Swimwear Trends 09

Bright colors are always appropriate for a day in the sun and are usually the option that I choose. These swimsuits by Victoria's Secret are flirty and attention getting. Bright colors often look great on a multitude of skin colors and will only enhance the tan you get at the beach.

This summer try out an asymmetrical one shoulder bathing suit. The style below is from Salinas for Urban Outfitters.

Another trend we have seen on the runway by such designers such as Max Azria, is the cutout suit. This bathing suit by Silence & Noise for Urban Outfitters uses this trend but the look is still subtle seeing as the front is covered.

Monokinis are popular on the runway and more interesting than a traditional two piece bathing suit. These styles are fairly similar, all have a diamond shape piece that covers the midriff. My favorite is the red and white polka dot monokini from Victoria's Secret. The black monokini is from Delia's, while the gold is Victoria's Secret and the jellyfish print is Urban Outfitters.


Strapless one pieces are great for women who are a little shy to bare all, but do not want to be completely covered. The turquoise butterfly suit is by Juicy Couture. Since red is my favorite color I'm leaning towards the red suit by La Blanca by Rod Beattie. The polkadot black suit is by Miraclesuit, a brand which helps you suck it in and look up to 10 pounds lighter.
