A Summer Must Have: One-piece Suits

There is a common misconception when it comes to one-piece bathing suits. The school of thought is, that they are solely reserved for people who are older, shy, timid, or those trying to hide their imperfections. This couldn't be further from the truth. The best way to prove our point is to look towards some of the most beautiful celebrity ladies and see how they have worn a one-piece suit. Each of these glamorous women have chosen to wear a one-piece suit and we all know it isn't because they are shy or don't look amazing in a bikini.

With so many bikinis out there today a great way to break from the norm and really stand out is by trying a one-piece bathing suit. They are figure flattering and come in a variety of styles and colors to fit anyone's shape. If you are looking for something with a retro vibe look for a style like the suit Kirsten Dunst is wearing. With a checked pattern and a 50's style cut this is a great modern way to try a vintage inspired suit. Are you more of a romantic girl at heart? Look to Beyonce for your style inspiration for a great one-piece with long modest coverage on the bottom. This works great for pear and hourglass shapes by providing additional thigh coverage. Do you prefer to stand out? Try a red hot color like Penelope Cruz. This suit is definitely not for those looking to hide. Lastly we have one of America's sweetheart's Reese Witherspoon. She is a great example of a classic apple shape. She has selected a black one-piece with a ruched midsection. This is a great style for those looking to draw attention away from their stomach.

With so many great one-piece styles to choose from, fear of  being boring on the beach this summer definitely won't be a problem.

Luli Fama 2013: La Dolce Vita Miami

Luli Hanimian and brother-in-law Augusto Hanimian are team behind the swimwear brand Luli Fama. At Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Miami last month they debuted their 2013 collection entitled "La Dolce Vita Miami." You can watch the full Luli Fama 2013 runway show right now on the AWB homepage. 

As usual they sent a long list of looks down the runway. The signature triangles, wavey-side bottoms, halters, push-up bandeaus and twist bandeaus all made an appearance in a luxe new range of prints. Luli Fama also introduced some exciting new body styles: a thong bottom, high-wasited bottom, smocked bottom and a padded top covered in strappy details in contrasting colors. The print directions included pastels, florals, tribal prints and polka dots but the overwhlming trend at Luli Fama 2013 was scarf prints.  In the past year, scarf print has seen a huge revival celebs such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Miami work vintage Versace, Hermes, Ferragramo clothing and accessories in with scarf motifs into their wardrobes. Luli's bright and modern take on the scarf print is guaranteed to be a hit with the fashion crowd.

A range of floral patterns were worked into super-sweet 'kinis with lace and ruffles for the girly-girly girls out there. 

Luli Fama swimsuits are always infused with Latin sexiness and flair. The provocative silhouettes, vibrant colors and quality construction has made fans out of celebrities including Beyonce, Cindy Crawford, Shakira, Jennifer Aniston, Leann Rimes, Kate Hudson and  Kourtney Kardashian.

AllWetBeachwear.com will carry Luli Fama 2013, look out for it in our "What's new" section.

Celeb Swim Style

Mom-to-be Beyonce isn’t shy about her baby bump. She sunned her tummy in Croatia in a white ruffled two piece. We could also see her in this more colorful floral number the Bendita Munich from Agua Bendita.

 

Rhianna likes edgy swimsuits and is often seen in animal prints, neon and neutral tones. She was spotted this August in this strappy number. An even sexier, strappy two-piece would be the Muy Caliente V Bring Bandeau from Luli Fama. 

No one looked hotter on the red carpet at the Emmy's this past Sunday than Sofia Vergara. She looks best on Modern Family in rich jewel tones and curve hugging silhouettes. A tube style bikini top with adjustable cups like the Despi Copacabana in this rich purple shade would be a stunner on her figure.

Kim Kardashian lives in swimwear or at least that is what one would gather from the tabloid coverage of her. This week she is on the cover of US Weekly in an Aqua Vix Bia Tube Bikini. This tube style Classic Black Bikini from Caffe has luxurious turquoise hardware and would look great paired with her cover-up.  

 

 

Katie Holmes has become a bit of a fashion icon since becoming Mrs. Tom Cruise but she still retains her girl next door style which helped her earn stardom. She would want a classic cut and often wears stripes. For her, we like the new Luli Fama Isla Bonita Bikini.
