Trina Turk Tamarindo Bikini

Trina Turk serves up a contemporary take on the classic black and white combination with this Tamarindo bikini.

This modern swimsuit has a traditional cut, but it's livened up by its abstract beaded print. You can see the strings of beads if you're looking for them, but they're rendered in such an artistic way that they don't seem like a novelty. Prints are always in danger of dating, but the time honored color combination and abstract treatment should make this one survive a few seasons.

This monochromatic print is made much richer with the addition of golden metal hardware near the bust. I really love the way the metal looks, but I'm not sure how comfortable it'll be against your skin, especially if it heats up in the summer sun. They do say that beauty is pain though, and this accent is very beautiful.

The blend of nylon and spandex makes the Tamarindo comfortable to wear, flexible in the water and quick to dry when you step out of the surf. However it'll take some care to keep it looking good and its colors true. The hand washing required may be too much for some fashion fans, but I think it's worth the effort.

After all, this Tamarindo bikini top is pretty expensive for half a swimsuit. If you're forking out $93 for it, you'll probably want to keep it looking its best for as long as possible!
