is a more difficult task than in winter – the options are more limited and the creative potential arguably lower without the interest of layers. But let’s face it, it’s hard to miss those layers when you find yourself on a palm tree-lined desert island, cocktail in hand.

For those of you who want a summer of crystal clear waters, we’re happy to report that 2025’s swimwear trends have arrived, and the best part? There’s something for everyone. The classics are all present – think minimalist monochromes, stripes, neons and retro silhouettes – but those looking for something a little different might want to consider a textural boho bikini in knit or crochet, aka your one-stop-shop for hippie, Ibiza-inspired cool.

As always, there have been a number of fashion insiders getting ahead of the trend (Dua Lipa has also been snapped in the look), proving the style can just as easily be incorporated into your everyday wear (just add low-slung jeans and a linen shirt) as your summer holiday wardrobe. Plus, because of the trend’s personality-packed, colourful fabric, it’s sure to be a feature of 2025’s summer festival circuit – keep your eyes peeled, Glasto-goers.

Missoni is an obvious choice when it comes to investing in this throwback look, and every season it offers a plethora of options in rainbow brights, but you can also find tempting iterations at the likes of Mango, Asos, Nanushka and Free People. Scroll down to see and shop our full edit below.
