Can I be honest? I don’t really gag for Miami Swim Week like that. I think it’s not the most influential place to discover swimwear trends. I categorize swimwear less as a fashion category and more as a lifestyle category. But it is indeed Miami Swim Week 2024, and I needed to tune in.

Here’s my thing. I think that swimwear is influenced by movies about European holidays and music videos and television shows and Coachella. I treat it as differently from traditional fashion because it has to exist in a location, as a special edition look to your wardrobe. We know how many people kind of get whole new wardrobes when they go on beachy vacations. A true glamorous swim-centric wardrobe is about going to the beach and then wearing something over it that’s easy to put in a beach bag because you need to get oysters and Aperol Spritzes with a hottie you met at the club the night before. And I think the culture surrounding swimwear runway shows is that so rarely are the garments that they show meant for a real life context.

Luckily, I enlisted the help of the StyleCaster editors to chat about what stood out to us at Miami Swim Week.
