits in 2025.

In addition to increased significance of the role of fashion attributes in determining popularity and dominance of bikinis and swimsuits, 2025 witnesses emergence and popularity of multi-purpose bikinis and swimsuits that are not only used as swimwear, but can be used as beachwear, activewear, or casual wear as well. Swimwear fashion brands taking the lead in this direction include Draw On Swimwear & Hunting Hue, Sigal, Axil Swim, Sports Illustrated, Azulu, Seafolly, Shan, Swim Up-Cycle Challenge, Cupshe, Luli Fama, Acacia, and Adriana Fernandez, among others.

The video above consists of photos of some selected bikini and swimsuits that have been showcased by some of the top swimwear brands, as their ready-to-wear collections for spring/summer 2025 alias RTW SS25 collections. The swimwear brands include the following.

Oh Polly, Cupshe, Dippin Daisys, Sinesia Karol, Swim Up-Cycle Challenge, Ema Savahl, Shan, Axil Swim, Luli Fama, Sports Illustrated, Azulu, Draw On Swimwear & Hunting Hue, Chloe Rose Swimwear, Acacia, Sienna Swim, Seafolly, Pq Swim, Megan Mae, Leslie Amon, Sigal, DOB, Liech Antel, Adriana Fernandez, and Gringa Swimwear, among others.

The examples in the video illustrate clearly how fashion attributes have shaped the generation of bikinis and swimsuits for 2025.

We hope the video will give an idea about how trendy sexy bikinis and swimsuits in 2025 look like and enrich the decision-making process for individual choices of such outfits. Going through all the collections of numerous swimwear brands to make such a choice may be very tedious and probably confusing. This video offers free of charge what we think are best examples of bikinis and swimsuits for 2025 from the collections of some of the top brands, and that we think are common to most of the brands. The point here is that trending swimwear styles would often been adopted by most top swimwear brands with differences often been only cosmetic.

As we have said before, looking chic and sexy is not always about ability to buy, but rather knowing what to buy!
