Summer Swimwear Trends 2011

Summer is here!! Hurrah! Not that it isn’t Summer all the time in Malaysia anyways. But we can always appreciate what 4 season countries offer us in terms of fashion and style during the seasons.

Here’s a quick look at one of my favourite things about Summer.
SWIMWEAR!

Styles to note.

Bandeau style bikinis! One of my favourite bikini styles! These are the perfect kind of cuts for those who are looking to have as little tan lines as possible!


One-Shoulders! For all you toga lovers out there, these bikinis are the ones for you! Not quite a bandeau and not quite a bikini, these babies are a great alternative to the basic boob tubes and halter necks! Get’em in sexy bikinis or flirty cut out monokinis!



Ruffles! Look for all things girly in Ruffles! Ruffles are the in thing this Summer! Whether it be tiny and with only a single layer or demure and multiple, this trend will look flattering on practically everyone! And for those who are not top endowed, always opt for a multi-tier ruffle top to enhance the area.


There’s something about Vintage that remains popular every season! This style is particularly perfect for women who are shy to show off their bodies, but still want to have a bit of skin peeking through. It totally exudes sexiness without revealing too much skin.

Choice Colours & Prints.


Soft, pastel hues. Think gorgeous shades of lilac, pale blue and rose pink! Soften up your entire look with any of these hues, whether they be printed or plain, these colours are prefect for everyone!


Minuscule baby prints! Goodbye big, bold prints. Hello, teeny tiny ones! There’s a whole world of tiny prints out there for you to pick from, be it geometric, florals or even elaborate prints! Or if you like, you can always opt to have one bold statement print and teeny tiny ones decorated around it. However, do note that the large print will draw the eye there, so here’s your chance to highlight your favourite body part.

If there’s one thing I LOVE about bikinis, it’s the fact that you can totally mix and match the top and bottom! Let’s say you’ve got small bust and wider hips, all you gotta do is pick a solid coloured bottom and a bright printed top to minimise the hips and emphasise the bust, and vice versa for those of you busty ones with itty bitty hips. :)

And that’s about it from us this time around. :) Right now, we are just dreaming of our next beach adventure! Ah, sun, sea, sand, cocktails & surfer boys. Bliss.

Till next time!
