It’s that time of year again–Instagram is flooding with tropical vacation photos of friends, family, celebrities, and fashion influencers taking lavish vacations to warm-weather destinations. We’re not going to lie, if you’re stuck sitting at your desk instead of sitting at the beach, these photos can start to drive you a little mad. However, these Instagram posts are good for something (other than making you green with envy)–they give you a glimpse at the season’s latest swimsuit trends! Right now, one-shoulder bathing suits are so in!

Let’s face it, social media practically runs our world these days. For everything from where to shop to outfit ideas, we turn to the world wide web and apps like Instagram. The aesthetically pleasing, photo-sharing smartphone app lets us take a peek inside the lives of others. It’s an amazing resource to check out the latest fashion and beauty trends that style bloggers, fashion-forward celebrities, and big-name influencers are loving. Brands even share new launches and inspiration on their carefully curated Instagram feeds.

If you’ve opened Instagram recently then chances are you’ve seen plenty of these one-shoulder bathing suits we’re talking about. The swimsuit trend has become a beloved favorite of many fashion it-girls. And we can totally see why! The one-shoulder bathing suit style looks fresh, chic, and fun–everything you could ever want out of a summer swimsuit!

Whether you’re sitting poolside or oceanside, this new one-shoulder bathing suit style looks glamorous–but in an effortless sort of way, not like you’re trying too hard. The one-shoulder swimsuit comes in a variety of styles. There are one-shoulder bikinis and one-shoulder one-pieces, one-shoulder suits with cutouts and one-shoulder suits in prints, the list goes on and on. There’s truly something out there for everyone, no matter what your style preference is. Personally, we want one of each!

One Piece Swimsuit

PacSun Asymmetrical One Shoulder One Piece Swimsuit ($92)

Plenty of major swimsuit brands have made their own one-shoulder bathing suits. This one from PacSun's Sports Illustrated Swim collection is an asymmetrical one-shoulder one piece with a fun neckline. While the bathing suit is simple, the creative shoulder straps make it fun.

One Shoulder Bikini Top

PacSun Loverbird One Shoulder Bikini Top ($49)

One-shoulder bikini tops like this bathing suit look sporty and laidback while being super stylish. We love the bow tie on the shoulder of this one. The style of the bikini top is simple but the unique pattern and one-shoulder strap mix things up.
