Mara Hoffman takes us back to the 70s with this playful Macrame Swimsuit. Despite the decade's fashion enjoying a style resurgence, the market hasn't been flooded with macramé. That’s to this swimsuit's advantage, because it appears fresh rather than a fashion follower. Its unusual looks will probably deter girls who like to play it safe though. It shows an awful lot of skin, a…

Tori Praver brings a little Navaho flair to a classic one piece with this Luna swimsuit. The Luna takes its cues from the label's Kelly swimsuit, but its long fringing sets it apart. I love the way this decoration emphasizes the curve of the plunging neckline. The detail draws attention to the area, which is probably just what you want when you're wearing such a low-cut swimsuit! The d…

Tori Praver's jumped on the colorblock bandwagon and delivered this on trend Marilyn swimsuit. It's ironic that its name recalls one of our most iconic beauties of yesteryear, because its styling screams 2012. Personally I'd prefer a more vintage approach. The green body and purple bandeau style bust clash a little too loudly for me, although it's a matter of preference. I also wo…

Tommy Hilfiger delivers a clever trompe l'oeil with this Striped Swimsuit. It seems like this swimsuit is made up of a tankini and pair of navy blue briefs. However it's actually all one piece. The tankini style top is attached to the bottoms underneath, so you needn't worry about coordinating your outfit. Tommy Hilfiger's done all the hard work for you. Fashion purists say blue and…

Dolfin's created a swimsuit for serious athletes with its Chloroban swimsuit. Chloroban is an advanced type of polyester renowned for its flexibility, soft, comfortable fit, and endurance. It holds it shape over several seasons wear, and its colors stay true, even if you're swimming in chlorinated water during the off-season. That longevity is a real advantage for water babie…

Indulge in New York City style on the beach this summer with this Madison Avenue Swim Dress from Nanette Lepore. There's an awful lot going on here, perhaps too much. Yet Nanette Lepore's conviction and commitment to her design vision somehow makes this overembellished style work. The ruffles and rosettes along the bustline and shirring across the body may not impress minimalist…

Sugar and spice come together deliciously with Tavik's El Diablo Monokini. Monokinis are always sexy with their deep, plunging necklines and cheeky side cut-outs. But Tavik tempers this scandalous suit with a delicate mint green color and soft, feminine ruffles. It's as if these pretty accents are saying "I'm a good girl, really." The revealing suit tells us otherwise though, a…

Speedo has always been the go to brand for serious swimmers. With the Shining Star though, the label delivers a swimsuit for girls who just want to have fun. The Shining Star gets its name from its dynamic star pattern. I like the various greens used on this suit, but it's just one of six possible color combinations. This print livens up what is essentially a fairly basic styled swimsui…
