The Top Swimwear Trends for Italian Cool-Girls This Summer
There’s nothing quite like an Italian summer—sunny days at the beach, gelato in hand, and spontaneous boat trips with friends. To fully embrace the season, you need a standout swimwear collection. Italian cool-girls have perfected the art of stylish and functional swimwear, and as I check out my Instagram feed and people-watch along the coast, it’s clear they’re leading the trends.
Here’s a look at the top five swimwear trends Italian cool-girls are rocking for Summer 2024, featuring cheeky bottoms, glittery bikinis, and more.
Classic String Bikini
A string bikini is a timeless staple in any swimwear wardrobe. Italians have a particular love for Calzedonia, a brand famously endorsed by Kendall Jenner, known for its chic string bikini options. Another favorite among the Italian cool crowd is Reina Olga, available in a vibrant pink set at Free People. If you’re on a budget, check out this $20 option from Amazon. For a classic choice, the Becca triangle string bikini top paired with Dippin Daisys cheeky bottoms will have you channeling major Italian vibes.
Shimmery Styles
To feel like you’ve stepped into a glamorous Italian perfume ad, opt for shimmery swimsuits. Sparkling swimwear reflects sunlight beautifully and photographs well. Zimmerman’s green glittery set is perfect for a luxe Amalfi Coast look. Zaful’s bandeau set eliminates tan lines while adding sparkle. For a subtle approach, Mango’s dark green reflective bikini top is a great choice. Aerie offers budget-friendly glittery options starting at $12, and if you prefer a one-piece, Amazon has a stunning backless design for a touch of luxury.
Cheeky Bottoms
Embodying body positivity, Italian beaches are famous for their cheeky bottoms. The Reformation adjustable bottoms come in various colors and patterns, offering versatility. Skims has a shiny cheeky option currently on sale, and if you’re comfortable with more skin, Dippin Daisys and Relleciga offer bold choices on Amazon. The zebra print thong bottom from Zulu & Zephyr is a personal favorite.
Balconette Tops
Balconette tops add an elegant touch to swimwear, providing extra support while doubling as a chic top for post-beach aperitivo. The J. Crew underwire balconette is a cute option, especially with the current sale price of $9 using the code SHOPSALE. Amazon’s V-cut detail and Bond-Eye’s stylish shape offer unique designs, while Belle The Label’s top comes in eight colors, including a subtle sparkly version. Calzedonia’s balconette top truly captures the essence of an Italian summer romance.
Embellished Elements
For those who love intricate details, embellished swimwear adds a special touch to basic designs. Amazon’s pearl-detailed set is subtly ornate, while hardware rings from LSpace and Zaful remain popular. The Amazon set with a gold chain link and pearl embellishment offers a fresh take on the trend. Beaded accents, like those on Mango’s top, provide a understated, summery flair.
Embrace these Italian swimwear trends and get ready to make the most of your summer adventures!
