Bathing suit bible

Designers always show us new and innovative ways to construct a bathing suit. We saw Cut-outs, one shoulder, and strappy detail. The strappy/bondage bikini is reserved for the hard body. It will draw attention to your body at all angles. The ‘cut-out’ works well for women who want to look modern, but have more coverage than a bikini.

Brights

Let the sun shine in. We also saw bright sunny colors, and beautiful detail in the fabric construction.

one shoulder



One shoulder has been a huge trend the past couple of seasons, and we will continue to see it into the summer. A one-shoulder one piece is pure elegance and sophistication. It’s a fresh take on the one – piece. It’s updated, modern, and current.

  • camouflage bottom half

    Suits that minimize butt & thighs. Some women are self-conscious about their bottom half when wearing a bathing-suit (we’re all self-conscious about some part of our body). The three suits we’ve selected will minimize your butt and thighs, giving you the coverage you want.

  • bikinis and cut-outs

    Bikins & Cut-Outs. The trend in bikinis this year is mixing patterns and colors. You can even do this with suits you have in your wardrobe. Cut-outs are as sexy as a bikini. Keep it sleek though. You don’t want to look like a playmate… in public anyway :)

    • I love Miraclesuit swimwear. I'm a fan for life.
    • I like how there are different suits for different body types. Each is flattering to the figure.
