Hot Bikini Trends

Whether you are planning a tropical getaway this summer or braving the cold Winter, it is time to start thinking about updating your sexy swimwear. 

The latest bikini trend is actually influenced from decades past. The retro look is once again hot for swimwear. With pop stars like Katy Perry and Rihanna sporting swimwear inspired by the 1940s and 1950s, this trend has caught on with swimwear brands and bold fashionistas.

These suits feature high-waisted bottoms and are cut lower on the leg for fuller coverage. The tops are often designed similar to bras, with underwires and a lot of support. The suits range from solid colors to retro floral patterns.

Another hot trend features a one-shouldered top. Instead of a regular top with two straps, this sexy bikini has a wide band that crosses over to one shoulder. Many of these tops are a bandeau style, rather than a traditional top with cups. This style, while fashion-forward, is still tame enough for women who want to try something new without choosing a wild swimsuit.

The "monokini" is the newest design in swimwear, and many celebrities have already embraced the trend. This swimsuit resembles a one piece with large cutaways at the sides. All that remains is the top and bottom of the bathing suits, with a "strip" of fabric connecting them, usually down the middle of the suit. "Monokini" designs vary greatly, and are the most daring of the new crop of bikinis showing up at the beach.

Shopping for sexy bikinis online is a great option if you know your size. While some women prefer to try on their swimsuits at a store, there is a much larger stockof styles and colors online. Find a web site with a great return policy and don't be afraid to experiment with new colors and styles for summer 2014.
