Top Swimwear Trends for Summer 2009
The new fashion for beach and pool is more flattering than ever. This season we will see many one piece suits, most of them designed in a delightful retro style. The summer’s big topic is glamour galore and old Hollywood style. Sweetheart necklines, light ruffling in front and skirting are the key elements. Not only is the new swimwear very figure flattering but also luxurious and fun to wear. The looks appeal to our inner divas and challenge to let out the vamp in the mermaid.
The new swimwear is more generous and covers more skin than in previous years, but also brings more style and elegance back into the sunlight with its one piece suits, bikinis and tankinis.
Together with the retro styles we will, for a healthy balance, see very avantgarde looks. These are cut-out suits with a variety of unusual and interesting shapes and openings around the waist or in the back. Catwalks were also dominated by wrapped suits that look as if a wide ribbon was slung around the body, covering what really needs to be covered in an artistic pattern. They might be challenging to wear in the water, but who wants to get wet with designer suits like this anyway?
A third trend is the sophisticated yacht club look with one or two piece suits in a mix of solid colors and metallic accents. The colors are basic – black, white, brown tones together with gold or bronze. This style incorporates chic nautical elements like cords and rivets.
We can look forward to a feast of colors that come in exquisite jewel tones. Emerald, sapphire and amethyst brighten up any day and exude the feeling of a luxury resort. Fuchsia is on top of all of the designers’ lists and celebrates a grand comeback this year. Make sure to have the matching lipstick and nail polish for a look of lavish perfection.
The majority of the new looks are designed in these strong solid colors, but the patterns are not to be overlooked. They are just as bold and sophisticated. Bright large florals, nautical stripes or large polka dots compete with safari patterns. Freshly risen from hibernation are the beloved and timeless animal prints!
The summer 2009 swimwear takes a step up on the fashion ladder and offers great looks for everyone and every budget with an emphasis on feminine and luxurious shapes, materials and colors all infused with much style, comfort and a lot of fun.
