A tankini is a great way to look at your best under the sun. With a lot of styles and designs, you’ll fall in love with them in an instant. Wearing tankinis also gives you a different level of comfort, and the best thing about it is that you can also mix and match them depending on what styles you want to achieve.

Many women can sure rock tankinis, and plus-sized women can truly benefit from wearing them. It is becoming a popular swimwear choice, and we sure can’t get enough of them. Now that summer is just a couple of months away, it’s time to get yourself a tankini in different styles, colours, and designs!

Body types play a huge role in buying the correct swim outfit. You just have to know what swimsuit complements your figure, and you’re all set! So drop that fear of the swimsuit, and be informed.

Women who don’t have washboard abs can choose a suit that provides more detailed designs on your chest, so that the attention will not be focused on the stomach area. Choose two-toned colours with the lighter on the chest area and the darker on the bottom.

Large prints can conceal wide hips, on the other hand, women with small hips can benefit from horizontal stripes. Boy shorts look great on women with smaller hips, and spaghetti strapped bikinis/bandeaus should be avoided by top-heavy women. Instead, choose a v- necked swimwear because it lengthens your figure.

Hope these tips helped as you get ready for summer!

One can never resist the surf, the sun, and the sand’s call, as the heat is on the rise– what better way to welcome it than by wearing a tankini!

Fashionable swimwear is everywhere, and a tankini is one way to look beautiful as you hit the beach during the summer. It is a cross between a bikini and a one-piece swimsuit, carefully designed to hide those unflattering parts of the body, while still making you feel and look sexy.

Mostly made out of cotton, spandex, Lycra, and Nylon, it provides the best comfort during those long hauls of soaking under the sun and strolling by the beach. Designs are aplenty– Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, and even Calvin Klein had their hands full on designing tankinis and adding them to their collection, due to heavy demand.

As summer draws near, it’s time to have some fun under the sun by wearing a tankini!

Imagine bodies totally ready for the summer heat, all up and about in catchy and sexy swimsuits. A trip to the beach is not complete without them– so make sure you’ll stand out by wearing a swimsuit that is trendy, hip, cool, and comfortable.

You’ll be glad to know that swimsuits come in all designs and styles. Florals, stripes, or checks? No problem. One-piece or two-piece? Your call. You’d be able to find one that fits your personality to a T.

So be confident, choose perfect swimsuits that will make you stand out from the crowd, and get ready to strut your stuff when summer hits the waves!

Earlier in the week, the former model and now mom, didn’t hesitate in stripping down to showcase her skimpy lingerie collection. However, Price appeared to be feeling a little shy today as she continued to promote the range as well as her lingerie line at Store Twenty One in Worthing.

According to reports, the reality star remained covered up in a T-shirt that flashed only a hint of midriff and jeans at the in-store appearance, opting instead to pose for pictures simply holding a few of her designs. She wore ripped jeans and trainers. Despite her being all covered up, the 33 year old still saw a lot of fans lining up for a glimpse of her.

Price tweeted her excitement about the successful day, writing: ‘Wow what an amazing turnout!!! thank you everyone who waited for me at my katie boutique signing @storetwentyone xxxx

She added later: ‘Soo many messages! i really appreciate you taking your time to pop by so thank you worthing! and looking forward to milton keynes tomorrow!’ (sic)

Forty two year old model Rachel Hunter, who used to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated wearing only swimsuits and bikinis, was seen flaunting her figure during a beach getaway. She was joined by friends and family including her daughter with former husband Rod Stewart, Renee Stewart.

Rachel Hunter used to grace Sports Illustrated covers in the 1990’s.

Making the most of the heat, the New Zealand-born star turned out wearing a dusky coloured two piece. Rachel Hunter ran along the sand and laughed as she practised her paddle boarding skills with her daughter Renee.

She initially wore an O’Neill wetsuit before she showed off her curves in a bikini.

Later on, photographers saw her changing into some beige shorts, similarly pulling them up to hide her tummy.

The party Rachel Hunter attended also saw the attendance of fellow model Heidi Klum, who recently separated from husband, singer Seal. Brooke Mueller, the former wife of Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen, was also there at the party. Mueller has had quite the recent years. She recently finished a stint in rehab.

The two bikini wearing Hollywood actresses that started the “ruckus” were Naomi Watts and Robin Wright. The two ladies stripped down to their bikinis at a beach in Sydney, Australia. The two actresses were filming an upcoming movie about two ladies who fell for each other’s sons.

Forty three year old Naomi Watts wore a one piece bikini swimwear while 45 year old Robin Wright, former wife of Sean Penn, wore a two piece bikini as they soaked up the sunshine at the Australian beach.

The two are currently shooting “The Grandmothers,” which talks of two childhood friends who end up falling for the other one’s son.

The film director is Anna Fontaine, who is also known for her work for the much talked about movie Coco Before Chanel.

Meanwhile, the two “sons” who started the so-called “brawl” are Xavier Samuel, who plays Riley Biers in The Twilight Saga, and Animal Kingdom star James Frecheville.

The crew have been spied filming at Shelley Beach near Forster, before moving to the isolated Seal Rocks, with the relaxed female leads wearing summer dresses and stylish trilby sun hats.

Watts is married to fellow Hollywood actor Liev Schreiber. They have two sons – four year old Sasha and three year old Sammy. Watts’ family visited her on set in Australia just recently.

The movie “The Grandmothers” is due for release in 2013.

Lo and behold, there now are bikinis that are set to target those that have thicker waistlines. A growing number of bikini manufacturers have woken up to Brazil’s thickening waistline and are reaching out to the ever-expanding ranks of heavy women with new plus-size swimwear.

“It used to be bikinis were only in tiny sizes that only skinny girls could fit into. But not everyone is built like a model,” said Elisangela Inez Soares, who is one of Brazil’s many bikini clad ladies.

“Finally, it seems like people are beginning to realize that we’re not all Gisele,” said the 38-year-old mother of four, referring to willowy Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Presenting the bikinis made by clothing designer Clarice Rebelatto. Rebelato is the founder of Lehona, an exclusively plus-size beachwear line.

“Honestly, the problem went way beyond just bikinis. In Brazil, it used to be that if you were even a little chunky, finding any kind of clothes in the right size was a real problem,” said Rebelatto, herself a size 10.

“And I thought, ‘I’m actually not even that big compared to a lot of women out there, so if I have problems, what are they doing?’” Since its launch in 2010, the bikini line has become a hit.

“We’re working from the principle that bigger women are just like everyone else: They don’t want to look like old ladies, wearing these very modest, very covering swimsuits in just black,” said Luiz Rebelatto, Clarice’s son and director of Lehona.

Candice Swanepoel

The 23 year old supermodel was spotted by paparazzi while modeling frilly swimsuits, metallic swimsuits and even a crochet cover-all.

Swanepoel, a 5 foot 9 supermodel with vital statistics 33-23-34, even wore a belly chain when she modelled a few swimsuits.

The swimsuit model also posed lying down on the sand and even struck a pose where she looked as if she was undergoing yoga.

Swanepoel attracted attention from the media and fashion pundits last year when she supposedly appeared frighteningly thin. The swimsuit model, however, insisted that she was happy and healthy. She did, however, say that she had difficulty maintaining a healthy weight because of the rigorous and hectic lifestyle of a top model.

“I’ve been travelling around like crazy. I get skinnier if I’m very busy,” she told ABC News during the last New York fashion week.

“I am healthy and happy,” she said. Swanepoel joins the other models under Victoria’s Secret namely Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo and Gracie Carvalho.

The said Victoria’s Secret swimsuit models each took their turn in front of the camera earlier this week, splashing in the waves as they modelled two pieces for the brand.

Meanwhile, Swanepoel shared that she was touched by the concern of many people over allegations of her weight problem.

“I’m heartened to know how much everyone cares about me, but in this case, everything is normal and good.”

The partnership will also coincide with a Gilt sale, which includes swimsuits, surfboards, photographs and event tickets to consumers. All of the proceeds of the sale will be donated to The Nature Conservancy to preserve the beaches Sports Illustrated features in its pages.

The Gilt sale will also mean that Sports Illustrated will not make immediate money from purchased goods but its swimsuit issue will gain exposure. The exposure supposedly will come via in-sale messaging on the Gilt site. The sale, which will be advertised in-book in a special section, kicks off on February 14; the same day the Swimsuit edition hits newsstands.

Meanwhile, Quiksilver will provide a set of two surfboards for sale, and staff from Sports Illustrated collated a list of over 100 designers whose bathing suits are seen in the Swimsuit issue.

Sports Illustrated senior editor MJ Day said that 10 designers were invited to showcase their products and were also asked to donate the same.

“We have 26 million female readers, with a 70/30 [male/female] percent readership. Like SI, Gilt has a vast audience of both men and women,” says Day.

?“We thought it would be a perfect alignment between our two brands. Women read our magazine for the fashion, accessories and vacation ideas. Men read it for the more obvious reasons.”
