2011 Swimwear Trends: Sophisticated Shirring


The flattering trend that has been showing up all over town is most defiantly shirring. Shirring, often called ruching, is folds of gathered fabric that forms to your body to enhance and perfect in all the right places.  This trend can be found on all body types and looks good on everyone. As seen on the red carpet, this trend dawned celebrities like Nicole Kidman at the 2011 Grammy’s, Natalie Portman at the 2011 Academy Awards, and Mila Kunis at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Not only is this trend hitting the runways and draped along A-list stars, it is making its way into 2011 women’s swimwear. With shirred busts, fronts, and sides, it’s no doubt you’ll look a size smaller and feel great in your swimwear this season.  

Boost your glam factor with shirred sides or shirred front details. These designer bathing suits from Swimspot are right on trend.

For a slimming and sophisticated silhouette, look no further.  St. John has created the perfect shirred, asymmetrical one piece. In solid black or calypso pink, the Elegantly Solid one-shoulder silhouette has crossover ruching to make this bathing suit on-trend and ultra chic.

A designer swimwear line that will not let you down with shirred details is the Athena Pick Your Fit swimwear collection. It’s 2011 Maldives collection features Slim-Power© lining and shirred front and side detailing that undoubtedly will make you look a size smaller. By shaping to the natural curves of your body, this Athena collection enhances all the right places. Try the Athena Maldives Slimming Fauxkini One Piece for a timeless look.

Look great from head to toe in the Tommy Hilfiger’s Montauk Fever Skirted Swim Bottom. This shirred skirted bottom scrunches on the side for adjustable leg coverage. This flattering skirt and matching tankini top show your refined taste with a little animal print and flair of charm.

  • Look Good, Feel GoodFall is finally here! Time to dig up those scarves, boots, and cardigans buried deep inside your closet. In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now? Getting toned and fit is a gradual process—although I’m sure we all wish it would happen overnight. Swimsuit season will be coming around the corner before you know it, so save yourself from the intense dieting and exercise the week before spring break and start now!
