Betsey Johnson's Retro Tankini

The swimsuit Tankini just got sexier with Betsey Johnson’s flirty new take on this piece — the Retro Tankini from her “Fever” collection.

We just can’t say how much we adore this festive Betsey Johnson tankini that blouses out into a semi-skirtini over a peek-a-boo, cheeky hipster bottom. It’s a mod beach look that incorporates a cosmopolitan mix of old Hollywood glamor and haute couture.

It also gives you the best of both worlds. It’s a swimsuit that looks like a One Piece but is really a two piece in disguise. And the high quality bra top construction on this suit is unmistakably Betsy.

Our hats off to Betsey Johnson for making the tankini functional and feminine!

This Leopard-Print Bikini is the Cat's Meow

We can’t even tame this fierce felion… a wild safari-print halter skirtini plucked straight from Betsey Johnson’s eclectic closet at the Miami Swimwear Show this summer.

The leopard-themed swimsuit features a well-constructed halter top accented with an attractive, gold-rimmed band. The bikini top ties in the neck and the back for maximum cleavage control.

And this sassy skirtini offers the best of both worlds — a bold bikini bottom with a flirtatious little skirt combo that offers some derriere coverage without giving up an ounce of sex appeal. Yes, this is perfect for girls with a little “junk in the trunk.”

Leave it to Betsey to come up with a stunner of a bikini that look’s like the cat’s meow. It’s from her “What’s New Pussycat” swimwear collection for 2009, and we can see it becoming a hit right here in sunny South Beach among the hit and uber-trendy crowd.

It’s loveboat season and that means its time to get your cruise swimwear in gear for your upcoming nautical getaway. But don’t panic, you don’t have to have a perfect body (like the model sporting this stunning L Space two piece!!@!) to look good in a swimsuit. You just need the perfect swimsuit that complements your body type.

Before you go swimsuit shopping, check out these helpful tips:

Shelf bra bikini tops will give light coverage and support and are great for A and B cups.
Bikini tops with soft cups give extra support for women with a C cup and large.
Underwire bras offer maximum support for C, D, and DD cups.
Halter bikini tops (that tie at the neck or offer front closure) tend to complement women with a little more cleavage.
One-piece swimsuits are not what they used to be — they’re hotter than ever now.
Ruffles and frills on bikini tops can help add volume to your bust.
Skirtini bottoms (Skirted bikini bottoms) can help camoflage problem areas around the hips.
Tankinis are a great option to get a bikini look while hiding the tummy area.

Swimwear Trend for 2009: Romantic Ruffles

Ruffles and frill-inspired bikinis are making big waves in swimwear for 2009. Our Swimwear Team saw models sporting everything ruffled from Triangle tops to bandeaus, and frilly skiritinis at the Miami Swim Show.

We saw lots of ruffles and frills peeking out whenever and wherever they could and we expect them to make headlines in next year’s swimwear. There were ruffled skirtinis from Betsey Johnson Swimwear, embellished frilly triangle tops by Pistol Panties, bandeaus, soft ruffle-edged bikini bottoms and flouncy cover-ups.

But we almost died and went to swimwear heaven when we stumbled across this unbelievably sexy, Ann Margaret-inspired bikini stunner from local Miami designer, Alexis Barbara.

Check out the wooden pull-thru hardware detail on the neck tie.

The ruffled Sliding Triangle to is elegant, sexy and oh-so-prissy! And if you’re a little light in the cleavage department, ruffles add layers that help to fill you out. The long, strappy tie sides help make this gorgeous two piece a winner in our book.

And it’s definitely a winner on sexy model/actress (bottom left) Michelle Hunziker. She was spotted on Formentera Island wearing a similar version of the Barbara bikini.

When it comes to Betsey Johnson Swimwear, you know you’ll find swimwear fashion that’s truly one-of-a-kind with a flattering fit that accentuates your curves. This year, our favorite whimsical designer has found a way to inject even more girly-girl, flirty sex appeal into her novel swimsuits.

Our Swimwear Team was at the Betsey Johnson booth at the Miami Swim Show to see the unveiling of the designer’s colorful swimwear collections for 2009. And she didn’t disappoint, infusing more feminine sex appeal in herswimwear designs. Betsey’s back with hippie-chic themes, plenty of neckline ruffles and flirty frills, retro prints, wavy tops and bottoms and overall well-constructed, ultra feminine suits.

Our favorite is this one from her “At the Hop” collection – a retro-inspired medley of playful dots accented with hot pink bows and ties against lovely ruffles, frills and pleats. She’s got belted hipsters, flirty skirtinis that adjust for more or less derriere coverage, saloon-style halter push up tops, peak-a-bow bra tops and well-constructed tankinis. And if you like Betsey’s ruffled necklines, you’ll love Pistol Pantie’s frilly-edged swimsuits.

Stay tuned for future posts to find out more about her collection.
