The New Swimsuit Trends And Hottest Brands

By Marja Rönty

Ladies, it is now the height of the summer which means frequent trips to the beach, cooling off after work at the pool and of course this requires an update to your swimwear wardrobe.

Whether you obey minimalism, vintage, all-out sexiness, a bikini or good old athletic gear, Rescu. has lined up some of the best swimsuit brands and designs to bare your booty in. The curvaceous and figure conscious minimalists among us will love Miraclesuit‘s simple yet stylish body-shaping swimsuits to smooth and shape our womanliness.

Cup sizes run up to DD ensure no embarrassing quadriboob incidents will occur whilst sipping a martini on the beach. Go for a bold block colour statement and turn heads.

Fifties-inspired beach gear such as Seafolly‘s English Rose designs that come in a ladylike boyleg maillot or a halter bandeau bra and skirted pants, allow us to cherish the days gone by with ladylike allure.

Also, Jets by Jessika Allen’s red-and-white striped boyleg one-piece with a perky bow does fabulously well in the retro department. Add a pair of oversized vintage sunnies and wrap a scarf around your Marilyn curls for a super cute statement.

If you’re not afraid to flaunt a hot bod at the beach, you will love the cutout swimsuits.

Think Charlie’s Angels with a modern twist. With designers such as Melissa Obadash, Diane von Furstenberg, Matthew Williamson and Inca at the top of this now here to stay look, these naughty but nice styles with strategic omissions of fabric will have the boys playing peek-a-boo.

Those who want it all should invest in Finch’s ruffled one-piece polkadot swimpiece with side cutouts. This piece manages to combine the most important beach trends without looking one bit schizophrenic.

Every girl needs a bikini (or two, three . . .) in her wardrobe and 2011 beach season is no exception.

Zimmerman is the go-to bikini brand of choice and this year’sfloral triangle bikini speaks volumes, while Ripcurl’s Aussie designs are for those who wear their heart on their bottom.

Lastly, let’s not forget one of the most enjoyable beach activities is actually swimming!

Speedo, the king of sports swimwear has a wide range of serious high-tech suits that look oddly cool next to a whimsical pink string bikini.

Wear yours with those requisite hydrodynamic racing goggles and watch the competition sink at the starting blocks.
