Swimsuit shopping should no longer be intimidating, with the wide variety of styles designers are creating to fit a consumer of every shape and size. Why be limited to that “itsy bitsy teenie weenie” bikini cultural ideal and when you can have variety in your suits with endless options in color, coverage and support, now more than ever? I think the more suit options, the more fun in the sun.
High-Waisted Bottoms — With retro-inspired sartorial wear all the rage (thanks to Mad Men), this 50s pin-up inspired two piece will flatter virtually anyone, especially if you want to mask the lower ab area.

Underwire — An underwire bathing-suit top is great for those more bustier among us. The underwire not only helps provide support, but can also create lift to even subtly enhance cleavage.

Wide-Banded Tops — Wide-banded tops offer full support without the tell-tale underwire. The ties around the neck and/or back, these options provide a personalized snug fit.
