\n\tTwo opposing swimwear trends are taking over this summer: the skin-baring versus the more covered.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile Brazilian bikinis continue to be popular around the globe, summer 2025 also marks the return of the tankini and boy short bottoms, which provide not only more coverage but also the freedom to move without the worry of strings becoming untied.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI think this trend is resonating so much this summer because people are craving that easygoing, nostalgic feel from their swimwear. I think there\u2019s definitely an increasing appetite for swim styles that have more coverage and are wearable,\u201d Hattie Tennant, founder of Fruity Booty, told WWD of customers leaning into her Spiaggia swim shorties and Reef tankini styles \u201cwhich are such fun pieces, but also super comfortable and versatile.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cOur audiences are gravitating toward these pieces because they\u2019re cool, nostalgic and genuinely practical. It\u2019s a reminder that swimwear can be dynamic and expressive, not just something you wear to sunbathe in,\u201d Tennant said. \u201cI think it\u2019s so important to feel good and protected when you\u2019re not wearing much so you can move freely in your swimwear.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tOther brands getting into the trend include Dippin\u2019 Daisy\u2019s, with floral styles that channel the ongoing early aughts trend; Staud, with its adorable striped Cleo tankini top and matching bikini bottoms, and Left on Friday, the swimwear label designed to give customers swimwear built for both sport and style. Modern takes on the tankini and boy short offer nostalgia without being too naive and are also seen from Candice Swaenpoel\u2019s Topic of C line or Hunza G\u2019s colorful styles.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re loving the comeback of tankinis and boy shorts \u2014 these styles hit the sweet spot of coverage and comfort. There\u2019s a shift toward customers wanting swimwear built for both sport and style, and these suits give them that freedom to move on every adventure,\u201d Left on Friday cofounders Laura Low Ah Kee & Shannon Savage told WWD of their Rays short sleeve and Sunseeker tops with mid-rise Barrel bottoms \u2014 perfect for \u201cgetting that sporty style look with smooth coverage.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tHere, WWD curates nine sportif and novelty-minded swim styles that play into summer 2025\u2019s rise of the tankini and boy short swimwear trend.<\/p>\n
