The Write Style: 2012 Swimwear Trends


Spring is finally here! Unless, like me, you live in Florida in which case summer is here! With these seasons come bbq’s, beach days, and pool parties. Many of us have been preparing for this for months by spending time in the gym and not partaking of that second (or third) cupcake. The hard work has finally paid off and you are bathing suit ready! The only problem is what bathing suit should I wear? I’m here to give you the top five spring/summer 2012 bathing suit trends and where to go to get the one that appeals the most to you.

One shoulder: One shoulder bathing suits have become quite popular recently and because of this they have trickled down and can now be found in many swimsuit stores and websites. These suits are classy and also trendy, which makes them very popular right now.

Cut outs: Cut outs are popular because they can be worn by anybody. The style is very flattering for most any body type and will hide the problem areas for a lot of women. They are also pretty easy to find in major retailers, which is of course a huge bonus.
Retro: One type of bathing suit that is making a comeback is the retro suit. Think 1960’s and you have an idea. For those of you that read my Mad Men post, this would be the bathing suit of Joan’s choice. It is another great choice if hiding problem areas and they go great with a pair of cat eye sunglasses!



Prints: Prints have always been big when it comes to swimsuit design and this year is no different. Be prepared for lots of florals, geometric shapes, and animal prints. Personally, I am more of a floral person but for those that love a good zebra or cheetah print this is the trend for you.


Ruffles: There is something so sweet about a cute ruffled bikini. Ruffles have been spotted all over the runways and I’m here to tell you that there are plenty of options from retailers like Asos.



Hope you are all having a good week!

Lots of love,
