Sizzling Summer Swimmers
12/20/99
Where ever you are in the world summers coming up (or
already here), and
that usually means a few things, two of my favourites being
Swimming, and
(for the musically inclined) Summer Festivals. I know
summer's my favourite
season, so if your a summer-luvin' chick, sit down and
prepare for a feast
of summer fashion talk!
2000's Hot Swimmer-Fashions
Bright Colours, bold patterns and Indian inspirations are
all carried into
the pool, with crocheted triangle bikini's making a rather
influential
comeback (yeh!) and shiny, delicate, and down-right odd
materials reigning.
Styles vary, but patterns are concrete: Hawaiian is almost
dead, and making
way for plain colours in bright tones, earthy zigzags and
traditional
pradesh icons in silver and gold.
But what if your not sure what to try, or try to hide? Make
it a rule to try
accentuate the good points of your body whilst paying less
attention to the
bad. If your seriously self-conscious about an aspect of
yourself try some
of these figure fixing styles!
Without a waist:
A one piece with vertical stripes that bow
out from the
sides, or tube tops and bikini bottoms all create the
illusion of being
curvy.
Big Bust:
Square or high necklines are very useful, or
thicker shoulder
straps.
Big Butt:
Boy leg swimmers, either bikini or 2 pieces have a
great
butt-minimising effect.
Flat Chest:
V-neck swimmers, with underwire or padding help
fill your chest
out.
Short legs:
To give yourself height, try a strapless one
piece, or a high
cut high waist bikini.
Small (petite):
Chunky patterns, tie-up bikini bottoms, and
hipster styles.
So now we've got that sorted, you can get out into the sun
and swim!
