Studded Swimwear Trends for 2027

Studded swimwear is gaining attention as one of 2026's standout swimwear trends. From classic triangle bikinis to statement one-pieces, metallic embellishments are giving familiar silhouettes a distinctive look.

For swimwear brands planning their 2027 collections, studs offer an opportunity to introduce new designs without moving away from proven swimwear styles.

Why Studded Swimwear Is Trending

The publication describes how studded detailing, previously popular in accessories, is now appearing in swimwear collections.

This reflects a wider shift toward embellished swimwear, where hardware, texture, and decorative details bring more character to simple silhouettes.

For swimwear brands, the appeal is straightforward: studs can transform a classic bikini into a statement design while keeping the original silhouette recognizable.
