Californian swimwear brand Banana Moon is back for another summer season and has all the things one needs to rock the seaside. The Banana Moon 2016 swimwear collection will suit basically any taste, from casual to more glamorous ones. The spring/summer 2016 swimwear trends have, in fact, all been featured in Banana Moon’s collection, including the Banana Moon Couture and the Teen lines.

California-based Banana Moon was founded by Veronique and Bernard Donati when, the same year, the couple made the acquaintance of French designer Nat Maori. The trio quickly began designing European-style pieces that were not only cozy, but also extremely glamorous, at the same time exuding some strong California dreaming vibes. Season after season, the Donatis along with Maori managed to create the perfect Europe Couture meets Californian beachwear combo, and such results could be perfectly seen in this latest Banana Moon 2016 swimsuit collection too.

While both the Banana Moon Couture and Banana Moon 2016 swimwear line-ups drew inspiration from the ethnic-chic trend, Banana Moon Teen took the Nineties and reinvented their major trends adding some cool Millennial vibes, saturating the colors and accentuating the prints with bold color-blocking motifs. Banana Moon Teen has always been a huge fan of vibrant colors, but this time we could rightly state the label definitely outdid itself with some cheerful neon lace-up details and bold statements.

Banana Moon Teen’s proposals greatly vary from solid-colored to bright neon pieces, and even include fishnet appliqués and fierce captions such as ‘Born in the Nineties’. The line-up features both one-pieces and bikinis, with a great emphasis on bandeau bras and sporty-chic proposals (which are basically perfect for all the girls who both like playing beach volley and enjoy the sea breeze in the mornings). We particularly recommend opting for the Teen section if you are really into prints and metallic patterns!

As for the Banana Moon Couture and Banana Moon main lines, the proposals seem to not have enough of frills, fringes and exquisitely beaded embroideries, making it really hard to choose which bikini one likes the most. When it comes to Banana Teen, we see youthful designs from bandeaus to push-ups, cropped tops and even off-the-shoulder ones.

While stripes have their big moment within the Couture section, floral patterns equally shine in both the lines, with the only difference that it’s up to the main line to channel the brightest colors. The Couture section is less bold and more mature/classic, while the other one is fearlessly bold and is not afraid to sport color-blocking motifs as well. If you are looking for something more cheerful yet not as Millennial-approved as the Teen’s proposals, we recommend checking out Banana Moon’s main proposals, while those who are looking for something less eye-catching yet adequately unique, the Couture line-up could just be what you have always been looking for!

The Banana Moon swimwear 2015 collection has officially released its new designs, within three different categories. We have the lovely regular women’s collection, the couture alternatives and the teen designs. Each piece out of the swimwear collections encourages us to be more youthful, to enjoy the sun just a little more and to really revel in the bodies we have been blessed with. There is a piece for everyone, from the more daring to the more sporty, from the typical ‘90s child to the more modern woman in love with the hashtag craze. Strapless to triangle, bright colors to trending floral prints, the Banana Moon swimwear 2015 collection covers the coolest summer 2015 swimwear trends.

It was in 1984 that Daniel Flachaire, his wife Veronique and two others, including a French designer living in the United States named Nar Maori, gave birth to the Californian Sunwear brand known as Banana Moon. For some reason, we feel like writing black moon, but banana is a lot more fitting when considering the fun and innovating patterns included in the yearly line-ups. It is a combination of the Californian focus on sports and vitamins, mixed with the French love of fashion, combining to create a brand that thrives on the vitality of the colors and the energy found in the shapes used to produce the dynamic designs. This in itself also ensures better comfort while practicing sports, allowing a woman to enjoy showing off her muscular body without worry about flashing those around her.

The Banana Moon swimwear summer 2015 collection that is for the typical woman, not in the couture or teen sections, features a great love for prints. We have splatters of abstract tropical design set against a Caribbean sunset, carpet floral woven prints that put the ladies in the industry to shame with their colors and expertise, pretty spring zigzag with floral designs that bring out the innocence in our hearts, tropical plants and scenery from the warmest of Amazon locations, and all other forms of flowery concoctions that could possibly be found appealing by the mass market. You have string bikinis and high waist designs, string back single pieces and tasselled alternatives; there are crochets and single blocks of color. Most of all, each piece is about showing off a woman’s sensuality and empowering her with a zest of confidence little found elsewhere.

While the regular collection focused more on the colors and the prints, the Banana Moon swimwear couture 2015 collection adds some sass, working with the fabrics and the different cuts. We still see string bikinis and triangle tops, but we also see a good amount of stretch lace, of fringed looks, of extra attention paid to each piece to ensure they are a perfect match in embroidery as well as colour. Halter tops are a common staple here as well, while the whole of the collection appears to be for a more mature market that understand the detail put into each bikini top or bottom.

The ample bosom of a mature woman would be needed to fill out the couture collection’s pieces, but the teen version doesn’t have that problem. Instead of focusing on the ultra-sexy here, it is the sporty look that grabs the attention. The sunflower against black tie bikini definitely grabs the attention, while most of the line-up seems to feature strapless looks. All in all, three of the collections are enough to have us dreaming of summer sun and surf!
