Sneak Peak at Guess Bikinis and Cover-ups for 2009

We’ve taken all the guesswork out of finding your hottest swimwear for 2009!

From sexy metallic-striped bandeaus to oh-so-cute cover-up jumpers, Guess swimwear’s got a little bit of everything to suit all your bikini moods next summer.

The hot pink and metallic gold Bandeau bikini has a bond-girl star-quality appeal to it that’s undeniable.

We also like the hot black and Beige String bikini with the tunnel side bottom with the retro printed mesh fabric.

But the mod Guess cover-ups are sheer perfection. The delicious lemon cover-up jumper accented with comfy pockets and a drawstring is ideal for poolside lounging, and the lovable cover-up bandeau dress can easily be worn with a pair of cute Espadrilles for a day of South Beach shopping.

Guess who has great 2009 swimwear?

If you haven’t a guess, we will give you a hint. This denim company is famous for its sexy black and white photography that has become the iconic look of the jeans world.

OK, you’ve guessed it! We are talking about the 2009 Guess Swimwear Collection. It is easy to say that the 2009 Guess swimwear collection has a bright future going into 2009. With lots of bling, Guess roars into the years featuring metallic stripes and lots of shinny dots to get you noticed.

Since creating its swimwear line Guess has always incorporated its signature suits with style that is easy to wear, yet striking. This lemon-hued halter bra with metallic retro dots is perfect for the girl who likes a little extra edge. It also comes in navy blue for when you need that perfect bikini for your next yachting expedition.

Vix's "Gold" Rush

Drawing inspiration from the sun-kissed beaches of Brazil, Vix swimwear designer, Paula Hermanny infuses bold colors and
contrasting prints in the Vix Spring/Summer 2009 swimwear collection.

The new swimwear line debuted at Miami’s Fashion Week and featured elements including beautiful bronze metallics, colorful retro prints contrasted with solids and stripes, unforgettable cut-out monokinis and lots of mod bikinis with exquisite buckle and ring hardware detail.

We think this lavish, gold-like grommet embellished String bikini has major star potential, especially right here in South Beach. What’s not to love about all that bling glittering in the sun?
Vix isn’t the only designer taking note of the “gold rush” swimsuit trend. Guess also has a sizzling gold bikini that’s turning heads.

And Hollywood’s getting gold fever too. The Hills star, Audrina Patridge was recently spotted sporting a hippie-chic, front tie, summer-gold Halter bikini.

Bikini Hot Pants are Hip

Would you believe that this retro-inspired, well-constructed and ultra-taylored outfit is actually a two-piece swimsuit designed for the beach?

We didn’t believe it either until we saw it debut at the Miami Swim Show in July. This stylish two piece in deep plum is from the Alexis Barbara “Gabriella” swimwear collection. It’s a chic triangle top that connects in the center, ties in the back and features attractive breast pockets and ruched, broad shoulder straps.

It’s paired with a sexy hipster boy short accented with front pockets and belt loops. You can swim in it or just enjoy looking good in it without ever going anywhere near the beach.

In fact, we think you could easily get away with wearing this sexy bikini with some vintage go-go boots, arm and neck accessories — a long necklace or a trendy scarf to set off that plunging v-neck would be perfect — and a belt to accent the hips.

You could transform from bohemian beach chic by day to mod party girl at night and then head to your favorite club in South Beach!
