A few weekends ago marked the beginning of summer as well as pool season when “Hotlanta” reached 90 degrees. It’s not a secret that staying stylish and keeping cool is the number one priority for fashionistas/fashionistos this sweltering season. With new sales popping up everyday in your inbox, finding a stylish swimsuit whether it be a bikini, one-piece or pair of trunks may be harder than it looks. If you are having trouble finding something you like for the swimwear season, here are a few summer styles and trends to check out for men and women alike.

Nautical stripe.

The stripe, reminiscent of sailors and all things seaworthy, is a classic trend in swimwear. This blue-and-white repeating stripe is an easy way to look more curvy or slender, depending on the width of the stripe.

High-waisted.

This style of swimwear is perfect for those who usually feel insecure in two-piece swimwear. It’s also a retro blast-from-the-past for anyone who loves vintage-wear from the 60s.

Shorter trunks.

For the man that is secure enough in his manhood but doesn’t want to wear a full on speedo, short trunks are meant for you. They hit about mid-thigh and are definitely a flattering update for men’s swimwear. Check out this article on Buzzfeed that caters to how amazing you will look when your trunks don’t touch your knees!
