It seems lately that the swimsuit has evolved into a very fashionable piece of a woman's wardrobe. Gone are the days of the simple one piece primarily used to get wet. The latest swimsuit fashions are skimpy bikinis from Brazil, one piece suits with cut outs, suits made of fabrics with bright fun prints, all combined with variety of embellishments. Cover ups compliment the ensemble and are must when sitting poolside or at the beach.
Brazilian swimsuits are not for everyone. In most cases, the Brazilian fit covers less and shows more. Typically a Brazilian cut curves in more on the backside revealing more of the behind. The 2009 Brazilian suits will have special details like cross hatch, pattern mixing, and large bright florals. A great reference for the Brazilian look is Dineila Brazil.
The one piece suit has evolved into a stylish silhouette. You will often see the sides of a one piece "cut out" to show more of the stomach and back. The one piece suit can be a halter without any ties around the neck. One pieces are often shown with fun ties at the hip, or embellishments for a very glamorous look. A great example of the updated one piece can be found by Bikini Flavors.
Prints can be found everywhere in the swim 2009 collections. Paisley, tattoo, fruits, florals, checks....prints are in. It will sure make for fun at the pool or beach.
A cover up can be almost anything these days. A large white shirt can be tied or belted over your suit and you'll look great. True Religion Swimwear and Jessica Simpson Swimwear both showed this sassy look at a recent trade show event. For the bottom, a skirt or sarong still seems to be the most popular option. Sarongs can come in a variety of fabrications such as cotton, georgette, or polyester and offer coverage without being too revealing.
