Swim Preview

By JULIA MARCEL

Beach season is rapidly approaching, and while we know that this strikes fear in the hearts of many women, it also brings with it thoughts of sun-kissed skin, chic vacation spots and easy living. This year, throw caution to the wind and have some fun with your swim wardrobe. Don’t worry about your less than perfect physique and just choose something that makes you feel good. The designers have infused fun into this “dare-to-bare” fashion. Designer swimwear by Rosa Cha, Karla Koletto, Vix, Gottex and many more set the tone for the beach season each year with their creative and cutting-edge styles. This year, Karla Koletto offers retro styles in candy colored options, while Michael Kors provides the perfect jet-set look. For a sophisticated style, opt for swimwear by Eres, Versace or Gucci. Or get a youthful look for your lazy days in the sun from Juicy Couture. This season, Marc Jacobs is even debuting his first swimwear collection. His edgy downtown style translates to sleek modern cuts and hip style. So, whichever type of swimwear you prefer, this year’s trends are sure to make a splash.

Oh-so-hot looks for under the sun
