Live your best life, bb. While we aim to enlighten you about the latest fashion trends, there aren't actually any rules that dictate what styles you can and can't wear this season. Into retro-inspired swimwear? Go for it. Love a long-sleeve bathing suit that gives you extra coverage? No need to ask for permission.
Trends exist to tell us what will be super popular in the fashion world at any given time—usually based on the runway shows of a few dozen designers. Ultimately, what you wear shouldn't be decided by what's "trendy" during the spring and summer. Throw on a bikini, tankini, one-piece, or swim dress that makes you feel like the hottest baddie at the beach. Full stop.
