The color scheme above may be a little schizophrenic but I could not resist highlighting each of these swimsuits.
It is time to start really thinking about a serious workout routine because swimsuit season is just around the corner and will be here before you know it. And what better way to celebrate your bikini - or one piece - body than to show it off in something bright, patterned, neutral, or even something as retro as a bandeau top? This season, designers have finally seemed to dive in head first when it comes to the various styles of swimsuits and bikinis.
The list below outlines the Fashion, Friendly & Frugal prices of each swimsuit, starting at the far left and work clockwise around the top. I chose the pink, bandeau-top swimsuit because of its simplicity; it is a great, solid color with limited detailing (a few ties) and a fantastic spin on your typical one-piece.
The next one I found is the blue, ruffled, bandeau-top, two-piece with white polka dots. Talk about fun and flirty. The ruffles add shape and curve to your top and bottom, which is fabulous for ladies on the slender side of the spectrum.
On the other hand, the next bikini is perfect for anyone with a slightly more substantial chest (if you have to ask why I chose green, well then you must not be Irish). The straps give great support and also create a smooth, simple, and clean silhouette.
An updated black one-piece is a must-have for anyone looking to have fun with a classic, black, swimsuit. The chevron stripe design creates a thinning effect down the front of the suit along with the open v-neck, neckline. The best part, the back looks like a bikini!
Lastly, the white bandeau bikini, the geo print bandeau bikini, and the shimmer neutral bikini are all a hit. You cannot go wrong with white, especially if you are showing off your tan! The geo print is funky and bright and the shimmer neutral bikini is very sexy; my obsession with all things blush-toned lives on into swimsuit season.
If I could, I would purchase all of these suits, but I cannot and that is why they are simply in my shopping bag. Step out of your swimsuit comfort zone and if you are worried about odd tan lines, then invest in some inexpensive self-tanner or go to a tanning salon.
