Bring extra sparkle to your poolside look this season with the glittery swimsuit trend. From dancefloor-worthy lamés to sparkly lurex, worked into bikinis too (if that’s more your vibe), here are our favourites.

Fashion’s flirtation with all things ‘70s continues to flourish this season, making its way into swimwear – and it’s giving nothing but Studio 54 vibes by the sea. Sure to create an iconic moment on your summer holiday, you’ll find plenty of styles to choose from. Think retro-inspired halter necks from cool swimwear brand Away That Day to Little Mermaid-inspired, shell-adorned one-pieces by Oséree.

The trend is giving nothing but Studio 54 vibes by the sea.

Speaking of, this really is the brand to check out if you love this look and are looking to invest. Sparkly swimsuits and bikinis are their thing, especially in their signature Lumière finish that will have you shimmering in the Ibizan sun or around a UK spa pool. Their cuts are cool and fashion-led, colour palettes rich, and fits flatter all body shapes. 

On the high street, John Lewis has a great sparkly one-piece in a suitably retro rust colour. Meanwhile, Free People’s Frankie bikinis come in a rainbow of sparkling colours and cuts with more coverage, giving them a cool surfer-girl vibe. One thing is for sure: this trend is set to make you feel the most glamorous you’ve ever been on the beach.
