Summer Swim Trends: Animal-Print Swimsuits

Ladies, it takes a bold woman to wear one of these exotic-skin prints. You won't find demure cuts here, either. Swimwear designers know that if you're willing to play with animals, your wanting to show some of your own skin, too. Think you're wild enough to try one of these?

From left: H&M Bandeau Bikini Top (C$17.95) and Bottom (C$14.95); Diane von Furstenberg String Bikini Top (US$67.55 sale) and Bottom (US$63.99); Hermanny by Vix Leopard-Print One-Piece Swimsuit (C$107.24)

From left: Victoria's Secret Beach Sexy Liya Push-up Halter Top (US$24.00) and Bottom (US$16.00); Old Navy Leopard-Print String Bikini Top (C$15.00 sale) and Bottom (C$15.00 sale); Victoria's Secret Zebra-Print Push-up Halter Top (US$21.00 sale) and Bottom (US$15.00 sale)

From left: Zara Snake Skin Bikini Top (C$25.90) and Bottom (C$25.90); Michael Kors Python Print Linked Triangle Bikini (C$269.17); Vix Pisa Ruffle Triangle Bikini Top (C$61.15 sale) and Bottom (C$60.20)

Leopard, zebra, python—what print do you think is sexiest in a swimsuit?

	on May 30, 2011 TammyK 1,073 said: I don't think I'll be feeling comfortable wearing the H&M;Bandeau Bikini Top in water since there's not straps at all to secure the bikini top. It will be really nice to wear that if you're just on the beach tanning though since you won't get any tan lines on your shoulders or neck!

	on May 30, 2011 TammyK 1,073 said: I love the zebra print swimsuit! The white and black really pops against her skin tone. It probably also look so good because the model looks good. I'm not as fit so it might not be a good idea for me to wear that. I should try to blend in more haha.

	on May 30, 2011 takoda 28,648 said: I have a swim suit just like the Diane Furstenberg only mine is a darker color like the Hermanny next to it. Although I don't think I'll be putting it on this summer now that I've put on a few pounds. I have to much of a belly for a bikini this year.LOL I love all of these prints and wouldn't mine one in a full piece now that I'm getting older and rounder. LOL Beautiful finds Siofan.
