Swimsuit Trends 2014: Ruffles and Tribal Print

Summer is quickly approaching, and with summer comes new swimsuit trends. Last year retro bikinis saw a comeback and they'll be popular again this summer. But what are some new trends to rock for summer 2014? Ruffles! Ruffles are a great way to emphasize either your upper body, lower body or both. If you're pear-shaped, try wearing either a swimsuit that is embellished with ruffles at the top; if you're apple-shaped, wearing a skirt with ruffles will balance out your figure. Of course, when it comes to trends, the most important thing is to have fun. You never know how long they'll last.

Everyone likes to wear bright colors when they're on the beach or in the pool, and this summer will prove no different. Tribal prints were all over the runway this year, so you'll definitely be seeing a fair share of this trend in swimwear this season.
