2011 Swimwear Trends: Striped Swimsuits

Posted by Siofan | Wednesday June 1, 201113 comments

Strip down to stripes and hit la plage. From sailor to rugby to '70s-style brights there's a stripe for every kind of gal. Select the right size and direction and stripes can create width where you want it and create a more flattering shape (chevrons are great for disguising a tummy). Here's are some of our favourites:


From left: Quiksilver Kiss & Tell Bikini (US$88.00); Zara Wide Stripe Bikini Top (C$25.90) and Bottom (C$25.90); Old Navy Striped Swimsuit (C$24.50 sale)


From left: Nike Reversible Halter Bikini Top (C$40.00) and Bottom (C$40.00); J. Crew Marina-Stripe Ring Bandeau Top (US$56.00) and Bottom (US$48.00); Anthropologie Lane Lines Maillot (US$168.00)


From left: J. Crew Cutter-Stripe Underwire Top (US$56.00) and Bottom (US$48.00); Anthropologie Beach Comber Bikini Top (US$39.95 sale) and Bottom (US$39.95 sale); Tommy Hilfiger Rugby Striped Bandeau Top (US$39.00) and Bottom (US$39.00)


From left: Jets by Jessika Allen Coastline Striped Bikini Top (US$125.00) and Bottom (US$90.00); Victoria's Secret Hot Tuna Striped Bandage Halter Top (US$66.00) and Bottom (US$64.00); Old Navy Americana Bandeau Bikini Top (C$22.50) and Bottom (C$22.50)

@Tammy, it applies to me!! But..,it's making that area that you want wider, so who's the complain? :P

I love all of these. Particularly the Nike reversible halter and the Victoria's Secret hot tuna one.

Love these styles, but my favorite is the Anthropologie Lane Lines Maillot (gray striped halter one-piece). Wish the colour was a little darker though - light gray washes me out :/

Also, I heard that wearing horizontal stripes tend to make women look wider so does that rule apply to swimsuits as well?

@MaryGorgeous, Haha, I was gonna mention that one as well! I love big stripes, they give off this colour blocking feel.
