Every year, designers in both the fashion and swimwear industries travel the globe searching for the world’s hottest trends. This season, the global inspirations must’ve hit ‘em hard, since the 2010 tribal swimwear trend is what everyone’s buzzing about.
The ethnic-inspired prints typically feature fierce animal prints, geometric patterns, and an earthy nature-inspired color palette (think neutrals with pops of grassy greens, lagoon blues, and clay reds). Check out some of our faves:
1. Maldives by OndadeMar
The gorgeous Maldives bikini from the OndadeMar Summer Collection is one of our favorite 2010 tribal swimwear styles! The deep aqua tribal-inspired print perfectly pops against the crisp white background. Also, the minimizer bandeau top is perfect for ladies with bigger busts!
2. Milano by L Space Swimwear
Styles like the Milano and Milano Lola two-pieces from the L Space Summer Collection feature a chic Aztec-inspired print, showing off a chic way to do the 2010 tribal swimwear trend. The
geometric zigzag print is done in an earthy color palette, featuring hues of cream, brown, clay red, and orange spice.
3. Tribal Affair by GUESS
For the 2010 tribal swimwear trend, we’re also loving the new Tribal Affair triangle bikini, the Tribal Monokini, and the matching Jumper cover-up, all of which feature a rich brown hue. All three styles feature a boho-chic tribal-inspired design in sexy designer cuts.
4. Piel Tankini by Aguaclara Swimwear
Finally, animal prints are always popular for the tribal swimwear trend. Styles like the one-shoulder Piel Tankini, Piel One-Piece and the Piel Y Coral bikini feature a fierce cheetah print balanced out with a lush grassy green print. Flora meets fauna in this Amazon-inspired print…you’ll look like the queen of the jungle in no time!
All of these tribal swimwear styles show off the beauty of bohemian fashion. This swim trend is high on everyone’s fashion radar, so what are you waiting for!? Start turning heads today!
