From retro revivals to futuristic flair, know what's influencing swimwear for SS25
Nostalgic Nods: Retro Revival
Everything old is new again, and swimwear is no exception. For SS25, designers are taking inspiration from the past and giving it a modern twist.
Think high-waisted bottoms reminiscent of the 1950s paired with bold, graphic prints straight out of the 1980s.
Retro silhouettes like the classic one-piece will be a key item for the season as it offers both style and support for all body types. Craft in textured surface materials for extra support and interest.
Sustainable style: Eco-Conscious Choices
In an era of increasing environmental awareness, we see sustainability as a key influencer in the swimwear space. From recycled materials to ethical production practices, eco-conscious consumers are demanding more from the brands they buy from.
The Spring Summer 2025 season will see an increase in the use of recycled plastic materials and textiles dyed with natural, plant-based pigments.
Designers are also embracing sustainable manufacturing processes, such as water-saving techniques and renewable energy sources, to reduce their environmental impact.
Futuristic Flair: Modern Sci-Fi
Swimwear trend stories inspired by science fiction and space exploration become important and creatives are embracing futuristic fabrics and cutting-edge technologies to create swimwear that's ahead of it's time.
Metallic finishes, iridescent fabrics, and holographic prints add cosmic glamour to classic silhouettes, whilst innovative materials like neoprene and mesh provide performance, function and support.
Gender Fluidity: Breaking Boundaries
Rigid gender norms are being broken. Designers are welcoming gender fluidity with designs that blur the lines between traditional men's and women's swimwear.
From playful prints and vibrant colours to minimalist design and clean lines, swimwear for Spring Summer 2025 is all about self-expression and individuality.
