Now that it is officially Summer everyone is breaking out their swimsuits and hitting the pool or the beach.
Here are some top trends you will see this Summer and some ideas to snag them for yourself on the cheap. :)
1. TRIBAL
Tribal has been hot in Spring/Summer clothes so of course we expect it to be hot in swimwear as well. Take a look at this 1 piece from Target. It has fun tribal esque prints and a cute one shoulder action as well. It will run you $40.
2. RETRO
Retro clothes or styles are always fun and the same goes for this cute solid one piece. These sale at Wal-Mart (yes WM) for $33. Modcloth has great retro swimwear too, though the prices will run you a little higher.
3. TROPICAL
I feel like a tropical bikini or swimwear is always popular year after year. Beautiful tropical flowers just screams sun and sand and reminds me of Summer. This tropical bikini set runs $15 per piece (on sale currently) so a great steal for $30 total at Old Navy.
4. SPORTY
If you aren't much into girlie girl looks like retro styles and flowers in tropical prints then maybe you might like something a little more sporty. This halter and boyshort combo will run you $25 a piece at JCPenney. It's a little pricier than some of the other options listed but the cool thing about this one is that it is reversible which means you pretty much have 2 suits in one. ;)
5. COLORBLOCK
Colorblocking has been popular in clothing trends for a few seasons now so of course it's back again in swimwear this Summer too. Target has some fun color block one pieces with side cutouts for $25. These even fall into the sporty trend I feel like as well.

Have you bought a new swimsuit for this Summer? Did it fall under one of the top 5 trends for 2012?
I love the retro style swinmsuits, I think they'd be the only type I'd feel comfortable in.
ReplyDeleteI think the retro styles are super cute too. I don't normally wear solid one pieces though, usually tankini's. I just think they are more comfortable but still cover everything I want covered.

I love the 3rd one, and I've only been looking at those kinds of suit when I go to the bikini section. I'm looking into buying retro ones though :) I kind of want a one piece swimsuit :)

I really like the retro trend! It just seems so fun and girly!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it? Did you look at the ones on ModCloth? They are a little pricy but they have some super cute ones.

I haven't bought any new swimsuits for the summer. I do like the tribal but I don't think I'd trust a 1 shoulder suit..lol!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I know right... It's cute but with my jugglies I'm not sure it would work out that great. ;)
DeleteI haven't bought a new one yet either. I usually wait till they go on sale and get a new one for next season. haha

I love how the retro styles are coming back! They are just so feminine and fun!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely very feminine, the perfect thing for someone who really loves the girlie look.

I live the retro one, I think it would look quite flattering on a bigger lady like me x :-)
ReplyDeletegood to know what the styles are - I like the colour-blocked trend best I think.
