What's Actually Trending in Swimwear This Year

2026 swimwear trends are leaning into bold contrast, warm sun-baked tones, and endless mix-and-match — which happens to be exactly what SAMESAME SWIM has been doing all along. Here's how the range lines up with what's trending.

Bold Contrast Is Back

After a few seasons of muted neutrals, bright contrast colours are having a real moment again. The Lemonade Dream Tie Top and Lemonade Dream Tie Bottom nail this with their striking blue-and-yellow pairing — proof that contrast doesn't have to mean clashing.

Warm, Sun-Baked Tones

Golden apricot, bronze, and warm earth tones are everywhere in 2026 colour reports. Our Tangerine Dream Tie Top and Guava Royale Tie Top both lean into that warm, sun-soaked palette that's dominating the season.

Cheeky, Adjustable Cuts

Tie-side and cheeky cuts remain one of the most in-demand styles this year, prized for being flattering and easy to adjust throughout the day. It's the foundation of our entire tie range, from Guava Dream to Tangerine Royale.

Bandeau and Strapless Styles

Strapless tops are trending for anyone wanting clean lines and fewer tan lines. The Lemonade Dream Bandeau Top and Guava Royale Bandeau Top both tick this box.

Mix-and-Match Is Here to Stay

Building your own combination — different tops and bottoms, different sizes, different prints — continues to be one of the biggest shifts in how people shop for swimwear. It's something we've built the entire range around from day one.

What's Coming Next

Keep an eye out — we've got a new earth-toned print landing soon that leans right into this season's warmer, richer colour story.
