5 Swimsuit Trends to Plan for in 2018
Were you aware that the first day of spring is less than a month away? (Hallelujah, right?) To us, this means it's time to secure our new-season wardrobe, and for spring and summer, swimwear is at the top of that list. We can certainly speculate which swimsuit style trends everyone will be wearing this year, but we had the opportunity to ask Eberjey's co-founder, Ali Mejia, which trends to try (and which one to skip) in 2018, so that's exactly what we did.
Eberjey is one of our go-to brands when it comes to beautiful, flattering, and sophisticated swimwear that looks effortlessly chic, so we were anxious to hear what Mejia had to say about the latest trends. She told us, "Swim 2018 is all about simplifying. No-fuss, clean cuts in modern prints and confident solids that are easy to pack and travel light. We're letting go of hardware and embracing simple details like knots, ties, twists, and two-tone elements. Rich, earthy colors drive a majority of the collection with a sprinkle of soft pastels to freshen up the palette. We've infused the natural elements of the beach into flirty cover-ups in airy cotton and bamboo."
