Summer is upon us, which means the days are heating up and the clothes are coming off. While we’re all eager to hit the beach, the real question is what women will be wearing…or won’t be wearing this season.
According to the fashion Gods, the general trends of 2009 are bright colors, one-shoulder styles, and sheer fabrics. Swimsuits are no exception.
Browsing through the pages of InStyle and Vogue Magazine, I venture to say that the one-shoulder swimsuit will be the must have of the season. Taking its cues from the clothing trends of the year, this suit style comes as no surprise.
Alongside the one-shoulder look, the cut-out bikini (aka the “monokini”), will also be “hot”. We have Paris Hilton to thank for its spreading popularity.
Let me rewind a bit, you’re probably wondering what the heck a monokini is, as I was when I first came across the weird word. But it’s really quite simple. It’s a bikini, that’s been connected in the middle, hence ‘mono’ ‘kini’. This isn’t rocket science here.
But, let me just say that these suits are certainly not for swimming. These suits were made for posing. Evidently, for fashionistas, swimwear isn’t made for swimming, but with these styles, you’re bound to be the belle of the pool even if you never get wet once.
No swimsuit is complete without the proper accessories. The one key style this season: the sheer cover up.
I mean, leave a little to the imagination.
Now I just have one question: what kind of a tan are you supposed to get in a one-shoulder cut-out monokini?!??!
No offense to the fashion Gods, but I wouldn’t dare step out to the beach in a suit with all sorts of geometric chunks missing. If you’re like me, you love to run around in the surf, play beach volleyball, and toss a Frisbee around to enjoy the summer sun.
But these suits are just utterly impractical for actually having fun.
So what I will be sporting is a bright colored bikini, perhaps in fuchsia (considering it’s the “in” color). And, okay, maybe that sheer cover up.
