La Blanca Ruff Stuff Bandeau | Classic Striped One-Piece Swimsuit

LaurenK — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:11:22 +0000

Don't let the vertical stripes scare you; this Ruff Stuff swimsuit from La Blanca is remarkably slimming.

We've all been told to steer clear of outfits decorated with such stripes, but you needn't have the model's figure to look good wearing them. The Ruff Stuff's stripes are relatively narrow, so they don't tend to add extra pounds. La Blanca knows this so it generously offers the Ruff Stuff in sizes 4 to 16.

But the stripes don't just add interest to the simple bandeau-style design. The curved stripes around the bust enhance your shape, which is a real blessing for anyone on the petite side. The modern enamel buckle at the bust caps off the timeless nautical design.

The shoestring halter-neck strap offers the security we need in the surf, but the Ruff Stuff looks its sexiest without it. Just unclip it once you hit the sand and enjoy line-free tanning, and the admiring glances that will come your way.

That buckle and the blend of polyester and spandex have their limitations though. Both are a bit fragile so you'll need to wash the Ruff Stuff by hand to keep it looking its best. However if you do make the effort your $109 will pay for several summers of fun.

Trina Turks’ and Caicos Swim Collection | Capsule Line for Grace Bay Club Resort

LaurenK — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:55:59 +0000

Trina Turk has created a summery new capsule collection exclusively for the Turks and Caicos resort, the Grace Bay Club.

The new line, cleverly dubbed the Trina Turks' and Caicos Collection, features mix-and-match bikini separates, a plunging one-piece swimsuit, an ankle-length maxi dress, and a kimono-sleeved tunic cover-up. There are nine items in all, including halter-neck and bandeau cut bikini pieces.

Each item in the limited edition collection is patterned with a distinctive print inspired by the Caribbean island's penchant for fun in the sun and the Grace Bay Club's sophistication.

The pattern didn't take Trina Turk too far out of her comfort zone. As a Californian, she told The Jet Set Girls blog that she's always been inspired by the coastline and its ocean.

"For the Grace Bay Club swimwear print, we combined the movement of the turquoise water with an accent of bright coral from the resort's Mediterranean architecture," she explained. "Our signature hardware in gold with white enamel captures the sparkle of the white sand beaches found throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands."

The new Trina Turks' and Caicos Collection is available at a range of prices, from $76 for a pair of bikini briefs to $204 for the maxi-dress. The capsule collection is available for a limited time from Trina Turk boutiques, including its online store, and The Grace Bay Club.

Becca Get Together Swimsuit | Sexy Black & White Cut Out One-Piece

LaurenK — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:35:05 +0000

Becca's created one of the sexiest one-piece swimsuits I've ever seen with the Get Together.

This modern swimsuit obviously takes its cues from the monokini, but its asymmetrical style makes it much more eye-catching. The white stripes draw the eye, encouraging onlookers to admire this swimsuit, and the body in it, from top to toe. It's also just as eye-catching from behind, where the braided strap unravels to create one of the most striking swimsuit backs I've ever seen.

It goes without saying that this isn't a swimsuit to wear if you're self conscious about your figure. The large cut-out area around the tummy leaves nothing to the imagination. If you don't have the model's rock hard abs, it's just not going to look the same.

I admire that the Get Together is sizzling, yet it still retains its class. While it shows plenty of skin, what's revealed isn’t too scandalous. It covers the cleavage and much of the buttocks, which is really unusual for such a skimpy swimsuit.

The Get Together is really a marvel of modern swimsuit design, so I think it's quite reasonably priced at $128. That’s no small change but it's still affordable for such a distinctive swimsuit.

Jantzen Pretty Pin Dot Tank Swimsuit | Retro Red Spotted One-Piece

LaurenK — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:39:14 +0000

Jantzen helps us be pretty in pin dots with this sexy retro-inspired swimsuit.

I can imagine Mad Men's Joan Holloway wearing this one-piece on a Californian getaway. The swirling bandeau style bust, spotted finish, and cute ruffled hemline give it a real pin-up girl vibe. I love the eye-catching appeal of this red suit, but traditionalists may prefer it in black.

It looks like you need the perfect hourglass figure to pull it off, but this swimsuit is more forgiving than you might expect. The soft shirring in the front and back helps to disguise any extra lumps and bumps. The molded cups help your curves look your best, and when you wear the removable neck strap they'll also enjoy a bit of a lift. That strap works double duty to provide extra security in the water, although I'd remove if you're sunbathing to avoid unsightly tan lines.

At $112 this tank swimsuit is no impulse buy, but it's also not unreasonable for such a well made pair of bathers. And unlike so many bikini tops, there's no more to spend to complete your beachside ensemble. If you hand wash it as Jantzen suggests you should enjoy several summers of compliments from this classic spotted swimsuit.

Freya Supernova Bandeau Swimsuit | Sexy Belted Black One Piece

LaurenK — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:03:16 +0000

Freya looks to make the dreams of comic books nerds everywhere come true with this Supernova Bandeau Swimsuit.

I can't help thinking of the costume of a kick ass female superhero, or perhaps even a super villain, when I look at this bold swimsuit. We've got the clean lines, the obligatory belted accent, and the flashes of gleaming gold. All we're missing is some thigh high boots and perhaps a cape!

The Supernova's looks are very distinctive but I don't think you need to be a geek to appreciate them. Its sleek styling is perfect for Freya's curviest fans. It offers fantastic support in the bust and it's sexy without being too provocative. The cups are lined but not padded, so girls don't feel they're serving their curves on a platter! The keyhole detail in the back ensures you'll make as much of an impression leaving as you do when you arrive!

The price made me double take. Surely it couldn't cost just $32, could it? Most times we can barely buy a bikini top for that, let alone an entire swimsuit. But there it is in black and white. I'd snap it up quickly before Freya realizes it's not charging enough!

Miraclesuit Isabella Swimsuit | Figure Flattering Ruffled Navy Blue One-Piece

LaurenK — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:51:38 +0000

Turning water into wine, feeding a crowd of people with only a few fishes and loaves of bread, and reviving people declared clinically dead are all miracles. Creating a slimming swimsuit doesn't quite seem to be in the same league, but the folks from Miraclesuit are just as proud of their Isabella swimsuit.

I'm not sure whether this swimsuit will really make anyone look ten pounds lighter as its creators claim, but the woman in the photo does look pretty amazing wearing it. I wish we had some before and after shots for comparison, but I can't fault her hourglass silhouette. I also appreciate the Isabella's styling, which is feminine but classic enough to suit women of any age. The soft ruffles cascading down the plunging neckline are complemented beautifully by the elegant pleats. The hidden Miratex control panel helps to smooth lumps and bumps while the soft cups in the bust enhance curves.

The colors leave a bit to be desired though. Black, navy blue, and brown are classic choices, but they're also a bit dark for summer. Some more playful hues would help this swimsuit appeal to younger girls.

At $146 this Isabella swimsuit is no bargain, but it's also not exorbitant either, especially if it lives up to its promise of a super slim figure!

Miraclesuit Utopia Swimsuit | Figure-Flattering Pin-Dot One-Piece Black Bathers

LaurenK — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 00:43:54 +0000

This Miraclesuit Utopia one-piece has a name that's tough to live up to, but the figure-flattering label does its best to deliver.

I rarely believe in miracles, especially in the consumer world, but this swimsuit is very flattering. I'm not sure whether it really gives the illusion of dropping ten pounds, as Miraclesuit claims, but its Miratex fabric does a great job of smoothing your silhouette and minimizing trouble spots. And happily it does it without the stiff, uncomfortable panels we find in so many shaping swimsuits. Its secret is the material's unique blend, which has three times the spandex of other comparable one-pieces.

As for the Utopia tag, I'm not sure that's warranted either. It's not perfect, but its pin-head dots make the black material a lot more fun. They're youthful but not trend-conscious, so this swimsuit should look just as fresh after a couple of summers.

At $59 this one-piece is a real bargain. It's hard to find even a bikini top for that money, let alone a complete swimsuit that does so much for our bodies. Miraclesuit's swimsuits do run a little small though, so you may like to order one size larger than your usual for the most comfortable fit.

Tommy Bahama Pearl Swimsuit | V-Neck Halter Style Black One-Piece

LaurenK — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 06:17:31 +0000

Just like the gemstone that inspired its name, this Pearl swimsuit has the kind of classic styling that promises to endure season after season.

Tommy Bahama's taken a traditional black one-piece and given it a few fashionable and functional tweaks. A rhinestone studded metal O-ring near the bust adds just the right amount of sparkle.

That black fabric isn't as basic as it seems at first glance. Tommy Bahama has used premium Italian microfiber, a material known for its shape-retaining qualities. It's also comfortable to wear and quick to dry once you're out of the water. And if you treat it right, by hand-washing the suit in cold water and line drying, that bold black color will stay true for many seasons.

The Pearl's simple cut is softened with ruching around the bust and along the torso. These pleats add fashionable texture to the finish while also flattering the figure. You'll probably still need a bit of confidence to wear this swimsuit though. One-pieces with such plunging necklines are never for the faint hearted, although it's worth noting there are hidden cups in the bust to support and enhance your natural curves.

Considering its superior materials and timeless styling, I'm impressed that Tommy Bahama charges just $126.That price isn't exactly cheap, but many labels charge it for just a bikini top! Think of it as an investment in several summers of fun and it'll be easier to part with the cash.

Sheridyn Swim Launches New Collection | Australian Model Designer Releases Summer Swimwear Line

LaurenK — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 06:40:40 +0000

While fashion lovers in the Northern Hemisphere are feeling the chill, folks in Australia are getting ready to hit the beach. To celebrate the start of summer Down Under, model Sheridyn Fisher has launched a brand new swimwear collection.

Eight models took to the catwalk at Sydney's Piano nightclub to showcase the sexy new season Sheridyn Swim bikinis, one-piece suits, and beach dresses. The pieces are ultra feminine, with soft ruffles, pretty bows, and plunging necklines. The color palette is classic with monochromatic hues and metallic shades dominating.

Sheridyn Swim has gone from strength to strength since its debut collection launched in 2010. Today its eBay store sells more than a million dollars worth of swimwear each summer, making it the highest selling swim boutique on the auction site.

While many of those sales come from Fisher's homeland, the swimsuits are also proving popular with American audiences, including some of the model's famous friends. Fisher told The Central Coast Express-Advocate that the bunnies of the Playboy Mansion "adored" her creations when she showed them off on a recent American jaunt.

With prices starting at $49.90, you happily don't need a famous sugar daddy to indulge in the swimsuits. They're available to order from the Sheridyn Swim website.

Gottex Katalist Swimsuit | Red Asymmetrical One-Piece Bathers

LaurenK — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 06:10:13 +0000

Gottex makes a dramatic shoreside style statement with this Katalist swimsuit.

I first admired Gottex's asymmetrical one-shoulder designs with the Rhythm, and I'm every bit as impressed with this new swimsuit. While the two styles are similar, the Katalist is much cleaner than its stable mate. The pleating across the bust is gone, replaced with a much smoother finish. The strap is also a bit more interesting thanks to its modern enamel hardware.

The Rhythm's pleats helped to hide problem areas, but the Katalist has a few features hidden away that serve the same function. The inbuilt tummy control helps to smooth bumps around the belly, while soft cups in the bust provide support and some extra oomph.

The bright red material is made from a quick drying blend of polyamide and knitted elastane. You'll need to make an effort to keep the color so vibrant though. This suit requires careful hand washing with a mild soap and shade drying to look its best. I think that effort is worth making, because if it looks its best its timeless styling should stand up to several seasons wear. That's the best way to see value for your $158 investment.
