Swimwear Trends: Not Your Garden-Variety Floral Swimsuits

Posted by Siofan | Tuesday May 31, 2011

There's no reason why the pretty florals you wear to a ladies luncheon can't be reworked for the beach. From classic Liberty-style blooms to big, tropical foliage, there's as many varieties of prints as, you guessed it, there are flowers.

From left: Milly Viola Floral Print Key Largo Bandeau Bikini Top (C$107.41) and Portonfino Bikini Bottom (C$107.41); Shoshanna Birds of Paradise Bikini Top (C$132.23) and Bottom (C$81.27); Juicy Couture Maisey Piqué Bikini Top (C$96.15) and Hipster Bottom (C$86.95)

From left: Old Navy Mix & Match String Bikini Top (C$17.50) and Bottom (C$17.50); Forever21+ Ruffled Floral Bathing Suit (C$35.80); Tommy Hilfiger Floral Halter Top (US$39.00) and Bottom (US$39.00)

From left: Victoria's Secret Magicsuit Firm Control Plunge-Front One-Piece With Shoulder Ties (US$144.00); Tommy Hilfiger Floral One Piece (US$69.00); Quiksilver Garden Floral Reversible Bikini (US$88.50)

Do you like smaller florals, or blooms that are big and bold?

I definitely veer toward bold prints that are more abstract than the more literal flowers - I'm not feeling the Victoria's Secret one-piece for that reason.
