Summer 2026 beachwear: the bikini as the star of every day under the sun

Summer brings long days, full light and a desire to relax. Between holidays, weekends away and afternoons on the beach, the bikini becomes a natural choice.

Whether at the seaside, by the lake or at the pool, every occasion calls for swimwear that is comfortable, beautiful and easy to wear. The bikini adapts effortlessly to the rhythms of summer, following every plan of the day. From the busiest beaches to relaxing moments, it remains an essential base of the summer wardrobe.

The new Undercolors of Benetton collection interprets beachwear with a wide variety of styles. From minimal bikinis to more decorative details, each proposal plays with different colors, textures and shapes. A selection designed to offer solutions for every style, from coordinated sets to personalized mix-and-match combinations.

Brassiere bikinis: clean lines and luminous details for summer

For maximum comfort and natural support, choosing women’s brassiere bikinis can be an excellent idea. Solid-color styles can be easily paired with matching bottoms for a clean, linear effect, while high-waisted bottoms are also a great option for a retro-inspired look.

The lurex version adds a subtle shine that is perfect for summer days. Wear it with high-waisted bottoms for a more defined, modern silhouette. Alternatively, choose bottoms with bows or ties for a more dynamic touch.

They are very versatile and adapt well to different moments of the day at the beach, working both as a coordinated set and in mix & match with other bottoms from the collection.

Triangle bikinis: a classic renewed with crochet and floral appliqués

Triangle women’s swimsuits are one of the most iconic styles of summer beachwear. The SS26 Undercolors of Benetton collection is enriched with bikinis featuring crochet work with a natural, lightweight feel.

The versions with floral appliqués bring fresh, immediate energy to beach looks. Pair them with side-tie bottoms for a more romantic result. Or with classic bikini bottoms and thin ties for a more essential style.

These bikinis leave plenty of room for personalization and freedom of pairing: every combination of top and bottom changes the character of the swimsuit.

Bandeau bikinis: floral prints and reversible styles

For those looking for clean lines and an even tan, bandeau bikinis are the way to go. Styles with floral prints can be worn with matching bottoms for a harmonious effect or with high-waisted bottoms for a more elegant, structured look.

Reversible styles offer two looks in a single bikini. They pair well with classic bottoms or adjustable tie bottoms, and with one simple gesture you can switch from a solid color to a different print.

Able to perfectly combine aesthetics and functionality, they are a practical solution that makes it possible to create always-new combinations even during the same day: ideal for those who love changing looks even on the beach.

Underwire bikinis: the chicest styles of summer

Underwire bikinis, on the other hand, are the best option for those looking for women’s swimwear that can naturally guarantee support and definition.

To be worn with classic bottoms, adjustable side-tie bottoms or bottoms with tie fastenings for a lighter effect, they are designed to combine confidence and style.

From total black styles, which pair easily with matching bottoms for an elegant effect, to brown styles that work well with high-waisted bottoms for a warmer look: they are a modern classic that always remains a reliable choice.
