The bright splashes of color combined with original prints make these standout pieces definite eye catchers. This years swimwear collection has and abundance of original black and white prints, many of which are overlaid with adorable color accents. Think turquoise or hot pink. While basic black is common among the selection, swimwear shoppers will find this black to be anything but basic.

There’s black and white gingham prints and adorable, colorful cover-up dresses among the multitude of swimwear options, lending the collection a broad appeal. If the collection were to be summed up in a word, that word would toggle between both naughty and nice.

Swimwear shoppers are often plagued with disappointing racks of matronly suits filled with drab color. Many of these collections are padded with extra material which can produce unseemly bulges where none existed before. The Betsey Johnson line is short cut, and quite revealing, and won’t contribute to the illusion of extra pounds..

The daring lines and bold prints of the collection can be confidence inspiring. Fashionistas daring to rock this swimwear can find confidence in attire that commands appreciation. It is hard to lack confidence wearing a spectacular line that has been spectacularly reviewed.

Swimwear seekers can make selections from such choices as the “Reform School Bikini“, “The Patty Cakes Bandeau bikini“, the “Cheeky Peeky”. There is even a bikini simply titled “Wild Wild West”.

Selections such as the “Earth Love String bikini” and the Trippin One Piece” offer the vibrance and flair that appeal to the younger generation, while still maintaining a classic and conservative feel. With these, a wait variety of tastes can be appeased.

For shoppers that are put off by the ultra revealing bikinis that dominate most swimwear lines, these selections a perfect medium between baring skin and baring it all. Managing to be flirty and revealing without stooping to the level of raunchiness that flashier swimwear strikes, this line maintains a fresh, youthful feel without sacrificing tact.

The tankinis in this swimwear line are ideal for the skin shy shopper. Rather than simply stopping at the navel like most takinis, these reach as low as the hip-bone. This length is the ideal length for optimal mid-length coverage, and is a great relief for those of us who like two-piece options, but prefer more conservative fare.

The one-piece options of Lucky Brand stray from the matronly track that most other designers adhere to. With high cut hips the one piece suits accomplish both femininity and flair. This makes it possible for suit wearers to stride the along the shore without looking years older than they are.

What this company has done is offer a line that will appeal to teens while still being approval worthy for adults. Parents can set their teens loose during the summer months in fashionable attire that maintains consistent with their own ideals. Lucky Brand offers tasteful alternative to the barely there bikini.

Also available in this collection are lightweight cover-ups that can be perfect for throwing on for short strolls along the beach, or sporting in-between trips into the water. The “Cruisin White Jumper” is replete with spaghetti straps and an adorable cinching waist. A more casual option, the “Love Fest Dress” is a t-shirt like over-shirt that comes decorated with a spray of color.

Your swimwear shopping this season doesn’t have to be painfully complex. You should feel confidence when making your purchase that your choices will compliment you best. Swimwear that accomplishes that without being too risky is the best way to satisfy this goal. Finding a designer that appeals to your tastes and whose line provides adequate selections for your swimwear needs is a key aspect of your search. Often it is not the suit that you are seeking, but designer that is aware of your specific swimwear needs. Lucky Brand swimwear offers many choices that appeal to all ages, as well as all body shapes and types.

Born in Cuba and raised in Miami, Lourdes ‘Luli’ had always wanted to work in the world of fashion.

One of this season’s current, hottest swimsuits trends is Bandeau swimwear. This easy-to-wear women’s swimwear style is flattering to any body shape, and offers a sleek, sporty swimwear silhouette while still managing to be both feminine and super sexy.

The bandeau’s barely-there design is made up of a single band across the bust instead of the typical triangle bra top, with a bikini style bottom.

Modified bandeau swimwear may be cinched in the middle for that added touch of cleavage, or may come with thin removable straps for an entirely new look, like the one by Salinas swimwear pictured below.

The bandeau has been seen recently on stars and celebrity trend-setters like Ashley Olsen, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth, and Nicole Ritchie. This swimsuit promises staying power, and is not just a trendy look that’ll be long gone by next summer.

We were on hand when the Czechoslovakian-born, Vancouver resident debuted her 2009 swimwear collection in July at the Swimwear Tradeshow inside the Miami Convention Center. Her designs were vibrant and alive, capturing the raw essence of hippie-chic ecclecticity in a way that only she can.

Rebecca Gayheart

Actress Rebecca Gayheart was probably trying to channel her inner flowerchild when she donned what we’re pretty sure is Anna Kosturova’s “Rainbow Bikini” this summer during a getaway in St. Barts. Remeber her? She played Luke Perry’s mob-princess girlfriend on 90210.

These days she’s better known as Mrs. McSteamy – the real-life wife of “his royal hottness” (a.k.a Eric Dane), who stars as Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloane on Grey’s Anatomy.

By the way, Anna Kosturova’s “Rainbow Bikini” is featured as a People.com editor’s pick for “must-have” swimuits. Gotta have one too? Click here and get one in rainbow or turquoise sequine stripes.

They both live in the fashionable “South of 5th area” in Miami, home to the rich and famous, and we are sure Anna looks great in Red’s suits. Besides that, we are not sure if there is any other connection. Anna may be the most ubiqutous celebrity in Miami. We have seen her a number of times bopping around South Beach and Anna sightings are often. The much covered Anna is in yet another spread, this time modeling sexy swimsuits in Maxim.
She has been known to frequent the Taste bakery on Alton Road in her sweats, where her picture is posted on their bulletin board. Compared to tennis supertstar and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Maria Sharapova, Anna is quite small but has a fit body and great legs. Anna has also graced the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimwear issue. We could also picture her in this sexy Anna Kosturova cut-out monokini.

Pictured next to Anna is famed model diva Irene Marie of the eponomously named modeling agency. The Irene Marie agency was spotlighted on the very short running MTV show “8th and Ocean.”

How can you not love this drop-dead gorgeous two piece Designed by Despina Filios who makes her swimwear inRio de JaneiroDespi was recently named “the new face of beach fashion” by the Brazilian Press. And with stand-out swimsuits like this one, it’s hardly any wonder.

We were excited by what we saw. The Despi 2009 collection captures the spirit and soul of Brazil in its many pieces. We saw bold hues with playful polka dots, strong solids mixed with retro stripes and mod prints, carnival-themed colors with just enough glitter to glam it up, frilly tops and skirtinis and rectangular-shaped and oval hardware detail adorning bikini bottoms and tops.

We thought this fabulous, bold-colored mod print bikini stole the show, hands down. Who can look away from this sexy, peek-a-boo Triangle top with exquisite oval-shaped hardware? And then there’s the bikini bottom — it’s all glam with rectangular side bling to boot. Oh, this is so South Beach and we’re loving it!

If you’ve got a little bounce to go with your bust, then you’ll get some serious mileage out this daring two piece. Fleming’s 2009 swimwear collection, called “Nights in Deauville,” is inspired by Ancient Egyptian silhouettes and the Art Deco Era in Deauville, France. We’re thinking it’ll inspire lots of Pistol Panties sales.

Gone are the days when Solid bikini tops could only go with solid bottoms. Striped tops went with striped bottoms… and solids with solids, prints with prints. No more! For that matter, say goodbye to buying bikini “sets” and welcome a whole new world of bikini freedom where it’s tres chic to pair unconventional and unlikely separates together.

We loved the look of this Lisa Lozano two piece that we saw at the 2009 Miami Swim Show at the Miami Convention Center. The model is wearing a soft pink striped crochet halter with a solid chocolate bottom. And check out singer Rihanna on the beach in this uber-mod, contrasting two piece. She’s striking in a safari-print Bandeau top and a gold-printed hipster bottom.

So what’s the rule on matching seemingly mismatched swimwear separates? We say, if it feels good, wear it. Pair floral print bikini tops with zig-zag bottoms, or pair checkered bottoms with wild stripes. The greater the contrast, the hotter the look!
