A S spring break draws closer, the hunt
for the perfect bathing suit begins.
Figuring out what the hottest trends are for
suits is always tough. However, this year,
I’ve picked out a few of the best styles that
are sure to be seen on the beach.
For women, starts looking for high-waist
bottoms and ruffles because they are com
ing back full swing this spring. To compli
ment this look, wear oversized sunglasses to
add an extra touch of vintage. This is great
for women whose body shape is curvy; the
high-waisted bottoms will give your body
tightened curves and the ruffles will draw
attention up. The ruffles are also great for
small-chested women, as they create a fuller
effect on the bust area. Also, start your
swimsuit season off bright with color block
ing and neon hues similar to trends from the
80’s. This style is great for petite woman.
With color blocking, it creates an effect that
lengthens the body. Aquatic motifs and
ocean-inspired colors will also be a big I t
this season. Of course, any body type c^ n
pull off this trend! With any of these tren s a
great oversized tote, large brim hat, or c ite
piece of jewelry is always the perfect ad ied
touch to any beach look.
The Americana style will be a big hit or
men’s bathing suit fashion. So fire up th(
grill and bring out the hot dogs and you
American pride as you don your red, wh te
and blue-colored swimsuits this season.
Men will also be taking bold steps in a n ;w
direction with neon swim trunks. Howe\ or, if
vibrant colors and Americana aren’t exa( tly
the look you were going for, the go-to st ie
for men’s bathing suits are board shorts,
which are a reoccurring piece spotted or the
beach every year. With any of these lool s
flip flops, cool shades, and a light beach
tank are great additions.
