Summer 2010 Beachwear Trends

We can’t guarantee you’ll be bikini ready this summer, but when it comes to the season’s hottest beachwear, we’ve got you covered.

Beachwear trend: Cut-out suits

Take a classic one piece and a pair of scissors: what are you left with? Summer’s hottest beachwear. The runways showed stunning suits with cut-out sides, midriffs and backs “ but you won’t need to sport all three to get the effect. This trend is a great way to add a hint of sexiness without sporting a barely-there bikini set.

Victoria Secret Very Sexy – Wireless push-up monokini 

Beachwear trend: Bold colour and strong print

Sunny days mean leaving all things black in your winter wardrobe. Opt for a deep, turquoise suit (a colour that’s flattering on everyone) or a bold zebra print for the ultimate beach babe look. Steer clear of looking overdone by pairing your bold suit with understated accessories, like a sheer, black sarong tied around your waist.

Victoria Secret Beach Sexy – Tribal push-up halter top 

Beachwear trend: The one-piece

The teeny tiny bikini can often make a one-piece look very vanilla (read: boring). But the newest one-piece styles have been updated with sultry, yet sophisticated elements that are sure to turn heads. Choose a one-shouldered piece in a solid colour or a suit with a key-hole detail “ both will show off your figure in an unconventionally sexy way.  

AE Bandeau Suit 

Beachwear trend: Vintage flair

Designers gave vintage-inspired beachwear a modern touch this season, making it a pretty option for almost everyone. Try a micro-floral printed halter top with a high-waisted bottom that rises above your belly button “ a great option for those who are tummy shy. Pair your ensemble with a bold red lip and you’ll take yourself to pin-up status!
