This summer, we're going for the sequined swimsuit

Sequined swimwear was among the most popular items on the beach in 2022. Unsurprisingly, it will once again be a trend in 2024. Whether made of lurex, metallic fabric, or spandex/nylon with real sequins sewn onto your bikini or one-piece swimsuit, sequins are taking center stage in women’s swimwear. To stay on-trend, simply choosing a sequined swimsuit isn’t enough—you need to choose one that flatters your body type. In addition to helping you find the perfect sequined swimsuit for your figure, we’re also highlighting several top picks.

Which swimsuit style should you choose?

Whether it’s sequined or not, choosing a swimsuit depends on several factors, particularly your body type. After all, every woman has a different body. If you’re not sure what your body type is, feel free to read our article “Which Swimsuit for Which Body Type.”

The sequined one-piece swimsuit

No matter your body type, the one-piece swimsuit is a winning choice. It flatters all body types and, as a bonus, helps slim your figure and elongate your legs. However, some styles will suit you better than others.

Women with a small bust: Opt for a swimsuit with a V-neckline to flatter your smaller bust.

Women with a full bust: opt for a push-up or underwire bandeau swimsuit for good support.

If you’re looking for a sexy and unique swimsuit, the trikini is for you. This unconventional one-piece swimsuit is simply connected by a strip of fabric at the front. From the back, it looks like a two-piece swimsuit.

The two-piece swimsuit and the sequined bikini

If you opt for a two-piece swimsuit, you have several options to choose from, and as you might expect, the style you choose should flatter your figure.

Triangle top: ideal if you have a smaller bust.

Balconette underwire top: for larger busts, it provides perfect support
Bandeau top: The bandeau style flatters women with B and C cup sizes.

Bikini bottoms: the classic, high-cut, sexy style.

High-waisted swimsuit: your best friend if you want to conceal your tummy. It flattens your stomach while giving you a feminine, trendy pin-up look.
Shorty swimsuit: Avoid this style if you have wide hips, as it tends to make your figure look wider. Instead, opt for a high-cut swimsuit.

What color should the sequins on my swimsuit be?

Generally speaking, the color of your swimsuit should be chosen based on your skin tone. If you’d like to learn more about this, feel free to read the blog post dedicated to this topic. Before we talk about products, let’s talk about fashion. In 2023, several colors stand out from the crowd and will clearly be the ones to choose for this summer.

A bold color: To stay on-trend, be bold with color and go for a bright orange or lime green bikini.
A natural color: If you prefer to keep it neutral, a natural shade like beige, pink, or lavender will be perfect.
A dark color: with swimsuits in dark red, pine green, or deep purple, you can’t go wrong.
Black or white: To stick with safe bets, black and white are, of course, timeless classics.

If you’ve made it this far in the article, you already know which swimsuit style and color to choose this summer. Let’s not lose sight of the main topic, though, which is choosing a sequined swimsuit! If you’re looking for sequins and sparkle, you’ll have several swimsuit materials to choose from:

Lurex: This polyester fabric is coated with a metallic layer, which gives it that shimmering look. Available in silver, gold, and many other colors, a lurex swimsuit truly delivers that sequined look.
Metallic: A metallic swimsuit will certainly shine, but it won’t necessarily have a sequined look. The fabric will have a smoother appearance, similar to a sheet of aluminum foil. You’ll find them in silver, copper, gold, or other colors.
Sequined polyamide/spandex: These materials are commonly used for swimwear, and it’s entirely possible to make the fabric shimmer. The final product will closely resemble lurex.

Just like with a clothing or lingerie collection, you’ll also have a choice of styles: asymmetrical swimsuits, high-cut bikinis, ruffled triangle tops, and more. To learn more, read our article on 2023 swimwear trends.
