The Seasons Must Have Silhouette!

The Season Must Have Silhouette: Say YES to Wearing Off-the-Shoulder Tops or Strapless Swimwear. The shoulder-baring look has officially crossed the clavicle to go from trend of the moment to wardrobe mainstay. 

Luli Fama Wanted and Wild Lacey Underwire Bikini

Here’s everything you need to know to master this seasons must-have. 

Freeing those shoulders means introducing a few new steps to your regimen:

Go for the glow with a dusting bronzer over your collarbone to play up beachy, off-the-shoulder styles for day, or sweep on a superfine, shimmery highlighter after the sun sets to embody all-out evening/ boardwalk glam.

Apply—and reapply!—sunscreen to exposed shoulders to avoid the fashion-girl take on the dreaded farmer’s tan, but skip body lotions and oils that can cause your strapless bra or swimwear to slide down.

With a silhouette this statement-making, bold accessories help balance out your major look-at-me moment! Don't be understated this time—go big or go home with earrings like oversized hoops, colorful dusters that frame the face while teasingly sweeping bare shoulders.

Break All the Rules this Spring Break, Just Don't Forget to Pack these Essentials

Spring Break season is upon us. If you have not prepared your get-away wardrobe, NOW is the time.

Anything can happen during a Spring Break trip so pack accordingly. Here is our list of getaway must-takes:

Swimwear

Despi Lolita Kiss

Be a beach babe in an itsy-bitsy bikini or a sexy cut out one piece. Pack at least 3 swimsuits because you will be wearing them everyday, you don't want to get bored and switching swimsuits will give you better tan lines. It is also a great idea to bring a variety of styles: a classic swimsuit and a flirty, fun swimsuit so you can dress to suit your mood. You should also bring at least one glam, dramatic bikini so you are prepared for a beach or pool party.

Cute Cover-ups

Hale Bob Red Beaded V-Neck Tunic

The fabulous thing about Spring Break is that there are some days you don't even need to dress, you can go from poolside to dinner by simply slipping on a chic cover-up. Pack one or two cute cover-ups to wear while you are away from the water.

Sizzling Shades

RYGY Sunglasses

Bring your favorite pair of sunglasses. If you are coming from a cooler climate and in the midst of a gloomy winter you may have forgotten how bright the beautiful sun can be. Don't forget to pack those shades to protect your eyes.

Beach Ready Sandals

Mystique Silver Beaded Thong

A jeweled flat sandal can be rocked on the beach as well as the street and adds oomph to any outfit.

Sunblock

We all love a golden tan but NO ONE likes a sunburn and its just not healthy. Don't skimp on sunblock.  Even if you are dying to tan fast, it never turns out pretty.

Easy Daywear

LSpace Rucci Pant Jumper

If you must come out of that bikini make sure you have some comfortable outfits to wear about during the day. You are on vacation so take advantage and keep it casual.

Knockout dresses for the night

Sofia By Vix Ruffle Dress

No Spring Break is complete without ample partying!!! Pack your most fun mini-dresses, flowy maxi dresses and sexy heels. Don't be afraid to expose a little skin and show off that tan.

We hope your Spring Break is full of major memories. We have 250+ sexy swimsuits on All Wet Beachwear. Browse our website and we know you will find a knockout swimsuit for Spring Break 2011.

How to shop for swimwear online

There is one item of clothing that strikes fear into the hearts of women: the swimsuit. Pinching Lycra, unflattering styles, the propensity for wedgies and wardrobe malfunctions, it is a never-ending struggle to find the right one. But thanks to the Internet we have more choices than ever. You can find high quality swimwear in numerous styles and cuts from all over the world with just the click of a mouse. 

 

     Luli Fama Bikini                        L*Space Sunkissed Bandeau

Online we all have access to beautiful swimsuits at the best price yet some shoppers have yet to buy for swimwear from the web.  Despite the convenience and options the Internet brings they continue to shop for beachwear at the mall, they say the need to try the products in person. What they don’t realize is that the best place to try on swimwear is in the comfort of your own home. 

Avoiding the dressing room

There is nothing more unflattering and unnatural than the harsh florescent lights of a department store dressing room. Bad lighting can send even women with the slimmest figures home with a serious case of the blahs. You will have better results at home, trying your swimwear on under more natural lighting and in front of the mirrors you trust. 

Time to decide

Rather than cramming your bikini buying into one short visit to the mall, keep the piece for a day. If you try on your swimwear in the AM before breakfast vs. PM after dinner, you might see a different result.

Year-round Availability

Online stores can bring you the most up-to-date styles year round. Swimwear has a limited shelf life in retail stores and is typically on the racks from just before Spring Break until mid-summer. So if you have booked a winter cruise your best bet is to find your cruise and resort wear online.

Feedback 

You can always try several different styles and return the ones you don’t want. You can ask your hubby which is his favorite. It will be a lot easier to walk in front of the TV in your bikini to get his feedback than it is to drag him to the mall for an opinion (and as an added bonus it could set off some fireworks :-).

Sizing

On websites like All Wet Beachwear you can see multiple views of the products and access sizing charts to get measurements of the pieces.  In designer brands such as Vix, L*Space and Beach Bunny, swimwear tops typically coordinate with bra size, 32A - 34A is a small, 34 - 36B is usually a medium and 32D - 34C large. Smaller busts can benefit from ruffles and other details that add dimension. Fuller busts require more support, underwire tops or those with adjustable cups work best. Likewise bottoms match with pant size, sizes 0 - 2 take an XS, sizes 2 - 4 take a medium and 6 - 8 take a large. String bottoms are genius because you can adjust the waist using the tie sides. Especially curvy bottoms look great in hipster cuts and boy shorts.

Shopping for swimwear online can be summed up in an easy 3 step process. Step 1, get an idea of fit and narrow down your favorites. Two, once you find one you love, order it and try in the comfort of your own home, avoiding the panic-inducing department store dressing room. 

And three, enlist family and friends for feedback and find the swimsuit you feel your best in.  If you need an expert’s help in your selection, contact AWB customer service for assistance from a personal shopper.
