Keep your poolside look directional with this season's floral swimsuits. If you are searching for a bathing suit that will take you through the entire summer - beach days, lounging by the pool, and double up as a bodysuit with a pair of shorts for lunch, then a floral swimsuit should be high on your hit list.
Instantly injecting fun and femininity into your vacation wardrobe, a floral swimsuit will always stay in style; whether it be big bright florals or dainty daisies, a floral swimsuit is the ultimate feel-good summer fix. "Floral prints look fantastic in the summer. If your style is more on the minimal side, a colorful patterned swimsuit can be a great way to experiment with something a little bolder on holiday. The recurring trend of the season is to definitely go bold with blooms this summer over a delicate ditsy print," says Ruth Chester-Lees, Garment Technologist at Joanie Clothing.
When it comes to selecting the scale of your floral, larger bloom prints are considered more figure-skimming than micro floral prints, but in truth, it's largely down to the style and cut of the swimsuit. A ruched side, a V-neck, or a ruffle sleeve can all help create a more balanced silhouette. Floral prints are fun, flirty, and feminine, making them ideal for those looking for a softer, less sporty feel to their swimwear.

When it comes to the best floral swimsuits, fabric composition plays as much of a role as cut and style in terms of creating a flattering finish. While all swimwear has a certain amount of elastane, as it's this stretch that helps to give it a supportive finish, sustainable swimwear is becoming increasingly popular, and this will be highlighted on the composition and care label.
"You want some stretch in your swimwear, so a standard composition would be a polyester elastane mix. I'd expect to see this in both the outer and lining fabric for the best fit. If you're looking for a sustainable option, then recycled polyester is a good start. If you spot REPREVE® on the label, this means the polyester has been recycled from plastic bottles," Georgia Stevens, Fashion Buyer for Animal, tells us.
This year floral swimsuits are one of the biggest swimwear trends in 2023 and there are plenty to choose from at all budgets and sizes. Pair them with a floppy hat and oversized sunglasses, and you're good-to-go.
A classic cut swimsuit with a vintage-inspired floral print makes this one of our favorite floral swimsuits of the summer. The lavender base is bright and taps into the WGSN Color of the Year 2023, and is complemented perfectly by the pink and blue flowers, which are fairly subtle. The side ruching allows for comfort and a personalized fit, as well as gentle skimming of the hip area. The spaghetti straps are also adjustable to give you the best fit.
