Womens Swimsuits And The Endless Benefits To You At The Beach

Every year people make resolutions. A number of these resolutions center on getting in shape and for some the goal is to look good for swimsuit season. This year Betsey Johnson has made things easier (or maybe harder) by already revealing their new lines of womens swimsuits for the 2010 season. This year it is what they have to offer is a mixed bag of great and not so great.

The Good

The first entry features the ever popular leopard print pattern. This is another bikini but that is where the similarities end. The Leopard -Print Wrap Around bikini from their swimwear line actually looks much like a halter top bikini. The top starts in the back but wraps around the front and connects at the top in back of the neck. The effect is both sexy and cute and promises much fun at the beach this summer.

What Does not Work

The first is the Red Carter Slashed one-piece. This one is not necessarily as sexy as the others but the it is an eye catcher and sure to be talked about, even just to comment on how bizarre it looks. This suit is a normal on one-piece swimsuit with one strap instead of two. That is not abnormal. What makes it a head turner is is that it features "slashes" across the front and sides, all the way up to the shoulder. The designers may have been aiming for "cute" by making it semi revealing, but in the end it looks like the wearer was mauled by a large cat.

Better On The Drawing Board?

Browsing this season's swimwear from Betsey Johnson, one can see many intriguing designs. For example there is, in the category of Little Black Swimsuits, the Topless Bikini. The very idea that they would tout it as topless, as if going topless is a new idea, is enough to make one smile. It may seem like a joke, but it is not. If it was a cute design, they may have been able to pull it off, but sadly, they did not. It starts out with a cute bottom and features a section of fabric in the front that tapers to two cords that tie off around the neck. Section of fabric is wide at the bottom, lending the impression the person is getting a rather severe wedgie. Not something that is sexy or cute. Adding to it all, is that this "topless bikini" features a removable bandeau top.
