Kendall Jenner recently made a splash in a Calzedonia two-piece crafted from a shiny satin that gave off a 'wet look'

Kendall struck a seductive pose in her itsy-bitsy lime green bikini and matching beach towel.

Mermaids look out! The satin fabric of Kendall's suit gave off a 'wet look' aesthetic.

Shine bright in a lurex fabric

For those who want to stand out on the sand, opt for a suit made of lurex.

The glamorous material incorporates metallic threads, which give it a shiny, glittery appearance.

Be it a one-piece, sting bikini or tankini, a suit made of lurex reflects sunlight beautifully and appears very luxurious.

Add overall allure to your look by accessorizing with jewelry in a gold or silver metal, a simple coverup and a pair elegant sandals.

Do get it twisted!

Twists add a little extra pizazz to your basic bikini.

The fun detail can serve both functional and decorative purposes. It can be used to provide better fit and support, and create interesting shapes that add to the visual appeal of the garment.

Kylie Jenner offered a fitted top in her Khy collection with an asymmetrical off-the-shoulder twist detail last season.

The element created a buzz as it was rumored to have been taken from Australian brand Johansen who debuted the design element years ago.

The detail is stylish, sexy, of-the-moment and will soon appeal to a broad audience.

Buy one now and get ahead of the pack!

Flowers? For summer? Groundbreaking!

Rosette details add a three-dimensional element and feminine touch to swimwear, making this season's pieces feel romantic and elegant.

From subtle accents to bold statement pieces, 3-D flowers add texture and visual interest to a look and are much more glamorous than a floral print.

Carry out the sophisticated and girlish look with a flouncy skirt and a glam tote bag.

No one will ever know you're wearing your bathing suit

As the line between clothing and swimwear becomes more and more blurred, swim brands are creating bikini tops that can easily be your favorite club shirt.

Be it a bandeau, short sleeved top or corset, this season's bikinis would look just as great at the bar as they do on the beach.

For a sexy look on a balmy evening, style your new bikini top with a pair of high waisted jeans and a linen shirt unbuttoned.

Slip into a pair of kitten heel mules and grab a clutch and you're good to go!

Heavy metals

Shopping for an upscale swimwear option? Look no further that a suit with hardware details!

A one-piece is often considered a classic but a style featuring metallic hardware can transform a simple design into a fashion-forward piece.

Rings, chains, zippers, and buckles add edge, as well as a sense of luxury and sophistication.

A suit with hardware is also very photogenic. So be sure to take plenty of pics!

No need to add any additional bling, just pair it with a long kaftan in a solid color and a simple sandal.
