In the realm of Coachella trends, we’re happy to leave crochet and headbands to die in the desert (chokers and shoulder-baring tops, you may proceed). Another pool party style we’ll be carrying into summer 2016 is the bold printed bikini. Kylie Jenner’s standout Discount Universe look set a new wave in motion (and we’re not referring to the unfounded accusations of fashion plagiarism). Though three runway/festival/off-duty sightings usually mark a trend, when King Kylie does it, you can strike that number down to one. (After all, she is now a bona fide swimwear designer.)
Subtle surf sets had their time. This season try out a bold, unabashed swimsuit that draws attention to your assets and your eye for detail. With a myriad of patterns and materials to choose from, these carefully coordinated pieces allow you to express your personality as you soak in the sun (through your SPF). Shop some of our favorites below.
