CG=MELISSA GOFF/BURDINES

(the hottest trend as far as the silhouette is definitely the tankini.)

(its very functional. say your at the beach right now basically you just pull on a sarong pull on a pair of shorts you've already got the top on and its functioning as a tshirt)

WHAT A GREAT IDEA. WHERE DID THEY THINK OF THAT ONE?

(basically what happens is, a trend will start in the ready-to-wear portion of fashion and it will filter down into all of the other categories specifically swimwear.)

SAME GOES FOR BANDEAUS, HOODED TOPS, AND ATHLETIC STYLES. SOME EVEN COME WITH A LITTLE EXTRA EH... HHEEEMMM... *LIFT* WHERE YA NEED IT.

(those will basically enhance your bustline give you a bigger rounded appearance now if you have a tummy

problem or a bulge the skirt will help disguise that )

YEAH...LIKE SHE NEEDS HELP DISGUISING ANYTHING! MOVING ON...IF YOU'RE NOT INTO BRIGHTS AND PASTELS...GUESS WHAT?

EARTH TONES WILL BE SAILING INTO BEACHWEAR SOON.

(the new trend is going to be in neutrals. just the same as it is in fashion trends. we're all aware of khakis, so you'll see quite a few khakis in the swim market as well as greys)

AND WHAT ABOUT THE GUYS? TROPICAL PRINTS, SPORTY STYLES AND BRIGHTS ARE HOT. AND DESIGNERS ARE THROWING IN SOME

FUNKY NEW FABRICS...LIKE 'NEOPLEEN'.
