With winter’s chill lingering in the air, it may seem like long, lazy days at the beach are too far off to contemplate. But think again! Swimsuit brands like Becca Swimwear are livening up the doldrums of winter, and getting us thinking about spring and summer break. Check out Becca’s top swimsuit trends of 2013!

1) Stripes

For slender women who want to enhance their curves, the South Of The Border Push Up Bikini brings some serious va va voom.  Alternating diagonal and horizontal stripes add a flattering shapeliness to a slim figure, and the convertible bottom allows you to style this sassy bikini in a variety of ways. For an even sexier take on stripes, slip into the Defining Moment Bikini. This soft, lingerie-inspired swimsuit alternates emerald or fuchsia stripes with neutral sand-colored ones for a look that emphasizes curves in a way that is both subtle and sultry.

2) Tankinis

Tankinis and one-piece swimsuits have long been the refuge for women who want to camouflage stretchmark’s or a too-rounded tummy. But though they’re practical, these styles can often lack sex appeal. Sheer details help the Taj Mahal Tankini and the Taj Mahal One-Piece avoid that pitfall beautifully. The peekaboo lace covers up problem areas, while giving alluring glimpses of skin guaranteed to make the wearer feel sexy, not staid. The handkerchief hem on the tankini and the tie-back detail on the one-piece add visual interest, while the rich hues lend elegance to these stylish suits. Never has something so flattering felt so fashion-forward.

3) Prints

Women sometimes shy away from prints, believing them to be unflattering. However, small, monochromatic prints like the one used on the Tanzania Bikini can slim down a fuller figure, especially when paired with detailed draping. Or, if you want to add curviness to a more slender build, you should gravitate instead to a larger print with more varied coloration, like the one used in the Tangier Bikini. The hipster bottom and bustier-style top coupled with this pattern can make even the slimmest girl look like a voluptuous pinup.

4) Push-Ups

Push-up style tops are an incredibly flattering style, no matter your bust size. Less curvy girls can get a boost from a push-up top like the simple yet sexy Tanzania Solid Push Up Bikini, while the more generously endowed can get gravity-defying support from the charmingly-detailed Network Bikini.

5) Cover-Ups

These arrays of swimsuits are so attractive you may hesitate to cover them up. Luckily, when it’s time for lunch or a stroll, you can slip into a cover-up that is just as enticing. The peekaboo detail on the Tanzania Tunic Cover Up oozes sex appeal, while the flowing fabric of the Tangier Cover Up Tunic evokes elegance.

The halcyon days of summer may still be far off, but it’s never too soon to start getting ready for bathing suit season. And with an assortment of sexy swimsuits in myriad styles and colors, you’re bound to find the suit that’s right for you. Be sure to snap up the style that works right for you.
