High Neck, Wrap Front, Halter Top and Bikini Bottom from Beach Riot

Beach Riot "Jini" Style
Halter Bikni Top

The retro print is really the story on this bikini swimsuit. Beach Riot used crimson red for the background and deep gold and pink for the flowers

Swimsuit designers then used the classic halter style to complete the retro vibe. The front of the halter top crosses over and creates a very small opening at the bust line. It keeps the bikini halter top from looking too heavy and closed. The bikini top is secured with a bow at the top and a wide gold metal clasp at the bottom. The bottom of the bikini top has a v-shape. This makes your torso look longer and makes it more comfortable to wear.

A simple bikini swimsuit bottom completes the swimsuit. The sophisticated but simple design shows off the beautiful floral print to perfection. This is a very sophisticated swimsuit that will take you to the most elegant beach resort or cruise. Click Here to get the details.

La Blanca swimsuit designers put just enough shirring at the side to provide some visual relief at the mid-section. Something most women are grateful for. La Blanca dubbed this swimsuit Tropical.

I love this Miraclesuit tummy slimming halter swimsuit, because it doesn't look like a "slimming" swimsuit. From the waist down, it looks like a typical one-piece swimsuit. The secret is in the fabric. It's 5 percent spandex and 31 percent Lycra spandex. That's what you get from some very serious shapewear.

Other than that it's a classic halter swimsuit. It's either a turquoise blue or jade green on top and black on the bottom. The deep v-neck plunges to the very wide waistband. It reminds me of a cumberbund. It has shirring to figure flatter a woman's mid-section.

It provides coverage in the rear, but with a moderately high leg opening. The back isn't high, so that the suit covers what needs to be covered and still shows some skin. You'll find this Miraclesuit bathingsuit on Nordstrom.com. Click Here to find it easily.

Sporty Seafolly Hipster Bikini Swimwear

Seafolly Colorblock Hipster Bikini Swimwear

I think this Seafolly bikini swimsuit has a nautical flair. The colorblock print reminds me of those flags that sailors use to send messages. Seafolly actually calls it their Bandwave bikini. I think it's for the color patterns that they sometimes show in television. 

Anyways, the bikini top is fully lined and has removable cups. The spaghettin straps tie securely in the back. The hipster bikini swimsuit bottom has a lot of coverage in the seat for a bikini. The front has a very attractive pattern. There are pops of bright red, that look great with the softer aqua blues. Light creamy yellow is even worked into the pattern.

Blue medallion print will remind you of the Mediterranean cost. Just like we tend to wear flowing tops with fitted and smooth leggings or jeans, this tankini top looks better with a simple smooth bikini swimsuit bottom. I love the way that it's shown here with a white bikini swimsuit bottom, instead of blue. 

Nanette Lepore Geometric Print Bikini

Nanette Lepore Bikini Swimsuit

The entire bikini has a black background. While the front has a geometric print, the back of the bikini is black. Admittedly, the back of the bikini top is all string, so there isn't much place to put a print.

The shoulder straps cross and then go through a hole in the side of the top to anchor it. The bikini wearer can then tie it securely.

The focal point of the print is an embroidered square. To keep it from being boring, Nanette Lepore cuts the square off at midpoint on the bottom. She lets us see a bit more of it on the top.

There are days when you want to go to the beach or a pool party and not show everything that you've got off. However, you do have to wear swimwear or you'll stick out like a sore thumb and be uncomfortably hot. This bandeau tankini top is the solution. It has coverage, but not to much.

Check out the back. Profile by Gottex swimsuit designers got it right. It's low enough to let you fit in at the beach, but high enough to hide anything you want hidden.

Same with the skirted bottom. It's modest but not frumpy. The black gives you confidence to walk and even go swimming. The gray, white and black stripes on the tankini top actually hide figure flaws. People see the print and not the size of the waist.

Mara Hoffman Bandeau Bikini

Mara Hoffman Sunspoke Bikini

Mara Hoffman called this bikini swimsuit Sunspoke. That's because of the rays of the print that are in the center of the bikini top and bottom. You even see a stylish medallion print on the back of the bikini bottom. The back of the bikini top where it ties, is the only place you don't see sun spokes.

Hoffman makes this bikini swimsuit really interesting by making all of the central prints different. The medallion print on the front bottom is in earth tones, and the rays point downward. The print on the bandeau bikini top are in bright green and yellow with a hint of pink. The sun print on back of the bikini swimsuit is circular. The bottom half matches the front medallion print, but the top is new.

Robin Picone Batik Print One-Piece Swimsuit

Robin Piccone Rene Batik Print Swimsuit

Women often choose a black one-piece swimsuit because they believe it's the most slimming option. True, black is a slimming color. However, it's not the only option out there for women who want a darker, slimming silhouette.

Sometimes adding a print or texture to black makes it even more slimming. That's what Robin Piccone did when she added a batik print to this black halter swimsuit.

Notice how the batik print creates the illusion of the waist. Swimsuit designers shaped the print into a inverted "V" shape. Immediately the hips look smaller. The batik print flows over the bust to perfectly frame the plunging neckline. That in itself makes the body look narrower.

The halter bathingsuit back is bare, but not too bare. The back scoops down just above the waist. A woman can comfortably sit with confidence. Contemporary and attractive swimsuits for women over 40 can be hard to find. I think this one strikes the perfect balance between coverage and bareness.

Seafolly High Neck Bikini Swimsuit

Seafolly Black High-Neck Bikini with White Edges

Bathingsuit designers have finally figured out that some women don't want to fall out of their bikini tops. So they have started to design high-neck swimsuits. I like the fact that they managed to do this and keep the overall bikini swimsuit contemporary and appealing.

I love the colorblock design on this Seafolly high-neck bikini swimsuit. The top also has removable cups and boning for lots of support and shaping. The halter strap and back closure allow a woman to make the top fit perfectly. The white tie at the neck and the white closure at the back lighten up a black bikini swimsuit.

Robin Piccone Black Swimsuit with White Piping

If you are looking for a black bathingsuit that makes the most of your shape, then this one from Robin Piccone is for you.

Look at how the major princess seams carve your torso. Then notice how the white trim at the waist creates the visual illusion of a waist. Even the white trim at the the neck brightens the bust.

The bathingsuit back is a bit of a surprise and I like that. The racerback has laser cutouts and it's all surrounded by the white piping.

The tank bikini is further defined with black stripes, of a variety of line depths. I love the way the thick black one under the bust grounds bikini. Then the lime green defines and gives them shape.

The lime green stripe at the waist divides and forms a ever so thin line at the model's wast until it becomes thick again in the front.

Kate Spade Colorblock One-Piece Swimsuit with Jelly Flip Flops

Look fast and you'll swear this is a two-piece swimsuit. Kate Spade designers had fun placing a flesh-inspired band of color in the center of this colorblock swimsuit. It reminded me of the flesh-colored mesh that figure skaters wear on their costumes.

Retro bathing suits are now inspired by mid-century fashion. Twiggy could have worn the mod colorblock pattern show here.

Kate Spade carefully placed the black and white above the waist to slim the torso. The rosy pink band emphasizes the bust and a black edge grounds it perfectly.

Equal care was taken with swimsuit back. The rosy pink band at the bottom minimize the back view. The leg cut is fashionable, but there is still lots of coverae. This is one of my favorite swimsuits for women over 40. It is contemporary and fashionable, but provides the coverage many of us now want. Click here to get more info.

Sweet Black Ruffled Bikini from Freya Swimwear

So on the Nordstrom website, this is described as a skirted bikini. Now where I come from a skirted swimsuit sort of covers the hips a bit more than this. Don't get me wrong, this is a sweet black bikini. I just happen to think that this is more of a ruffle bikini. In fact the same ruffle is on the inside edge of each of the cups.
