Summer is Coming

It’s springtime in the northern hemisphere and people nearest the equator are starting to feel the warmth of ‘Mister Sun’ as summer approaches.  This is the perfect time to look at current fashion trends on swim wears so you would know what to wear when you hit the beach or spring resort.  Know what monokini and bikini styles are in as well as the cool cover ups for the season.

Swimwear Color and Print

According to top designers, swim wear colors for 2010 are bright and eclectic. Fluorescent colors will be mixed with black and white. This year is a chance to break away from dark neutrals in exchange for color splash. However, if you are trying to create that slimmer look, choose plain dark colors like black.

In terms of design, graphic prints on swim wears will come alive this year. You will see geometric shapes, stripes, animal prints in addition to feminine floral prints. Be sure to match the graphic print design to your body stature.

For a plus size swimwear to be flattering, opt for a medium-size overlapping print. When choosing stripes, remember that horizontal stripes has a widening effect on body shape while vertical and diagonal stripes make you look slimmer.

Swimwear Style

Hottest swimwear styles for 2010 are: Cut-away, Cutouts, Deep V Plunge Neckline, One-shoulder Monokini and Bandeau Bikini tops. Sheer and maxi cover ups are still cool this year and Bohemian look will make a shrill fashion statement. Strapless romper cover up is also hot this year.

Monokini cut-away and cut-outs are swimwear styles for the more daring types with toned bodies and not for the faint of heart. Though they offer more coverage than a bikini, they are more revealing than a one-piece. Be ready for the funny tanning marks that these swim wears leave your skin. Year 2010 swimwear trends feature asymmetry in cutouts such that holes can be on one side only or there are more holes on the other side. Swimsuit with cutouts can make you feel young and hip but make sure to choose swimsuits with strategically placed cutouts to show off your body to its best advantage.

Deep V plunge neckline flatters petite, is bust-enhancing and elongates the neck. A one-piece V neck still looks daring and sexy if it plunges below the bust line or the waistline. If you have long torso, well defined waist and bust (not DD cup), this style is suitable for you.

One-shoulder is a must-have for 2010. Asymmetry doesn’t make you look shorter so this style would be suitable for petites. The exposed one shoulder provides the high fashion look. This style has made splashes on one-piece swimsuits, bikinis and cover-ups. Some designers made stand out pieces by combining the single shoulder style with cut-out.

Bandeau bikini top would also be a hit this year but this is not for busts larger than cup C. Totally bare your shoulders and emphasize your figure as your bandeau top pull everything up.
