Shopping for Bathing Suits
It’s a great year for swimwear! With styles ranging from chic and conservative to earthy and sexy, there is something available for everyone.
Bold prints and beautiful jewel tones are marching down the runways, and flattering cuts are taking precedence over pure sex appeal. It’s all about those special touches this year, such as elegant vintage buckles and flattering piping or delicate crochet and beadwork. African prints and tribal patterns stand side by side to the traditional animal prints, and sexy cutouts add a punch to one-piece suits.
The biggest trend, however, is the lamé bikini. This 80’s throwback epitomizes the spirit of summer – bright, optimistic and very sexy. Available in a plethora of colors, gold and silver suits will be the most popular, accessorized with just a touch of matching bling. The classic nature of this season’s swimwear means that every woman can take advantage of the most popular looks, regardless of her body type!
The Perfect Coverup
Feeling a little self-conscious? Worried that your itty-bitty polka-dot bikini is too revealing? Why not try a coverup? It’s the perfect way to hide problem areas and add a little gusto to your swimsuit.
Coverups are offered in a variety of styles, fabrics and colors, and can be incredibly versatile. A terry cloth sundress, for example, will do double duty as a towel, while keeping you looking lovely. A silky sarong will skim over your trouble spots and give you a curvaceous silhouette!
When choosing a coverup, consider your destination and body type. If you’re headed to a family friendly location, such as a community pool or water park, you may want to choose a tunic or sundress. These coverup styles are great for covering the midriff and hips, as well as disguising lesser-toned arms.
At the beach or onboard a yacht, you may opt for a sarong. This undeniably sexy wrap is perfect for covering the hips and thighs, areas that many women are concerned about. With a well-chosen coverup, those concerns will simply melt away. After all, the summer is a time for relaxation – not a time to obsess about your body. Enjoy it!
