Spot Four - Style Tips for Swimwear


The countdown to summer has begun! Don't forget to pick up the best style advise from Swimspot's fabulous advisors!

Dana’s Style Tip - What Catches Your Eye?  
I think the key to finding your best personal swimwear look is trying on the swimwear styles that catch your eye. Doing this will lead you to the swim silhouette that best compliments your body shape!  Whether you are skinny or curvy, it's all good!  An important key to "bikini confidence" is appreciating your flattering attributes and styling your look around them.  My favorite swim silhouette that looks best and enhances my good qualities are bikini top with an  under-wire, a halter-top or push-up top.  I also favor the hipster bottoms because you can adjust them to highlight your own hip area. The perfect bikini is whatever highlights your best feature. Now, strut your stuff!  This flirty Guess G'odess Bikini from the SwimSpot site is exactly what I'm talking about!



Katty’s Style Tip - Already accessorized suits!
Take the work out of getting poolside glam. Instead of spending all your time scrounging around to find that perfect accessory that goes with your suit, opt for swimwear that has eye catching accessories already built in. In your twenties – go for the D’Orsay Bandeau Top and Side Tab Bottoms by LUXE by Lisa Vogel. Thirty and flirty – try the Tate Peekaboo Tankini and Tab Side Bottoms. And for lovely ladies in your fourties – glam out with Athena’s Namibia Bandini Top and Banded Bikini Bottom. All these looks have eye catching details that require no additional effort. So go out and spend your time soaking up the sun!



Thea’s Style Tip - How do you pick out your swimsuit?  What first attracts you to a suit? The cut? The color? The print?
Last month, the Women’s Health staff had the opportunity to mingle with our counterparts at Men’s Health at one of New York City’s hottest new restaurants. Days later, the party pix went online and my coworkers couldn’t stop complimenting me. I logged on to view the photos and found the source of my mojo: My blazing tangerine dress stood out in a sea of neutral corporate casual. Obviously, a bold color makes a strong statement in both ready-to-wear and swimwear. It behaves almost like a spotlight, so wearers beware: All eyes will be on you. That might sound traumatizing in a swimsuit but you can temper the situation with a silhouette that serves your figure best. As someone who’s boxy, I look for skimpy bottoms that I can sling low on my hips to create the illusion of curves. I opt for a fixed-triangle halter top that can both showcase and support my girls.  I love this Hurley Deluxe Bandeau Top and Deluxe Hipster Bikini Bottom. It’s like the beachside equivalent of my Little Red Dress.

  • 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!
  • Feelin' Nautical?Feelin' nautical? Hit the deck with Nautica's Classic Solids Underwire One Piece Bathing Suit! This slimming one piece suit sports an underwire feature to provide optimal support, comfort, and fit. The white straps create a great contrast against the navy and the sweetheart neckline sets an irresistible modern twist on this maillot. To cover up, try Nautica's Under the Sea Tunic. The white and navy stripe print of the tunic perfectly compliments the solid suit, creating a chic sailor look.
