For stylish women, there is one accessory that has become a summer essential. No, I’m not talking about sunscreen. Although sunscreen is also a summer staple, I’m referring to the my
all-time favorite item of clothing — the bikini!
We can all agree that summer is officially the best season of the year for sunbathing and resting. It is also the season to take advantage of the beach and pool and the endless sun and water they provide. In summer, almost everyone goes to the beach or swimming pool, and a large number do so in their favorite bikinis.
Once you’ve acquired a bikini or (preferably) more you adore, you can leave your skin bare and take advantage of the sun’s rays to fill up on vitamin D. You shouldn’t miss this opportunity to do yourself some good!
Check out 6 summer bikinis you’d be needing in 2021…
#1. Crochet
You can wear the crochet swimsuit in one or two pieces. The shape is also very varied: a two-piece bareback or striped one-piece, a triangle one-piece, bandeau, ruffle, round neck, and so many others. They come in all shapes and all colors, enough to keep you hooked on this style.
The crotchet swimsuit isn’t for swimming but for when you want to laze on the beach or pool. If you dare wear them to swim, the water would soak the wool, thus, weighing it down considerably and warping the piece. Result? You risk ending up just like Eve!

#2. Cut-outs
As soon as summer is in full swing, it’s time to dive into this selection of cut-out swimsuits! By adding a touch of sexy and originality to one piece and bikinis, the cut-outs are going to wreak havoc this summer. Ideal for showing off a little skin without revealing too much, the swimsuit with cut-out is guaranteed to stand out. Belly, neckline, hips, or ribs, you can skillfully choose to show any part of the body thanks to the cut-out swimsuit!

#3. Animal prints
If you adopted the leopard print last winter, you wouldn’t be surprised to find it everywhere this summer too. Feline, zebra, python, you name it! Wild animals will be everywhere on the beaches as people begin to go out. This year more than ever, we are giving pride of place to eighties bikini cuts: high-cut panties, push-up bra-style bikini top, lace-up bands. In short, it’s not just the pattern that will be sexy!

#4. Put a ring on it
This time we are not talking about the ring on your left ring finger, but the detail on any part of a swimsuit. If the ring is not your first choice, then opt for a buckle. The ring or accessory you choose transforms the swimsuit into a chic piece. On a bandeau or a classic top, the embellishment gives an artistic side to any swimsuit. It is best to choose metal-toned plastic rather than metal to prevent it from overheating on the skin’s exposure to the sun.

#5. Frills
Designers did not hesitate to add feminine aesthetics into the 2021 swimsuit trends. Think bright and fresh with a hint of the ethereal. Find ruffles making an appearance on necklines, busts, waistlines, and even shoulders into every style and print.
