Your summer vacation may have been canceled, but you can still socially distance on a sandy beach, lounge around by the pool or simply hangout in your backyard. And what better way to welcome the warm weather than with a new swimsuit (or two)? For those in a shopping mood, we’ve gone ahead and narrowed down some of the top swimsuit trends of 2020.
