Get Updated On Swimwear Trends
Swimwear has gone a long way since its invention. Of course, many people are happy about it as they now have the opportunity to show their great bodies by donning trendy and uniquely designed swimwear when going to the beach and engage in their favorite summer activities.
Fashion is ever evolving and each year, new swimwear styles come out on the market with great prints and colors. Although, it actually depends on the wearer, a man or woman may opt for the standard styles they have been used to. But then again, it's always fun and exciting to try to go with the trend once in a while. After all, summer comes only once a year and it's worth investing in one good swimwear that will make you look fabulous.
Popular materials
Obviously, apart from the styles, there have been new trends as well in the materials used for swimwear. The materials have become more advanced as well to help women show off a more contoured body while wearing their swimming costume. And so, we have materials that not only help tuck in your tummy and show your curves but help hide cellulites, too.
There are various ways to look in style in your swimwear. It all depends on your preference. For instance, if you're a retro fan, the halter tops, those with belts and sweetheart necklines are great for you. If you want to go vintage, opt for the polka dots, floral and Hawaii prints. Mixed prints such as floral with stripes, big and small stripes or polka dots are also great.
2008 trends
For 2008, swimwear gurus foresee a comeback of the new version of monokinis, the hipster bikinis, skirtinis and the boy short one-piece suit. Nautical hues, classic checkered, hearts and stripe prints are also in.
The boy short one-piece became famous in the 1950s and is now back in style. A new type of monokini, meanwhile, combines a bikini and one-piece swimsuit with cut-outs notably on the sides to create a sexier look. As for the skirtini and the hipster bikini, they have become more daring.
Hot tips
Remember that bulging tummies are a no-no during summer so women with this problem should go for a one-piece swimsuit with body control. This type will make your waist appear smaller and your torso appear longer.
Women with small busts should choose a halter tankini or bandini top or one with a triangle shape. You can always add pads if you wish.
Halters are also best for those with wide shoulders or to take away the focus from your shoulders, you can get a swimwear bottom in bold shades and prints.
For those with flat bodies, the two-piece suit with patterned prints is ideal. In this way, the attention will be focused on the bust and hip areas.
Full breasted women should get a swimwear that supports their busts well such as those with underwire or pads. A bikini top in a darker shade than the bottom could also make your busts appear smaller. Halters are also great as well as one-piece suits that have a V neckline to show off your cleavage.
