Smart Designer Swimwear
It’s almost holiday time again and we all know that a new location is just a new catwalk, where we can strut our stuff, in style, in considerably less clothing. No holiday is complete without a suitcase packed to the brim with swimwear, preferably with lots of different items that show off just how firmly we have our fingers on the fashion pulse.
The celebrity’s swimwear designer of choice is, more often than not, Melissa Odabash. Jemima Khan, Jennifer Lopez and Cheryl Cole are all fans and are regularly seen lounging around a pool in the designer’s smart swimwear designs. They’ve no doubt picked up more than a few pieces from Melissa’s Summer 2011 collection.
The latest collection from Melissa Odabash is full of up to the minute fashion choices so there is no way you will lose the style you are so used to, which can unfortunately happen too often in the heat.
Animal print is perennially in fashion and will never go out of style and this designer mixes it up with traditional leopard and modern python in muted tones of brown, khaki and grey but before you go thinking it’s all sounding a bit boring, check out the fluorescent basics available in the colours of the season – coral, turquoise and yellow and of course the classic, clean favourites in navy and white.
Whether you decide to go for a bikini or a one-piece swimsuit or even combine the two for a thoroughly modern monokini, you are well catered for by Melissa Odabash.
We have certainly come a long way in terms of the amount of flesh we can show off on the beach, since the days of Annette Kellerman and her infamous arrest for indecent exposure in 1907 but it is still necessary to cover up on some occasions and for those times there are maxi dresses, mini dresses and the designers signature kaftans. These beauties will take you from day to night, beach to bar and some might even work back home on a perfect summer’s day.
Now with so many beautiful styles to choose from, it is hard to pick favourites but the simply gorgeous Luxor Bandeau in navy blue with white links and the Missoni-esque Sicily string bikini with its fabulously bright colour block print are definitely high on the list.
There are so many super-smart designer choices out there for the discerning beach-goer and whilst Melissa Odabash has a huge range and exemplary style a notable mention must go to the fashion range that makes every woman look smoking hot- Herve Leger released a stunning cut-out bandage swimsuit this season that oozes so much style it almost hurts. With beautiful colour blocking and super body-con abilities this suit makes one gorgeous piece of swimwear.
Oh and don’t forget ladies, whilst a tan looks beautiful, sunburn never does. So be smart and wear plenty of sunscreen. Whether you are relaxing at home or lapping it up in the waves abroad, those rays are everywhere so protect your look.
