**B. swim** beachwear pushes the edginess of [swimwear fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swim-line). With such names as Shake Ya Tail Feather, Miss Daisy, and Queen's Rhyche, it's obvious that they are appealing to a very special bunch that shop at high end retailers.

All of B. swim's designers are electric and targeted to the fashionistas who want to bare a lot of skin with low rise sand flirty cuts, while drawing maximum attention with [splashes of vibrant colour](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-club). The [vintage inspired prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-second-swim-drop) and accessories make for a novel twist to this summer-time staple.
