It's impossible to miss the swimwear trend for summer 2026. After several seasons dominated by the 1990s and the trends that followed, such as the leopard bikini, fashion is now immersing itself in the seventies, with a wardrobe that's as free as it is airy.
On the ready-to-wear side, dresses are long, steamy and in drab shades. Suede accessories, embellished with bangs or shells, look like sun-kissed vacation treasures. And the swimwear wardrobe is not to be outdone, particularly at the dawn of summer 2026, when one of the star bikinis of the coming months makes its appearance.
It's impossible to evoke the 1970s without thinking of the icons that made up the essence of that decade. Not least supertop Veruschka, who posed for Vogue in 1968 in an immaculate swimsuit adorned with a multitude of jeweled rings... Or the eternal Jane Birkin, in the 1969 film La Piscine, who made the O-Ring bikini one of the essential pieces of the summer wardrobe. Timeless, the ringed swimsuit is back with a vengeance, worn by a handful of seaside labels. In a color-block variation for the Bahia Bohemia brand, raspberry pink signed Casa Rosa, printed by Leslie Amon or psychedelic for Bain de Minuit... Zoom in on the swimsuit trend for summer 2026, which will quickly make us forget the animal prints of the previous season.
