2022 In Review: Swimwear Trends, Giving Back, and More
How is it possible that we’ve already made it through another year? We’ve been pretty busy around here, and it’s all thanks to you! We’re incredibly thankful to have had such a successful year – we’ve watched as swimwear trends continue to evolve, planned some exciting upcoming collections, and teamed up with our wonderful customers to give back to our favorite charities. As a thank you to you all for everything you do for us, we’d like to share and reminisce on all the aspects that made this such a fantastic year. So let’s get started – here’s our 2022 in review!
Swimsuit Trends That Dominated 2022
Swimwear trends are always changing, and it’s exciting to see the next popular style. In 2022, one of the trendy pieces was the tankini top, which made a pretty big comeback. At Lime Ricki, one of our best-selling swim tops this year was the May Flowers Double Cinch Tankini Top, so we definitely agree with this trend. Knotted one-pieces took the swimsuit world by storm in 2022, and they were a big hit with all of you as well!
Based on our favorite swimwear of 2022, we found that the shoulder-tie styles were well-loved by our customers. You all loved this style so much, you put it on the list twice with the May Flowers Shoulder-Tie and the Hillside Floral Shoulder-Tie! It’s such a customizable design, due to its adjustable tie straps, so we can see why it was a fan favorite.
Lime Ricki Gives Back
Year after year, your continued support is beneficial to more than just Lime Ricki. Your purchases have helped us tremendously in our mission to give back to causes that are important to us, and this year was no different. Thanks to you all, we’ve been able to make a difference and contribute to helping others!
A portion of each purchase made this year went to Charity Water, which is an organization that brings safe, clean drinking water to developing nations. We love this charity and everything they stand for because we believe every human deserves access to clean drinking water. With each purchase you made, you did more than just buy a swimsuit; you contributed to an important cause!
In 2022, we were also lucky enough to team up with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and donate a portion of the sales from our Flourish and Bloom Collection. We have a personal connection to this cause – Nicole was diagnosed with breast cancer three times in her twenties and carries the BRCA1 mutation that causes our family to be at a higher risk. Jennifer also carries this mutation, and she beat ovarian cancer in her 40s! While Colette does not carry the mutation, she’s been by our side through it all and is our biggest cheerleader and advocate. We mean it when we say that we are so thankful to be able to donate to a cause that we care so deeply for, and you’ve made it possible to continue giving back by supporting Lime Ricki.
Upcoming Collections to Watch For
As each year ends, we always love looking back on our favorite collections. We had some truly stunning patterns that debuted in 2022! Some of our favorites were Flourish and Bloom, Cactus, Cactus Stripe, and Hillside Floral. We’re always working to design new styles and looks, and we’re very proud of how these turned out.
We want to let you in on a little secret – we have some exciting new pieces on the way in 2023, so keep an eye out! The new year will bring even more options for you to add to your Lime Ricki swimwear collection, and we think you’ll love them just as much as we do.
