How To Level Up Your Swimwear, Inspired By Paraiso’s 2022 Miami Swim Week

There’s a way to be #summertimefine while staying cool, and the best way to protect yourself from the sun’s harsh rays is pairing your swimwear with a large statement hat, as seen at BFyne’s runway show.

The floppy straw hat trend can be styled with just about any bathing suit, and Beach Bunny proved that the larger the hat, the better.

Add flair to your bikini set, like at JMP The Label’s swimwear presentation, as the daring accessory complemented the brand’s bold printed swimsuits.

Fill your gigantic handbags with your daily beach essentials or pick up some floral arrangements and organic veggies from the farmer’s market for a #cleangirl look.

Originating from Black and South Asian cultures, 2022 Miami Swim Week presented the waist chain as a fun way to add a bit of dazzle to your bathing suits.

Designers like BFyne and Monday Swimwear included a gold chain over one-pieces and bikinis, worn loosely at the waist for a slouchy yet polished vibe.

Summer style always calls for cover-ups, and the latest swim week has proven that you can still be stylish while layering up on the beach, like this breezy set from Acacia.

As spotted at Poster Girl, the “It” girl brand crafted sheer mesh gowns as an alternative to the cover-up trend, studded with purple beads.

Beaded accessories and mini bags are still strong on our trend radar and when combined, they make for an Instagram-worthy, beach-ready statement.

Whether worn with your baring bikinis or a loose-fitted look, beaded handbags were the most versatile accessory on the runway.

We’re also a huge fan of statement jewelry, and Poster Girl’s latest runway show featured how a chunky earring makes for a great stand-out piece.

Similar to last year, we’re all here for western-inspired looks, and 2022 Miami Swim Week was no exception. The sought-after aesthetic includes cowgirl boots, bolero hats, and more.

Icon Swimwear was huge on the “yeehaw” aesthetic, dressing models in its latest swimwear and pairing the looks with fun cowgirl boots.

Cowboy hats made an appearance all throughout the week, styled with cutout one-piece bathing suits for a funky twist.

Belts were a show-stopper at Miami Swim Week. Poster Girl featured thick belts adorned with jewel-studded buckles, styled with itty-bitty mini skirts and strappy bikinis.

The dazzling detail was also seen embedded into the swimwear itself, as seen on Beach Bunny’s ivory swimsuit set.

Like the bejeweled belt buckles, we’re also dripping in crystals all summer long. Beach Bunny also presented its strappy two-pieces with glittering sarongs from crystal fringe.

Also this year’s biggest “going-out” trend, the chainmail look serves as the ultimate luxe look. for those late night outs after hanging by the water all day.

There’s nothing better than a macramé cover-up, and designers added long fringe detailing to update the look this season. Cupshe layered the fun skirt over a baby blue bikini.

Colombia-based brand Bahía María added macramé in dress form on the catwalk, with the loose strings falling and flowing for an effortless look.
