It seems each spring, one of our most popular blog topics is the year’s trends in swimwear.
Our readers hope to learn about the newest Feadship yacht charter vessel to launch. You will need to wait a few days while we help the ladies get a jump on this summer’s hottest swimsuit fashions.
EDITOR NOTE
Editor’s note– the trend toward one-piece swimsuits that we saw in 2012 is continuing to grow as stylish celebrities, from full-figured girls like Beyonce to the ultra-slim Taylor Swift, are rocking one-piece bathing suits known as “maillots.” With so many A-listers going with one-piece suits, department stores and boutiques are stocking more monokinis and fewer bikinis. The New York Post reports one-piece swimsuit sales are up around 20 percent in local New York shops.
SEASONAL FAVORITES
In a salute to the maillot trend, here are our 2013 seasonal favorites.
