We always enjoy discussing fashion trends and our favorite trends always seem to include swimsuits. This year we were delighted at the most popular prints and designs to grace 2012 and felt that these popular choices represented the swimming, stylish women of the world perfectly. With three prints and three designs to suit all body types and swimming needs, we just had to share these fantastic suits with you.
Prints
A print on a swimsuit can turn it from a humdrum suit to trend setting, head turning, and statement making beachwear. The swimsuit prints of 2012 are ferociously stylish and popular in so many ways, as this year women celebrate being wild with animal prints, stand out with geometric designs and glam it up with classy stripe prints.
Animal
The animal print is in this year with wild designs of cheetahs, leopards and pythons. Women all over the world have embraced their wild side with these head turning suits. Did we mention all of these prints fit perfectly with the wavy and wild beach hair styles we’ve seen lately?
Geometrical
The geometrical print is a fashion statement for the fashion forward and trend setting beach goer. We’ve seen sharp modern lines, triangles and even circle patterned prints that will make sunbathers think you’re a fashion conscious celebrity out for a day the beach. We’ve seen plenty of celebrities pair geometrical printed suits with high ponytail hair styles and blunt cut bangs, completing this fashionable look.
Designs
These swimsuit designs of 2012 are a perfect combination of classic elegance, femininity and edgy style and it’s no wonder they are the most popular designs of 2012.
Ruffle
The ruffle design has been popular for 2012 because of its feminine yet sporty quality. A ruffle suit is eye-catching, sweet and sassy all at once and we’ve seen ruffles on bikini tops and bottoms together, separately and on sarongs. Ruffled suits have been paired with gorgeous curly hair styles and bangle bracelets to complete the sassy beach style.
Retro
Retro swimsuit designs are in for 2012 and they present a classic elegance that is uncommon at the beach. Girls are sporting adorable bandeau tops inspired by 1950’s suits and are able to pull off a sexy, sophisticated beach look that is one-of-a-kind and timeless all at once. We’ve seen women all over the world sporting these inspired suits with 1940’s and 50’s wavy pinned up hair styles.
Solid Colors
Women all over the world love the solid color look and so do we. These suits offer a simple and classy style that when paired with an interesting cut or fit, steals the show! Solid prints have and will always be a classic look for swimwear styles.
Also, we are so excited to mention that the most popular men’s suit this year is our very own Captains Quarters which come in print and plain styles with comfortable support for every man’s swimming needs.
No matter your body type or personal style, 2012’s most popular designs and prints allow women to find the perfect popular suit for them.
