A great 1960s-era shot of Liz Taylor enjoying the beach will grace next month's cover of Vanity Fair--and post-Memorial Day weekend, that got us thinking about the beach ourselves. This week, we take a look at the best swimsuits for summer 2010.
Monokini: The monokini has a funny name, but a very flirty style. The throwback look made a comeback last summer, and it seems it's here to stay. Basically it's like a bikini with a
tiny bit more fabric. Target has a great selection of cute
monokinis this season--all around $30--and right now we've got a
Target coupon for
$5 off $50 or more (
in case you want to splurge and buy 2 new suits for the season).
Off the Shoulder: A nice variation on the traditional bikini, is the off the shoulder version, which is sure to be seen on the beach this summer. We're loving this retro looking stripey number from
Nicolita, which is on the pricey side with the top running $64 and the bottom running $57. One way to up date your beach look is to simply buy a new top and pair with a basic black bottom--likely available at your local department store at a reasonable price.
The Suit None of Your Friends with Have: Maybe you've got a crazy summer lined up where lots of people will actually see you in your suit, and you're looking for the perfect one to stand out in the crowd. If so, take a gander at the
Kerry Bikini halter style with denim trim. This is definitely a splurge item, at $180, but man is it cute. If you're hitting Saint Barts, a fancy tropical wedding, or the like, it might be worth it.
Retro Pin-Up Girl Suits: If you got inspired by that hot white number Liz is wearing, then maybe a retro suit is for you. The great thing about the retro pin-up girl look is that it's flattering on many body types and the look is classic, so it doesn't really go out of style. That said, the retro look can also carry a bigger price tag. We do love these looks from
BabygirlBoutique that range in price from $60 to $150.
