Considering trends to look edgy everywhere is important, even when it comes to just one square foot of fabric – your swimming trunks. Need some ideas to look hot and trendy on the beach? One of the hottest trends is stripes – they are classic but this year they are updated and super hot.
Being a no-brainer for beaches, nautical-inspired swimwear offers a classic way to channel some effortless Parisian cool. This season’s maritime look sees Breton stripes get an upgrade: whether they’re being tilted, stacked, layered or re-coloured, these next-level lines balance insouciance and style as only the French can.

In particular, swim shorts with bold vertical stripes are trending as they can be easily paired with a basic T-shirt and flip-flops or espadrilles for a laid-back, stylish day-to-night look this summer.

If you’re on the slimmer side, horizontal stripes will add a little width. If you’re carrying excess baggage, vertical stripes will elongate your body by drawing the eye up and down.
