Isaac Mizrahi for Target Striped Swimwear | Pink Mix & Match Bikini Tops & Swim Bottoms

Isaac Mizrahi is on his way out at Target to spend more time on his namesake collection and his position at Liz Claiborne, so now is the time for fans to snap up pieces of his low-priced line. If you haven't got an Isaac swimsuit in your collection yet, may I present these pieces from his pink striped swimwear collection.

Several tops and bottoms are available for mixing and matching, including halter and bandeau bikini tops, a bandeau tankini top, skirted bottom, plain bottom, and strip-trimmed bottom.

There are a plethora of advantages to choosing from a mix-and-match swimwear line like this. First of all, you can choose the pieces for top and bottom that are most flattering to your figure.

You're not stuck with a skirted bottom just because you prefer a tankini top. Plus, if you want to buy more than one top or bottom you can change up your look whenever you please without buying a whole other suit. Or wear the tankini on the family vacation and the halter to pick up guys on the beach.

The orange, pink and red stripes give these predominately pink pieces a retro feel which is carried over in the silhouettes as well. All tops feature behind-the-neck ties to present the girls most pleasingly, with the halter giving some added lift and the bandeau offering flattering center gathered details.

These suits are fun and youthful, so if you're looking for something sophisticated and sexy, keep looking - probably not at Target. Turn to these when you're going for cute and preppy pool wear.

Victoria’s Secret Colorblock Bikini | Mix-Match Bikini Top & Bottom Sizes

AndreaT — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:24:37 +0000

Color-block bathing suits will never go out of style, and this offering from the Beach Sexy swimwear collection from Victoria's Secret shows why. Fun, beachy contrasting colors look great against a tan. Okay, perhaps a bit greater if you're a Victoria's Secret model, but everyone will appreciate the affect.

While I'd appreciate more color options, this only comes in the turquoise and green shown, it's vastly made up for by the fact that you can order top and bottom sizes separately. This is so important in swimwear and Victoria's Secret are one of the few brands that have cottoned on to that fact and offer the option for most of their swimwear.

Who's to say a girl who's a 6 on top is a 6 on bottom? Now if only they would size the tops by bra size, since they are the reigning retailer of bras, to ensure the perfect fit.

I'm guessing you might want to go up a size on the bottom because these look made for some slim hips and sit straight across. They have moderate back coverage.

As for the top, there's a removable halter strap and lined cups with removable light padding. This is a flattering neckline for most body types.
