This year eye-catching prints are back and better than ever. Expect to see leopard, zebra, geometric, stripes, floral and more on swimsuits. Prints are great for all body types – so shove that drab navy blue one-piece in a drawer and find something that POPS!
Set those shoulders free! It’s time to get rid of the white tan lines and show off your collarbone. It seems strapless is alive and well this year when it comes to designer swimwear – both on and off the runway. Bikinis, tankinis and many other styles are getting rid of extra ties and straps – do you dare?
Not ready for the strapless look just yet? Dare to bare…ONE shoulder in these new, fun designs. Hold it all together while still showing some sexy with everything from thin bands to golden rings to earthy braids. One thing is certain, 2012 women’s swimwear trends are all about having fun and looking good!
Get ready to welcome that sweet, retro feel with pretty pastels and lots of ruffles. Don’t be surprised when you find a cute bow or two as well. It’s a great style that looks good on every body type and an excellent way to give an added Oomph! if you’re lacking a little in the top! Additionally, ruffles can be a smart way to hide a less than flattering hip or thigh line as well – without losing any of that flirty appeal!
So what are my personal favorite styles this year? I’m so glad you asked. Here are a few of my top picks from SwimSpot, designer swimwear.
#1 Luxe By Lisa Vogel – Opening Night Peekaboo Tankini Top ($91.00) – I have always been a fan of classic black. Pair it with the concealing power of a soft tankini top and you’ve got a great way to be sexy without showing it all.
#2 Luxe By Lisa Vogel – Opening Day Vintage Maillot Swimsuit ($77.40) – I am in love with olive green this year. Earthy yet warm, this suit has a subtle sexiness with a retro feel. The banded waist also adds tummy control – always a bonus!
#3 Athena Turkish Tile Retro Bikini ($62.00) – This year I made a promise to myself that I’d branch out from my usual dark colors and try something vibrant! This bikini allows me the coverage I need to feel comfortable with the added benefit of a push up top for a little ‘help’ upstairs.
I must admit, I knew what styles I liked – but I wasn’t sure which styles looked best on me. SwimSpot has that covered with their Fit Specialist service online. Get tips and analysis so you can choose the best suit for your body this year. If you have different needs for different areas of your body (big hips, small top – anyone? That’d be me.) then check out their Bikini Builder – customize the fit so that you can stop tugging things down and covering things up this summer!
