A Stylist Told Me 5 Swimsuit Trends That Will Define Summer

In our Ask a Stylist series, we're tapping a new expert each month to weigh in with all of their style insights. Return each week for a professional's perspective on what to know in fashion.

Fashion stylist Rachael Wang recently weighed in about all of the cool pieces she can’t wait to wear this summer and the sustainable brands she always wears—and I highly recommend giving them a read if you haven’t already. Now, the NYC-based stylist is returning to discuss all things swimwear as we head into summer. Curious to get her take on the coolest styles to know about for the months ahead, I asked Wang to share the best swimsuit trends to invest in now that get a stylist’s stamp of approval.

Her picks range from cool textures like ribbing that add some extra dimension to any silhouette to pretty patchwork bikinis to pieces that are designed with a wide range of body types and gender expressions in mind. One thing is for certain—all of Wang’s selects have me ready to slip into a swimsuit this season. Ahead, see the 5 best swimsuit trends from a stylist that she predicts will define summer style.

According to Rachael Wang, patchwork swimsuits have a "homespun feel" that make them equal parts fun and cool.
Shop the matching Reversible Bottoms ($145).
Shop the matching Hi Tide Bottoms ($85).
Wang is recommending scooping up swimwear that is finished with a ribbed texture—she's an especially big fan of itty bitty bikinis.
Shop the matching High Leg Bottoms ($99).
Shop the matching Striped Bikini Bottoms ($30).
Shop the matching Bikini Bottoms ($40).
Wang has her eye on designers that are designing inclusive swimsuits, especially "joyful swim design," she says," that is "inspired by disability, chronic illness, and disfigurement."
Shop the matching Bikini Top ($125).
Wang can't get enough of the simple and timeless seamless designs that are everywhere on the market right now, which she describes as "comfy, minimalist, and size-inclusive." 
Shop the matching Poolside Bottoms ($38).
Shop the matching Bikini Bottoms ($20).
Shop the matching Sandy Bikini Bottoms ($70).
We've noticed a rise in unitards recently and swimwear is following suit, specifically androgynous unisuits which Wang notes work for a "wide variety of bodies and gender expressions."

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...
