5 Swim Trends the Chicest Girls in Nigeria, Kenya, and Angola Are Wearing

To no one's surprise, we here at Who What Wear spend a lot of time on Instagram. Whether we're looking for new ways to wear the best fashion basics or seeking intel on the up-and-coming brands we should have on our radar, we frequently turn to the social media platform to find out which trends stylish women around the world are endorsing. Now that summer is finally here, the only trends that we're interested in are, naturally, swimwear trends.

To find out which swimsuit trends the chicest girls in Nigeria, Kenya, Angola, and Cameroon are wearing this summer, we scrolled through the Instagram feeds of none other than Asiyami Gold, Wilma Moisés, Nneka Julia, Silvia Njoki, and Lee Litumbe. Spanning high-cut suits in this season's most daring color to vintage-inspired bikinis that exude retro vibes, these are the swimsuit trends these stylish women are currently wearing, whether they're lounging poolside in Zanzibar or soaking up the sun on Lamu Island.

Keep scrolling to see and shop the swim trends the chicest girls in Africa are wearing, aka the only swimwear trends you need to know this summer.

High-cut swimwear that sits higher on the waist and shows off more leg has been trending for some time now, but if Asiyami Gold's Instagram feed is any indication, it seems that one daring color will reign supreme this summer: white.

Floral swimwear has been cropping up on our Instagram feed since early spring. Spanning suits that feature micro-floral prints to bold blooms, as seen on Wilma Moisés here, the options for trying out this trend are seemingly endless. 

Although we've noticed that low-rise bikinis have been gaining popularity, Nneka Julia demonstrates that high-waisted swimwear is a timeless style that's not going anywhere anytime soon. Whether you opt for a solid suit or a trendy print, you really can't go wrong.

Practical yet sophisticated, sun protection swimwear is a trend that's poised to stick around beyond summer 2019. Here, Silvia Njoki makes a compelling case for adopting the trend early. Follow her lead and pair a long-sleeve top with a wide-brimmed hat for added protection from the sun's rays.

The underwire bikini top is a swimsuit trend that's already dominating our Instagram feed. Take style notes from Lee Litumbe and opt for a boldly printed suit that exudes retro vibes to really lean into the vintage-inspired swimwear trend.

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...
