Feature: Tanning And Swimming In Style

The Summer is only a week away, but it feels like it has started already. So if you're planning on sunbathing by the pool or swimming at the Cote d'Azur then these are my trendtips to look stylish throughout the heat.


One of the biggest overall trends this Summer is the nude colour. It was the main theme of the Christian Dior S/S 06 collection and it also appeared in the swimsuit section. So when you are planning on tanning but not yet ready to try it in the real nude, try something fake nude such as this glamorous sunbathing suit.

This Summer it is also time to bring sex back to the poolside. Roberto Cavalli showed that perfectly with a finale parade of about 20 hot bathingsuits and steamy bikinis. This particular suit is perfect for lounging in the pool enjoying a Sex On The Beatsh cocktail. You are definetly gonna steel the show wearing this number.

Another aspect of the return of sex is the return of the Glamazon. Alexander McQueen put that feeling in his collection by giving it a gladiatrix theme. This sexy, gold and almost bondagy number is the ideal example of the seductive Glamazon. When you wear this down at the boulevards of the Costa Brava and you will be the center of attention.

The Emilio Pucci collection had some of the best bathingsuits of the season. They were bright and colourful and came in every shapes and sizes. To fit the sextheme, I chose to point out this bathing suit with a plunging neckline. Perfect for anything, it being swimming, tanning, lounging, et cetera. Who wouldn't want this?

When you're talking sex and swimsuits, then how can you not even mention Versace? Versace showed some bathing suits with that Baywatch silhouette but also this small, sexy number in blue. I think that blue is one of the best colours on the beach or especially by the pool, for any Summer. So I had to show this one too. It's blue, it's small and it's downright sexy. Everything you need for a hot Summer!
