WHAT: Ready or not, swimsuit season is upon us! Whether you're a Bond Babe, Surfer Girl, Smooth Sailor or Bahamas Mama, we've found four of the hottest swimwear trends of the season straight from the Summer 2009 and Resort 2010 runways.
WHERE: Yves Saint Laurent and Herve Leger channeled 007's favorite girl while Pucci and Stella McCartney played with the calm, pastel shades of the Bahamas. Red, white and blue spelled nautical at Michael Kors, D&G and Tommy Hilfiger as YPL and Alexander Wang went surfing with day-glo brights.
TIP: To find the best suit for your figure, first anaylze your body and determine your shape. Are you a triangle (narrow shoulders, wider hips), inverted triangle (wider shoulders/bust, narrow hips), rectangle (straight down), circle (round shoulders, waist & hips) or star (shoulders & hips are in proportion with each other)? Once you decide which category you fit into, look for a suit that highlights the part of your body you want to emphasize the most. For example, if you are a triangle, you will want to look for a bathing suit with a top in a bold colored or vibrant pattern in order to draw the eye up and create the illusion of a larger bust.
