Take a Second Look at Bathing Suits for 2013

Unlike books (except for Kindle), bathing suits are at the top of my list when thinking about my cruise. Here is what I’ve found out about this season’s top ten swim suits for 2013 from online with The Hollywood Reporter’s top ten list of heady or rather head turning sassy swimwear. They title the article Ten: Strange New Swimsuits. Strange is a strong statement. Strangely they listed eleven, maybe that’s what makes it strange. However, you be the judge. It’s my bet that these swim suits with their straps, gaps and corset looks will make you want to bookmark this site. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/new-swimsuits-bikinis-2013-miami-show-dolores-cortez-364381#1

The trend now is moving away from the low cut bikini to a High Panty Waist. Hey, the convincing factor with this trend is the Spanx effect.

2 / 11

I call this stylistic trend sassy. “Straps gaps and corset looks”, the type of swimwear that will turn anybody’s head. The Hollywood Reporter  labeled their number two as a “bondage –inspired, strapped one-piece bathing suit. No mention in the notes of how to keep this hair style on the beach with this sky high beehive hair do. Any ideas?

3 / 11

Separate like, but together looking bustier and bottom bikini (in the traditional way). Bustier bikinis are hot and trending.

4 / 11

This elegant low cut one piece is a classic that has sheers to the elbows and it is dazzling. The Hollywood Reporter writes that these wisps of fabric off the shoulder are designed to “disguise bothersome upper arm issues”. Would I wear this without upper arm issues?- Yes.

5 / 11

Mini skirts as swimwear, why not? Number five shows a Bustier and miniskirt that reminds the author of the prohibition era? It is a noticeable look because of the print design.

6 / 11

Number six is the best of all. The Hollywood reporter says “ This high-waisted, black two piece by Lisa Bluelooks like something Lady Gaga either has worn or will wear.”  The high waist black strappy is predicted to become a number one  favourite in the list of ten.  No worries about messing up my sky high beehive with this head dress architecture. The bustier has semi transparent cups for a window like look.

7 / 11

Number seven got a harsh rating but I rather like it. The author calls it stringy I say it’s another great version of stappy. Another new trend might be the Bikini and hat. The matching hat is nice enough to take to the beach and much more practical.

8 / 11

This beach swim wear is called surfing gear. It is less a bikini and more of a low-rise legging with matching bikini top….. in the traditional style.

9 / 11

Number nine is described by the Hollywood Reporter as an Enlistment poster. The medals on the bikini brief  over the “cropped army  t-shirt were a dive.

10 / 11

Number ten shows this trend that includes a long flowing chiffon over a skimpy bikini. This was considered impractical by the author. Compared with some of the others, it seems like it might become rather trend setting. Less likely to be practical are the matching high heels. They might prove to be tricky in the sand.
