The above solution by vojtech-vrbka is correct but it triggers a warning:

warning:UICollectionViewFlowLayout has cached frame mismatch for index path - cached value: This is likely occurring because the flow layout subclass Layout is modify attributes returned by UICollectionViewFlowLayout without copying them

The following code should fix it:

class CustomViewFlowLayout : UICollectionViewFlowLayout {

   let cellSpacing:CGFloat = 4

   override func layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? {
       let original = super.layoutAttributesForElementsInRect(rect)

       if let original = original {
           let attributes = NSArray.init(array: original, copyItems: true) as! [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]

           for (index, attribute) in attributes.enumerate() {
                if index == 0 { continue }
                let prevLayoutAttributes = attributes[index - 1]
                let origin = CGRectGetMaxX(prevLayoutAttributes.frame)
                if(origin + cellSpacing + attribute.frame.size.width < self.collectionViewContentSize().width) {
                    attribute.frame.origin.x = origin + cellSpacing
                }
            }
            return attributes
       }
       return nil
   }
}
