Guess She’s Ditsy Bikini

Black Floral Modest Underwire Swim Top

Guess She’s Ditsy Bikini | Black Floral Modest Underwire Swim Top I’m not sure what "she's" wearing on the beach, but according to Guess if she's not wearing its black floral bikini, She's Ditsy! I'm not really in favor of tearing down the fashion choices of other girls on the beach, so Guess' cheeky moniker doesn't impress me. But I do like what the irreverent label's done with this classic underwire bikini. In many ways this is a very traditional…

Athleta Bolinas Bikini

Printed Brown Halter-Neck Swim Top

Athleta Bolinas Bikini | Printed Brown Halter-Neck Swim Top Athleta takes its inspiration from a popular Northern Californian surf spot with this Bolinas Bikini. I really like the casual, tribal feel of the Bolinas' print, and the way its teal and lemon hues pop against the earthy brown blend of nylon and spandex. This material is a smart choice as it as a UPF rating of 50+, the equivalent of most high quality sunscreens. It's also breathable f…

Guess Smell the Roses Bikini Top

Feminine Floral Bow Swimsuit

Guess Smell the Roses Bikini Top | Feminine Floral Bow Swimsuit Guess has created a swimsuit for the girly girls with the Smell the Roses. Floral prints are common, but few are quite as feminine as this one. Guess has traded in the bold tropical colors and abstract blooms for a print that's much softer in pastel hues. The pretty rose pattern is complemented by a soft bow at the bust. Modern misses might think the accent is overkill, but let's remembe…

Tommy Bahama Santa Margarita Halter Top

Conservative Orange Floral Print Bikini

Tommy Bahama Santa Margarita Halter Top | Conservative Orange Floral Print Bikini Tommy Bahama's created a bikini for self-conscious sun lovers with this Santa Margarita halter top. Most girls who don't feel confident in their skin tend to steer clear of bikinis. However as this one offers more coverage than the average, I predict it might just win them over. The top doesn't plunge quite as dramatically as most, and the wide band beneath the bust covers a bit more.…

Ujena Mediterranean Skirted Bikini

While much of Ujena's range seems aimed at teens and twentysomethings, this Mediterranean looks to capture an older market. It's still a two-piece, but it doesn't reveal as much skin as the average bikini. Its top h…

Carve Designs Women’s Cali Bikini Top

Convertible Palmilla Printed Swimsuit

Carve Designs Women’s Cali Bikini Top | Convertible Palmilla Printed Swimsuit Carve Designs gives us a little more versatility than the average with this Cali convertible bikini top.
