7 Bikini Styles That Will Be Everywhere This Summer

While one-piece swimsuits have experienced a renaissance as of late, nothing will usurp the iconic bikini. First popularized by the likes of Bridgette Bardot, Rita Hayworth, and Ava Gardner, this timeless French style has been around since the 1940s.

But the humble two-piece has come a long way since its inception. You can now buy a bikini in every color, cut, and pattern imaginable. Designers are also embracing mix-and-match pieces, making this once-revealing style more wearable than ever. Pair a triangle bikini top with high-waisted bottoms, cheeky string bottoms with a full-coverage top, or even mix and match patterns and fabrics. The sky's the limit.

Read up on our favorite two-piece trends for 2020, and then shop the best bikinis for the upcoming beach season below.

Balconette bikini tops equipped with structured underwire are a favorite among the fashion set. This style aligns with the lingerie trend that dominated runways last fall.
Unsurprisingly, the fashion world's fixation on all things 1970s has seeped into swimwear design. Go for retro floral prints and embrace unexpected color combinations, like brown, orange, and yellow.  
The animal-print trend shows no signs of stopping, especially in the swimsuit world. Leopard-, zebra-, and snakeskin-print bikinis are already all over Instagram.
Gone are the days of basic polyester. Bathing suit brands like Hunza G and Solid & Striped are embracing texture-rich fabrics like crinkled seersucker and ribbed polyamide.
From lime green and lifeguard red to bubblegum pink and sunshine yellow, vibrant swimsuits are set to be a 2020 staple. 
The all-white bikini has officially been given a second lease on life. This minimalistic look leaves plenty of room for experimentation with swimsuit outfits.
Beachwear brands like Calarena and Fella Swim have embraced swimsuit belts and acetate hoop detailing, and we're here for the retro look. 
Next: This '80s bikini trend is dominating right now.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
