There's one detail taking over beaches and feeds this summer: the heart-shaped tan line. It isn't a filter, it's a swimsuit. But by now the heart has invaded everything: sunglasses, bags, jewellery, lingerie and even home linen. In this guide we start with the piece that launched the trend — the Dream Shop Little Heart Brazilian bottoms — and take you through the whole heart capsule, from the beach to the evening and all the way to your sofa.
The heart swimsuit and the tan line everyone's talking about
The principle is simple and brilliant: the bottoms have two small heart-shaped cut-outs, so when you sunbathe the exposed skin tans while the covered skin stays pale. The result is a perfectly drawn heart-shaped tan line on your hips, which stays there even once you're dressed and has become the playful, sexy symbol of summer 2026.
The Little Heart Brazilian Bottoms are ultra high-leg and flatter the hips while lengthening the leg: pair them with whichever top you like, because the bottoms are already the star. Do you love a heart at the front too? The Metal Heart Bikini features a metal heart between the two pieces, while the Heart Hole Briefs play with an even bolder heart cut-out.
Little Heart Brazilian Bottoms
Heart cut-outs on the hips, ultra high-leg cut, a tan line effect that draws two hearts on sun-kissed skin. These are the bottoms that made the summer 2026 trend go viral.
Pair them with your favourite top: the heart does all the work.

Heart sunglasses and jewellery: the accessories of the trend
Once the heart wins you over, you want it everywhere. And accessories are the quickest — and cheapest — way to ride the trend. Sunglasses with heart-shaped lenses are the absolute must: retro, tongue-in-cheek and hugely photogenic, they turn even the simplest beach look into content worth posting.
The Rhinestone Heart Sunglasses covered in crystals are the most striking piece, but if you love glitter there are the Glitter Heart Sunglasses and the romantic pearl version, the Pearl Heart Sunglasses. The heart returns on the face too, in the Giant Diamond Heart Earrings and, for the boldest, in the rhinestone Heart Body Jewel that decorates the neckline.
Rhinestone Heart Sunglasses
Heart-shaped frames entirely covered in crystals: the most photographed accessory of the summer. They give character to any beach outfit in a second.
Perfect for beach photos and for playing with the trend without commitment.

Heart bags: the accessory that makes the look
If there's one accessory that tells the whole trend on its own, it's the heart bag. From summer straw to a sparkling mini bag, the heart becomes a shape, a handle or an appliqué. A bag like this never goes unnoticed and turns even the most basic look into something considered.
The Straw Bag with Heart Handle in rhinestones is the piece of the summer: natural and jewel-like at once, perfect from the beach to aperitivo. For the evening, the Heartstrassy Mini Bag with its openwork heart and crystal handle adds sparkle, while the transparent Red Heart Shopper is the witty, roomy daytime choice.
Straw Bag with Heart Handle
Natural straw and a jewel handle shaped like a heart in rhinestones: the perfect union of beachy boho mood and glamour. Available in two styles.
Take it to the beach by day and to aperitivo in the evening, always centre stage.

Heart lingerie and underwear: the sexiest version
In the evening, the heart changes mood and turns sensual. Heart-themed lingerie is the most playful and provocative chapter of the trend: tulle knickers with a heart, suspender belts with heart studs, hold-ups with a heart motif.
The Transparent Heart Knickers in tulle with a decorative heart are the most coveted piece, sweet and daring at once. Pair them with the Single Heart Studs Suspender Belt, the heart-print hold-ups and the tulle little-hearts lingerie set for an irresistible vintage-boudoir effect.

The heart when it cools down: shirts, sweatshirts and denim
The heart trend isn't afraid of cooler evenings or of coming home. Heart sweatshirts, cardigans and denim bring the trend into your everyday wardrobe, with cut-out details and rhinestones that make them anything but ordinary. Perfect to keep in your bag for when the sun goes down on the beach, or for the first days of September.
The Heartstrass Sweatshirt with a heart cut out on the back edged in rhinestones is the statement piece, playful and sexy. Lighter, the Heart Shirt in denim with a heart print remains the beach wildcard. To be really daring, there's the Rhinestone Heart Denim Jacket with a heart of sparkling fringing on the back, the Heart & Rhinestone Cardigan and the Metalheart Mini Blazer with applied hearts.

The Real Heart Vase, shaped like an anatomical heart, is a design object that takes centre stage on a shelf. For the bedroom, the Burgundy Hearts Bedding Set and the Biggy Red Hearts Bedding Set dress the bed in romance, while the Thousand Hearts Bathroom Set coordinates the most intimate corner of the house too.

Frequently asked questions about heart Brazilian bottoms and the heart trend
How does the swimsuit that leaves a heart-shaped tan line work?
The heart Brazilian bottoms have two small heart-shaped cut-outs on the hips: the exposed skin tans while the covered skin stays pale, drawing a heart-shaped tan line that remains visible even once you're dressed. The Dream Shop Little Heart Brazilian Bottoms are the style that launched the trend in summer 2026.
How do you style heart Brazilian bottoms?
The Little Heart Brazilian bottoms pair with whichever swimsuit top you prefer, triangle or bandeau, because the heart detail is already the star. Out of the water they look great under low-rise shorts or with an open denim shirt, so the heart-shaped tan line stays on show.
Which heart accessories are in fashion for summer 2026?
The most popular heart accessories are sunglasses with heart-shaped lenses (in rhinestone, glitter or pearl versions), heart earrings, heart bags — from straw with a jewel handle to the transparent shopper — and body jewellery such as the rhinestone heart body jewel. You'll find the selection among the sunglasses and the Dream Shop women's accessories.
Can the heart trend be worn away from the beach and at home?
Yes. Besides swimwear and accessories, the heart appears on lingerie (tulle knickers, suspender belts and heart stockings), on clothing such as sweatshirts, shirts, cardigans and denim with cut-out or applied hearts, and even at home with bedding sets, bathroom sets and heart-shaped vases. It's an all-round trend that suits every moment of the day.
Are heart Brazilian bottoms right for everyone?
The Little Heart Brazilian bottoms are an ultra high-leg style designed for anyone who loves minimal swimwear, flattering the hips and lengthening the leg. The heart detail adds a sweet, playful touch that softens the daring cut, making it suitable for anyone who wants to be bold with a light heart. If you prefer, you can choose the metal heart bikini for a more discreet heart.
