Best floral swimwear for Spring 2023

Camilla

When it comes to floral designs, Camilla Franks is always a source of inspiration. The Sunlight Fantasy bikini features a pink-dominant print of poppies, carnations, and vine leaves, which is delicate and original. The top has darted details on the bust and adjustable straps, while the bottom has a high-waisted silhouette that elongates the leg and shapes the waist with a V-cut. CAMILLA crystals on both garments add a touch of sparkle in the sun.

This bikini is made of ECONYL® regenerated nylon.

Fleur du Mal

Is your beach wardrobe feeling a bit basic? Spice it up with the Botanical Grommet bikini from Fleur du Mal. This bikini has a unique cannabis leaf-inspired print, one of Fleur du Mal’s signature designs, set against a trendy matte dark background. This eye-catching print adds a touch of edginess to your beach look, making sure you stand out from the crowd.

The triangle top showcases intricate eyelet detailing and adjustable straps that provide a custom fit. Made from Italian stretch fabric that retains its shape and support all day long, the top is a perfect blend of form and function.

The cheeky-cut bottom is equally well-designed, with adjustable side ties and grommet detailing that perfectly complements the top.

Beach Riot

If you’re already familiar with Rachel Parcell, you won’t be surprised by the collection she designed for Beach Riot. Bright floral motifs, like the lemons in this design, are in the spirit and tradition of Pink Peonies, the blog on which Rachel has built her well-defined and much-followed style.

The Abby Top is a crisscross halterneck tie top that features a back S-hook closure and bust cutout. It has a beautifully painted lemon print with a white and light blue shadow background. The Heather Bottom is a high-waisted bottom that features adjustable drawstring sides.

White Fox Boutique

The strapless top with a lace-up front design adds a touch of sophistication to the playful print of shaded red roses on a soft pink-red background. The intricate lace-up detail not only adds visual interest but also provides ample support ensuring that everything stays securely in place while you move around or enjoy water activities.

Moving on to the bottoms, the high-hip design not only flatters the waistline but also adds a contemporary vibe to the overall look. The cheeky cut offers just the right amount of coverage to highlight your curves and create a sexy silhouette.

Tropic of C’s latest offering in swimwear is definitely worth considering. Featuring a delicate white floral pattern on a black base, the Coco Top and Curve Bottom in Flora is a fresh and modern take on classic floral prints. Candice Swanepoel’s label is known for its best-selling designs, and this bikini is no exception.

The Coco Top is a sleek and chic design that provides support and comfort, with adjustable shoulder straps and a clasp closure in the back. The Curve Bottom in Flora features a V design strategically curved in the front and sides to lengthen the leg while providing sufficient back coverage, making it flattering for any body type.

Frankies Bikinis

It was only a matter of time before Sidney Sweeney collaborated with Frankies Bikinis. We still remember the iconic scene between Maddy and Cassie in Euphoria 2 that we discussed in our article “Euphoria’s Dip in Swimwear Trendsetting.”

Sidney has designed a series of pieces for Frankies Bikinis that highlight her gorgeous femininity and sweet, romantic aura. One of these pieces is called “Amore Mio” (which means “My Love” in Italian) and we recommend it in its triangle top and bottom string version.

The Pleated Bandeau is an easy-to-wear pleated bandeau top that features adjustable straps and a multi-option back closure for a perfect fit, as well as pleated details and premium gold toggles. The top is printed in an exclusive Lavender print, which celebrates the feeling of well-being that summer brings with delicate florals and romantic details. It is handmade in limited numbers, and it is exclusively available at the online boutique.

The Tie Side Pant is a favorite among Peony’s customers because it offers both practicality and flattery. It is cut to elongate the legs, and the ties can be adjusted for a perfect fit.

Same – La Vie en Rose Collection

Plenty of Hollywood stars walked the red carpet at both the recent Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards. The most observant couldn’t help but notice an emerging trend among some of them: floral appliqués. It’s no surprise that some of the hottest designers are incorporating them into swimsuits. Although not new, three-dimensional flowers may be the most coveted detail of spring and summer. Same Swimwear has created a “La Vie an Rose” collection based on this trend.

PatBO

When it comes to swimsuits, a one-piece option is always a must-have in any collection. And for those who love the beauty of floral prints, this stunning swimsuit from PatBO designed by the talented Patricia Bonaldi will not disappoint. Unlike some floral one-piece suits that can appear overwhelming, the print on this swimsuit is balanced and tasteful, creating a perfect harmony of colors and patterns.

One of the standout features of this piece is the plunging neckline with its twist detail in the center, which adds a touch of glamour and sophistication. The twist not only creates a visual interest but also helps to accentuate the waist and create a chic and elegant shape.

LoveShackFancy

OK, we know that most people know the song “Love Shack” by The B-52s, so hum along while you check out this two-piece swimsuit. The top ties in the front for a bolder look, but it also stays within this year’s top trends. If you didn’t notice, this style is totally a quasi-70s throwback but with modern touches.

Onia

I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on this stunning swimsuit from Onia, which caught my attention with its modern and captivating print. The dark solid-colored background is a must-have trend for 2023, and Onia has elevated it with the addition of a precise and almost three-dimensional flower pattern. The result is a unique and sensual design that is sure to turn heads wherever you go.

The top features demi cups molded with underwire and padded with soft foam with adjustable straps and three-hook back closure allowing you to customize the fit to your liking, while the brief, is designed to sit low on the waist and features adjustable bands with sliders on both sides.

Zimmermann

When it comes to floral print, pairing it with crochet swimwear can be a challenging task. However, my search came to a satisfying end with the stunning bikini set from Zimmermann. The delicate floral design is perfectly balanced with embossed details that add a touch of intricacy to the overall look. The result is a beautiful and harmonious blend of textures and patterns that provides a classic and feminine shape.

Montce

The design of this swimsuit is truly captivating, featuring “long pedal” flowers that blend seamlessly with the yellow summer background. The subtle floral pattern adds a touch of femininity without being overwhelming, making it the perfect choice for those who want to embrace the floral trend in a more understated way.

One of the standout features of this swimsuit is the top’s center ring, which is a perfect complement to the banded design. The combination of the center ring and banded design creates a look that is both modern and classic, making it a versatile piece that can be worn for years to come. Montce is known for providing different bottom options, but in my opinion, the high-leg proposal is the perfect complement to this stunning top.

While the floral design may be almost absent, the combination of colors and shapes is truly enchanting and is reminiscent of the explosion of life that accompanies every bloom of the spring season. The elegance of this bikini is undeniable, and the unique print will certainly catch the attention of the most sophisticated fashionistas.
