Category: Hot spot May 21st, 2012

Beach season is here! You maybe both excited and a bit worried as you have not chosen beach wardrobe yet! This season is offering some rather tasteful and unique styles!

Check out the most exciting and hottest 2012 smiwsuit trends!

Retro-Inspired Swimwuits

Retro is again in fashion. While men don’t really find high-wasted bottoms and full-coverage tops very appealing you can wear a retro-inspired bikini or a one-piece suit to cover your problem areas and feel comfortable in any situation.

Tribal-Inspired Swimsuits

Go wild in the water: The biggest festival trend this year is tribal-inspired gear. Think lots of animal print, geometric shapes, and bold stripes. You can take this trend in a number of different directions, and designers are integrating tribal patterns into one-pieces, monokinis, and two-pieces.

One-Pieces and Monokinis

The monokini, which became a popular alternative to the bikini a couple of seasons ago, is back … and this time, it’s bringing the one-piece with it! This season’s stylish one-piece can thank two ultra-popular trends for its comeback – colorblocking and one-shoulder tops. The combination of bright, blocked neons just seems to work better on a one-piece. And one-shoulder cuts make one-pieces look fashionably beach-ready. Keep covered and comfortable in either of these styles.

Florals and Ruffles

This season, flirty florals are totally in – Hawaiian prints, multi-colored gardens, tiny peonies, and bold rose bandeaus are everywhere – and bows and ruffles integrated into tops and bottoms keep the style soft, flirty, and youthful. As for ruffles – any swimsuit with ruffles is the ultimate winner. Not only does it accentuate all your assets, but it makes it seem like you are always having a good time even if you’re not in the water.

Clear Cut

Embrace the high-brow take on showing off your curves with cool, sculptural one-pieces.

Contrast Bikini Sets

Be bold and don a contarst bikini set! Non-matching bikinis can be pretty hot! Some brands sell tops and bottoms separately, you can simply match any colors or prints you like and usually comes out really nice.

Knitted Swimsuits

Not all ladies admitted that the knitted swimwear are comfortable and practical. But today most women are going to purchase such ones as knitted swimwear is called the trend of 2012-2013! The choice is pretty wide: you can pick up from knitted trikinis, one-piece swimsuits, bikinis, g-string bikinis! And if you are worried about whether you can really swim in these suits, the answer is yes!

Cut Out

We know cut-outs have been around for a while now, but there’s a reason why they’re still here! Keep it fresh with some fierce snakeskin and accentuate your curves by cinching it at the waist!

Nautical Style

For this season, once again we see all the classic elements of the nautical swimwear trend, but with a slightly retro, yet luxe vibe. Whether you are on a vacation or even stay-cation, being sea-worthy in the fashion stakes is such a timeless fashion story that simply works year after year. The big bonus is it’s just so wearable for all ages, shapes, and sizes too.
