Bikini trends: What will be a hit in spring-summer 2026
Publicado el 8 May, 2026
Summer is just around the corner, and if there's one garment that represents this season, it's undoubtedly the bikini. There are many types, colors, and prints, but what will be the spring-summer 2026 trends? In this post, we'll clarify all your doubts so you can choose or create your ideal bikinis.
1. Star Prints: Checks, Polka Dots, and Animal Print
The identity of this season's bikinis is defined by three undeniable prints, already available on our website!
Checks and Tartan
Burberry has had a great influence on the reappearance of checks with its creative director Daniel Lee. This design has already been seen in countless garments and accessories, and now we see it evolving into similar ones like tartan in swimwear.
Polka Dots: The Star Print
We've been saying it for a while: polka dots are the king print for t-shirts, dresses, and, of course, bikinis. The combinations are endless, from classic black and white to innovative soft pink with chocolate brown.
Animal Print: Zebra and Bambi
As we already announced, animal print, specifically "bambi" (available on our website) is one of the biggest bets. Along with this, zebra prints and other animals will continue to be a trend in the most sought-after women's bikinis.
2. Seasonal Colors: From Black to Chocolate Brown
This year's color palette combines the sobriety of classics with the most viral tones from the runways, all of which are available on our website.
Black: A Foolproof Basic
Another star color for swimwear this spring-summer will be black, a color that never goes out of style and is a classic. Additionally, the good thing about this color is that it suits almost everyone and slightly slims the figure in any bikini style.
Monochromatic Tones
Another trend this spring-summer will be monochromatic designs. Women's bikinis are dyed in solid and powerful colors, among which stand out:
- Soft tones like light pink and butter yellow.
- More vibrant and powerful colors like red or electric blue.
Chocolate Brown: The Color of the Season
If there's one color that is undoubtedly standing out this season, it's chocolate brown. However, we'll see it combined with other contrasting colors like yellow, light blue, or soft pink.
| Color Trend | Highlighted Tones | Main Attribute |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Black | Flattering and timeless effect |
| Top Trend | Chocolate Brown | Elegance and high contrast |
| Monochromatic Pastel | Butter yellow, Light pink | Sweet and luminous |
| Vibrant Monochromatic | Red, Electric blue | Energy and visibility |

3. Cuts and Designs: From Lingerie Sophistication to the Micro-Bikini
In 2026, the bikini silhouette diversifies. Not only color matters, but also how the garment's structure defines style and comfort.
Lingerie Bikinis (The Romantic Touch)
Lace is in fashion, and this spring we've seen it in a multitude of garments. As expected, this trend extends to swimwear, creating pieces that look like authentic fine lingerie thanks to their delicate finishes.
Micro-Bikinis: Extreme Minimalism
Suitable only for the boldest, these bikinis are reduced to their minimum expression to cover only what is strictly necessary. Neutral colors like white or black and triangle cuts for the top predominate, ideal for a tan without marks.
Jewel Bikinis: 3D Trend
In parallel with minimalism, a more maximalist trend emerges. We will see bikinis with studs and metallic appliques that add relief and a touch of three-dimensional luxury to your beach looks.
High-Waisted Bottoms
We bring back the elegance of the 40s and 50s. These high-waisted bottoms are one of the most flattering women's bikini designs, as they slim the waist and visually lengthen the legs.
