In the Swim: Summer Styles for Every Body
Summer officially rolled in this past weekend... and -- love it or hate it -- with it came swimsuit season.
The summer's retro/vintage trend has certainly inspired swimwear... with mod one-pieces and hippie-styles everywhere you look. Below is our guide to the must-have looks plus styles that give you some extra help where you might need it.
Retro-chic
Hot mama!
We love this halter-style one piece from Anne Cole. The vintage-inspired, paisley print top and full, chocolate-colored bottom features sexy ties at the neck and back.
$122 at Nordstrom.com
Slimming and stylish, this multi-striped brown halter pairs nicely with low-rise or full-coverage bottoms.
Robin Piccone Halter Tankini - $82 at Nordstrom.com
Figure Flatterers
Full bust: Support is essential for fuller breasts as well as ample underarm/sidearm coverage. This tankini from Miraclesuit
provides coverage up top while controling tummy and hips too.
$128 at Nordstrom.com
All-over control: Panache's Illusion underwire suit provides total body control with stylish, ruched side panels and buckled straps.
$104 at FigLeaves.com
Trendy two-pieces: From lime to olive, green is the hottest color of the season. This scallop-trimmed top from Juicy Couture is the perfect combination of demure and sexy.
$87 at Nordstrom.com

Nice-looking suits; I also like pairing halters with swim shorts for a sporty-yet-totally-camouflaged-look ;o)

Thanks for the tips. Shopping for swimwear is even worse than shopping for jeans, and that makes it a real chore. I do love the tankinis, both for the more flattering fit and the ease in the bathroom department!
