It’s not driven by what’s new for the sake of newness, but by how women are actually wearing swim — how it fits into their lives, their travels, and the rhythm of their days. 

At ViX, the forecast feels clear. Swim is evolving beyond the beach, into a way of dressing that moves effortlessly between destinations, moments, and moods. Looking ahead, here’s everything you need to know.

In 2026, swim silhouettes (will) take center stage. Sculptural cuts, asymmetrical necklines, and refined hardware elements bring intention and structure without stiffness or added weight. These are designs that feel considered, meant to frame the body rather than compete with it. The result is swimwear that feels fluid and easy.

The surface matters more now. Aside from leaning on prints to leave an impression, look to other options like tactile finishes and quiet depth. Dimensional knits, hand-applied details, and elevated fabrics catch the light subtly, adding interest through touch and movement. That’s why texture is becoming more of a focal point these days — understated, nuanced, and undeniably modern.

The line between swim and ready-to-wear continues to blur. One piece swimsuits are doubling as bodysuits (take a cue from Brazilians; they already do this). Even bikini tops layer effortlessly into everyday looks. Wear under linen or silk-blend pieces for an easy, elevated feel. Case in point: swimwear doesn’t have to be packed away in between dips — it can be worn all day. From poolside mornings to spontaneous afternoons and golden-hour plans, swimwear becomes part of the full look.

This is a continuation for us, not an arrival (and most definitely never a departure). At ViX, craftsmanship has always been central, and as we look toward 2026, it reemerges as a true luxury signal. Handwoven details, artisanal finishes, and thoughtful construction define what feels elevated now. These are pieces designed with care — made to last, season after season.

The takeaway? 2026 isn’t about reinvention — it’s about refinement. Swimwear becomes more personal, more versatile, and more expressive of the woman wearing it. Designed to travel well. Designed to live in. Explore the latest at ViX Paula Hermanny.
