Say goodbye to matching Solid bikini tops with perfectly matched bikini bottoms — the new look in swimwear is all about pairing unconventional mod print tops with bold patterns, stripes or solids.
We spotted this model sporting a chic and strappy Lost Volcom two piece at the Miami swimwear Show in July. She’s wearing a retro-inspired, multi-colored, quilt-print Halter bikini paired with a black and white hipster bottom with long, strappy tie sides.
We love the freedom this gives us in pairing bikini tops with different bikini bottoms that you didn’t necessarily purchase together. In fact, Salinas captures this look of pairing eclectic prints and colors.
Take a look at her Tango Ruffle bikini that pairs a fabulous triangle print top with a tropical themed bottom. The Hoola Ruffle bikini also veers away from the “perfectly matched” traditional bikini look.
But Salinas really sets the theme of pairing eclectic prints with her Fashion Show Banana bikini! We think it’s an easy showstopper at the beach.
And this swimwear trend is hot in Hollywood too. Singer Rihanna absolutely sizzles in a zebra-striped, Bandeau/halter paired with a mod-print bikini bottom.
