Beach Time!
Take your bikinis and summer dresses out from ur closet, but before hitting the shore let's first know what are the trends this year. What's Hot in this summer?
COLOR
Highlighted summer hues in this season are the solid, bold colors such like tangelo, lavender, turquiose, coral pink, lemon, deep pink, paris green, fallow, duke blue and medium taupe. Don't be bothered if you got neon or pastel colors, they never fail to complement the season. I don't know what's the real pick this year but i have to agree (personally bias) with http://www.squidoo.com/sharsspringsummerfashion that mint green (one of my favorite colors) is the color this season: so cooling, refreshing and rejuvenating.
A little advice, do away matching over three colors if you dont want the fashion police will drag you in the box.
If you need minute guide how to mix-up ur garments in the right contrast here's an excerpt from http://www.pantone.com/pages/fcr.aspx?pg=20911&ca=4.

and Cabaret. Combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Cockatoo for a subtle
alternative, or combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Driftwood for a more
practical variation. Solar Power is best juxtaposed with Sodalite Blue. For a safer
bet, add a natural neutral like Starfish to the mix.

Design
Flowers, Abstract Prints and Stripes are popular. If you have noticed, they are the revival of the earlier years. Minimal changes done in tailoring. So, you can still use your last year wardrobe or your casual wear. Just add some twist to make it look anew.
SWIMWEAR
If you're planning of hitting the beach, you desperately need a swimwear that will fit to your body type. Here are some suggested selections of swimwear you would like to consider:
VINTAGE-INSPIRED
RUFFLED
PRINTS
ONE-SHOULDER
CUT OUT
SEQUINS
MONOTONE
RETRO
BANDEAU
ON-TREND SWIMWEAR FOR YOUR BODY TYPE
The reality is that when it comes to swimwear, not every cut is going to flatter every figure. But between all of the trending 2011/2012 styles there’s certainly something for everyone. It will certainly always come down to what you’re most comfortable with, but if you’re after a starting point here are some shape-based suggestions:
- Fuller figure
Embrace the vintage trend and use it to accentuate rather than try and hide your curves. Try halternecks or cupped styles, and anything that brings in the waist to play to an hourglass shape.
- Pear shape / small bust
Use ruffles to your advantage by adding volume at the top half. Ruffles around the bust can make it seem visually larger. You can also use vintage cupped styles with padding to create curves.
- Top heavy
Use ruffles to your advantage by conversely adding them to the bottom to balance your hips with your bust. Avoid unstructured crochets or string bikinis if they don’t offer any support; instead stick to strucutred styles and halternecks.
- Short legs
To lengthen the body pair a printed bikini top with a block-coloured bottom, drawing the attention upwards. Avoid boy-legs and go for high cut thighs instead so as to not shorten the legs further.
- Athletic figures
If you’re not big on the curves make the most of styles like statement strapping, backless styles and crochet that instead show off a toned physique.
