This season, beach style is truly in full bloom. One of the hottest trends for the beach and pool this season is floral swimwear. That's good news for women who want to look sensational in their swimsuits, as floral swimwear can be flattering for any body type.

The Appeal of Floral Swimwear

Floral swimwear is a favorite look for many women, largely because of its feminine appeal. There's something unmistakably beautiful about flowers, and floral swimwear brings their lovely petals and blossoms to life in stylish prints. You can find floral swimwear in vintage-inspired patterns and modern prints. Looks range from wild tropical themes to subtle sophisticated styles, so there is truly something for every taste in floral swimwear designs.

Floral Swimwear Style Options

Because floral swimwear is so versatile, bathing suit designers are using flowered patterns on a wide variety of swimsuit silhouettes this season. You can find flowered bathing suits in one piece styles to fully cover the torso and one piece swimdresses with coverage for the rear and legs. Flowered tankinis with brief bottoms, skirtinis with skirt bottoms and shortinis with shorts are available in floral swimwear designs for women who prefer two pieces. You can also find midkinis with briefs and long line tops and traditional bikinis in beautiful floral prints in bathing suit collections this season.

Choosing Flattering Floral Swimwear

Women of all sizes and body types can look gorgeous in floral swimwear, provided that they choose a suit that complements their figures. Brightly colored and large floral prints call attention to the figure, so it's best to keep the blossoms on areas that you wish to accentuate. If you're larger on top, try a solid top with a flowered bottom, and opt for the opposite to minimize a larger lower body. An all-over floral print can lengthen the look of the torso and accentuate the body's natural curves.
