 -Prints
- Geometrics and camouflage are hot. Florals look fresh.
-Glitz and glamour. Gold metallic, fancy trims like rhinestone.
-Colors - Basic black will never go away, but it is being
replaced by hot hues like red, yellow and sea blues.
Styles
Bikini - Super-skimpy triangle and side-tie bottoms are
now in fashion. Look for built-in push-up bras, underwire
and sculpted cups for extra curves.
Tankini - A variation of the bikini. This is a sporty style
that has a longer top that leaves only a small portion of
the tummy exposed.
Bandini - A bikini with a bandeau (straight, striplike piece
of fabric) top.
Camikini - Same as the tankini except the top looks like a
camisole.
Maillot - One-piece suit. This year maillots are cut out,
one-shouldered and halternecked.
Boy legs - A longer leg resembling really short shorts. |
Accessories
Sarongs, in sheer fabrics and pretty prints, continue to
be the most flattering and chicest way to cover up. Tie on the
side, in front or around your chest for full coverage.
Board shorts are a nice and sporty way to pull on extra bottom
coverage.
Flip flops have moved from just-beachwear to everyday fare over
the past few seasons. New prints, like camoflauge, hint at runway
trends. |
