The bikini trends of 2022 are all about having your very best, hottest summer yet. And making things even more fun, the tie-dye craze that swept the nation in 2020 is still going strong, especially in swimsuit form. This beach szn, you can try some new trends to make your tie-dye suit *pop* even more: think straps everywhere (including the "upside-down bikini" trend), minimal coverage (if that's something you're into), and bold cut-outs.

There's a lil something for everyone here: We've got colorful tie-dye suits that channel a funky '70s vibe and others that are more ~subtle~. We've got full coverage one-pieces for the ladies who'd rather not show their bellybuttons (it's me, I am this person, and FYI, I found the cutest suit). And we've got the teensiest bikinis if you want the exact opposite. No matter what your vision is for your summer aesthetic, there's a tie-dye suit to match. Promise.

Our top picks for the best tie-dye swimsuits in 2022:

Also, if you don't see a suit on here that's exactly what you're looking for, you can tie-dye a white bikini for a truly custom look. If you're down for a lil DIY action, you can find all the tips at the end of this post, yw. In the meantime, shop these 20 options and have the very best time on the water, bb.

Strappy Tank Bikini Top

Pros

  • simple, effective design

Cons

  • not a ton of support

This simple pink number is perfect if you just wanna dip a toe (no pun intended) into the tie-dye trend. The bandeau with straps doubles as a bralette—just know that it doesn't have a ton of support, if that matters to you—and the v-shape bottoms are so flattering.

Glowing Review: "Great colors, very flattering, good quality. Usually wear a size 36D and bought a XL."

Leisure Reversible Bottoms

Pros

  • customizable

Cons

  • top isn't reversible

These ~reversible~ bottoms mean that you can have two suits in one. This one is neon pink and tie-dye, and pairs well with the tie-dye top (which also has a shelf bra, removable pads, and adjustable straps).

Glowing Review: "These bottoms are awesome and the fact that they’re reversible is ideal for making more swimsuit options. Holds you in without squeezing the pudge! I’m 5’7,” about 160 pounds, small chested, size Large. My first two-piece in years—very happy with it and how flattering it is."

Pros

  • inclusive sizing

Cons

  • not great for v short torsos

You cannot go wrong with a classic tie-dye pattern that absolutely channels the '70s every time you put it on. This suit goes up to 3XL and has a plunging back for a *va-va-voom* effect.

Glowing Review: "SO COMFORTABLE AND FLATTERING! I’m obsessed. I’m 5’7” and 130 lb. Most of my weight on bottom half. Size B chest. Size small fit perfectly."

Pros

  • adjustable straps and stretch fit

Cons

  • might not be comfortable for everyone

If you wanna absolutely stun everyone at the beach/pool/lake/body of water, opt for this cutout suit. You have to be ready for some weird tan lines, but how cool are these metal pieces that hold top and bottom together and make the whole thing feel so edgy??

Pros

  • super cute patterns

Cons

  • doesn't have a full-coverage option

White Fox is great for customization: think two bottoms in this color and three different tops. All that, plus this fancy sarong, and you can basically make the bikini set of your dreams. Also, White Fox will tell you exactly which influencer was wearing this suit lately (lol).

9.0 Swim Frankie Multi Bikini Bottoms

Pros

  • comfy

Cons

  • daring

This bb makes use of the minimal coverage trend and the straps-everywhere trend—it's one of those 'kini tops that's designed to be worn upside-down, Kardashian-style. The style also comes in a floral pattern if this vivid color pattern is too much.

Glowing Review: "Absolutely in love with this whole set! Colours are so nice, fit is great. I don’t feel uncomfortable in the bottoms at all! Very sexy!"

Pros

Glowing Review: "The texture is perfect for a long day on the beach. It moves with you even if you start to feel bloated. Great in the water. It really fits right on the money. I took a risk not sizing up just to be safe and I was right!"

Pros

  • has a fun flower-tie-dye pattern

Cons

  • size up

You can wear this string top a buncha ways, and the thong bottom will give you that max "straps everywhere but minimal coverage" look you're hoping for. Or! If you want to feel a bit more covered up, get the miniskirt and layer it over as a cover-up.

Pros

  • fun and unique pattern

Cons

  • not high-coverage

For those who don't like to wear alllll the colors at once, this black and white bikini is a more subtle take on tie-dye. The top and matching bottom have adjustable tie sides and a thong style for some fun, barely-there coverage.

If you want tie-dye but make it subtle, try this brown-and-black version (although, if you like the pattern, it does come in blue and green options). There's a low-rise and tie-strap bottom, plus a one-piece if that's more your speed. Also, there's a ton more tie-dye if you search on the site.

Pros

  • super-customizable

Cons

  • needs to be hand-washed

If this suit looks familiar, it's because Alessandra Ambrosio and Avani Gregg have both worn it. There are...a whole bunch of suit options in this color, including more full-coverage options, if you'd rather take the idea of this suit and then make it your own.

Pros

  • stylish

Cons

  • thong style only

My middle school self would have ~loved~ this cross-front rainbow top and low-rise bottom. It's got "vacation in Hawaii" vibes. The color is literally called "serotonin" for a glimpse of how great it'll make you feel.

Glowing Review: "Material is great. Wore it recently and received so many compliments."

Pros

  • so comfy

Cons

  • runs small

Daze Days has a whole campaign of gorge tie-dye suits, from cutout one-pieces to the teeniest of bikinis. I actually have this one-piece: It fits fabulously and will totally double as a bodysuit when you throw your shorts on. Def size up, though.
