Without further ado, here are the shows we attended, the designers and styles we connected with, everything else our readers need to know. Flattering cuts, daring styles, pops of color and celebrating every body type are all on the menu in 2021. After attending these shows, it’s clear that designers know exactly what we need this year, which includes swimwear and cover-ups for all of the vacations we’ll be taking post-quarantine.

Let’s get to what you’ve all been waiting for: the latest swimwear trends and shows we experienced during Paraiso Miami Beach Swim Week.

We’re big planners, so this sense of normalcy is bringing us back to life. We’re happy to report that our summer schedule is officially back on track after a foggy, chaotic 2020, and it was so refreshing to experience Paraiso Miami Beach Swim Week in person like we always did before the pandemic. This time last year we were reporting on the “digital shows” we were invited to via Zoom from Paraiso Miami Beach, which seems like a lifetime ago.
