7 swimwear trends you'll see everywhere this summer, from flattering one-pieces to printed bikinis
We've made it – swim season is upon us! Whether it's your next trip to the waters of Devon or a sweltering beach trip in Crete (jealous? Us?), it's time to start planning out the best bikinis and one-pieces to see you through the summer. From neutral monochrome palettes to 3D rosettes, we have the perfect roundup of swimwear trends that are bound to make a statement for your next swim adventure...
Nothing says summer holiday quite like colourful florals. This season, we're seeing them through fun prints and hyper-realistic, three-dimensional corsage details. Regardless of whether you lean towards subtlty or go all out, florals are bound to make a poolside impression.
A true ride or die in your swimwear arsenal, IMO. With its well-rounded versatility, it has earned its place in our suitcase. 'This is a trend that we are already seeing going viral,' reports Zoe Price-Smith, Chief Design & Product Officer at Boux Avenue. 'Our Rivioli Swimsuit in black has already almost sold out!' Luckily, you can still get your hands on the white colourway.
The epitome of summer, crochet brings that '70s Cali cool regardless of where you are. To buy into its handcrafted charm, turn to established faves like Free People along with dedicated swimwear brands like Frankies Bikinis and Triangl. There's no such thing as overboard with this trend, so we'll be coordinating with crochet sandals for good measure.
Think gingham and stripes are strictly for the park? Think again. With brands like Hunza G debuting their first gingham collection, or Triangl's new season stripes, we would be remiss not to put them on your radar.
Gradients are a stand-out this season (and I must admit, a personal fave). From ocean blues to sunset tones, they are the best way to revel in summer brights.
Our obsession with boho has made its way to our swimwear. Heavy-hitting hardware like grommets and studs, earthy stoneware and delicate charms add a jewellery-like finish to our wardrobes that we love.
Possibly the most 'no-fuss' texture on the market, the demand for crinkle knows no bounds. Especially great for curvy silhouettes – the stretch fabric is comfy while looking super luxe. Obvs, Hunza G are the OGs in the game, but the high street has come through with plenty of affordable designs in the beloved crinkle style.

NCAA Baseball Tournament: Utah Valley upsets Oregon after controversial 'malicious contact' call
Utah Valley upset Oregon in the opening round of the NCAA men's baseball Eugene Regional on Friday, but the 6-5 win occurred under major controversy. The Wolverines took a 4-0 lead in the third inning with the first four batters reaching base against Ducks pitcher Jason Reitz. Reitz struck out the next two batters, but gave up a 2-run single to Mason Strong. Oregon closed the margin to 4-2 in the bottom of the frame on back-to-back home runs from Drew Smith and Anson Aroz. Advertisement Utah Valley added to its lead on a 2-run single by Jimmy De Anda in the seventh. But Ducks closed the gap to 6-4 in the eighth on Smith's second homer of the game. However, the game became hectic from there. Aroz drew a walk following Smith's home run and advanced to third on a Maddox Molony single. Chase Meggers then lofted a sacrifice fly to left field that brought Aroz in to score — or so it appeared. De Anda's throw bounced in front of Strong at the plate and the catcher couldn't snare the carom. Aroz ran hard into Strong to get to home plate, which Utah Valley coach Nate Rasmussen disputed. Rasmussen asked umpires to review the call, contending that Aroz committed "malicious contact" in running over Strong to score. After reviewing the play with the NCAA's replay command center in Pittsburgh, the umpiring crew agreed with Rasmussen. Aroz was ruled out and ejected from the game. Advertisement Not only did the call cost Oregon a run and get Aroz ejected from the game, but the outfielder is also suspended for Saturday's game against Cal Poly because of it. In the ninth, the Ducks added a run with Carter Garate drawing a walk and scoring on a sacrifice fly by Jacob Walsh. But they couldn't get the tying run across against Utah Valley's Carston Herman, who struck out Smith to end the game. Following the game, Oregon coach Mark Wasikowski was understandably upset over the call against Aroz. Umpires told him that the ruling "came from Pittsburgh" and was out of their hands. He then defended Aroz for going hard into the catcher the way he did. 'I was taught to play hard. I was taught to get after it by my dad and my coaches growing up," Wasikowski said, via The Oregonian. "And, unfortunately, playing hard was not rewarded tonight by whatever rule was supposedly violated by a player that was playing hard.' Rasmussen said he asked for the review because Aroz didn't attempt to slide. "That was the big thing. It just felt like he didn't go down for an actual baseball move," he told reporters. "That's what I saw in the moment... All I know was that our catcher got hit hard and I was right there for his safety. And I'm glad that it obviously went in our direction.' Oregon has to avoid elimination against Cal Poly on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET. Utah Valley will face Arizona in the winners bracket at 9 p.m. ET.

Riley Nelson hits go-ahead homer in 7th, top national seed Vanderbilt avoids upset against Wright St
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Riley Nelson hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning, JD Thompson struck out 12 in eight innings and No. 1 national seed Vanderbilt completed its fifth straight come-from-behind victory at home with a 4-3 victory over Wright State on Friday in the Nashville Regional. Vanderbilt used three late home runs to avoid becoming the first national No. 1 seed to lose a regional opener since the tournament went to its current format in 1999. The top-seeded teams are now 26-0 in openers. Advertisement Wright State jumped out to a 3-0 lead after four innings on home runs by Conlan Daniel and Boston Smith. But the game changed after Wright State pulled starter Cam Allen, who had a no-hitter through six innings. Brodie Johnston broke up the no-hitter with his team-high 14th home run of the season over the left-field wall leading off the seventh. Mike Mancini hit his fourth home run of the season in the eighth, just over a leaping attempt by center fielder Smith. Nelson's deep shot over the pole in right field was initially called foul before it was over overturned on the field. Wright State's challenge was unsuccessful. Advertisement Vanderbilt (43-16) will look for its 10th straight victory on Saturday against Louisville in the winner's bracket. Wright State (38-20) faces East Tennessee State in a loser-out game. Thompson (6-5) retired 15 of 16 batters after Smith's homer in the fourth. Sawyer Hawks struck out the side in the ninth for his eighth save. Warren Hartzell (6-3) allowed all four runs for Wright State, which last won a NCAA Tournament game in 2016. ___ AP college sports:
