The 10 Biggest Swimwear Trends to Shop in 2021

August 04, 2021 at 08:39PM This year, there’s a desire for swimsuits and an urge to shop fresh trends like never before. That could be because we spent a good chunk of quarantine laying low around the house in our “swimwear-turned-loungewear,” as we liked to call it, and we’re committed to that vibe wholeheartedly.

[One day] she said, ‘Tomorrow, we will have an inclusive fashion show [with] Tyra Banks, Kimora Simmons, and we’re going to have all body types.’ I was so excited. I was like, 'OK, I definitely have to be home for this.’ I was home for that, and I noticed they left out people with disabilities, and that’s when it dawned on me: I have to go directly to fashion brands to get them on board.
