These are the six swimwear trends of this summer

Sculpted statements, subtle but certainly not less sexy cut-outs, extra comfortable fabrics inspired by our beloved loungewear, the Kardashian artand of course the fashion animal of this summer is also in attendance: it's time for a lesson in swimwear trends. Because although you pull very little from the closet for a day at the beach or during the pool side of life, that little piece of fabric that you do wear is extra fun to shine with.
