It's already been confirmed by a JP dev some time ago that we'll get yukata and geta slippers. Whether or not they're "sexy" or more traditional is up in the air.
Unless those plans have completely changed. I'll be sad if they have.

my guess will be 1.23 when they release the next season event
Yes I'm quite aware of this already and since it was not confirmed by a Dev stating specificly only the Yukatas and Getas this event, I'm sure we can obtain the swimsuits. Unless you show me otherwise it will be obtainable next summer event just like the Easter hats were.
During the first Letter from the Producer LIVE, one of the questions was about sexy gear. This was from October, so after the Firefall Faire. Why would they be referring to adding swimsuits as sexy gear in 1.22 or 1.23 if they had already been added to the game?

Q: When are you planning on introducing cool and sexy gear?
A: Cool and sexy gear, huh… Actually, it so happens that we've been looking into this. For starters there'll be job-specific equipment, and other equipment for classes, such as crafters or gatherers which is something we'd like to get right. This is on the white board and is clearly a must have feature so we'll be giving it priority. Regarding sexy gear and what to expect, it should be released as part of 1.22 or 1.23. That may sound a long way off but we are focusing and duly working on it so please keep your expectations high.
But it is not a monopoly for people who played from january 2012 until 2.0 beta.
It is more a monopoly for people who played summer 2011. Like the yukatas would be a monopoly for people who played summer 2012.
fixed it a bit
It's a reward of a saisonal event. Don't espect that the events would be exactly the same each year. Like the easter hats, we didn't get a chocobo hat this year. If you want a saisonal item, be sure you participate in the event.
I started playing pretty recently and would like a shot at the swimsuits. New stuff would be great too, of course!
