Womens Trend: The PERFECT Bikini.

Ok so technically “The Perfect Bikini” is not a trend but hear me out…..I have recently set my sights on the perfect KIND of bikini and this is a trend we’re seeing emerging majorly.

The over the shoulder triangle top.

This style of bikini is perfect for it’s functionality and it’s stylish form. Over the should triangle bikini’s leave you minus the dreaded halter tie strap marks we all try so endlessly to avoid. No more having to awkwardly tie your halter straps behind your back and no more accidentally exposing a little too much at your local beach! The form is also extremely flattering and a modern twist on a classic shape that offers full functionality and support.

Or in blue here.

ITEMS OF THE WEEK: Let’s get tropical.

It’s not news that prints are all the rage this season, but what we’re totally loving this week is the tropical print. Get channeling that Hawaiian holiday with vibes of ocean blues, green hills and palm trees with bright pops of colour and splatters of print. Reminisce about the days laying under a palm tree sipping coconuts while you embody the essence of summer in this week’s item of the week.

Ladies, can we get a round of applause for…

The Camilla and Marc Frankie One piece- Art Deco Print – $220.00

Say aloha to exotic florals in this Camilla and Marc one piece. Perfect for that glamorous holiday feel, whether your relaxing poolside and wearing it on its own or paring it with some denim shorts, sandals and gold bangles for a festival favourite. This piece screams summer, and with the strapless under wire cups and cut out detailing in the back it reveals a bit of that summer glow in all the right places.

Gentleman, can we get a round of applause for…

The Volcom Mental Fun Beach Short- Black Print – $59.99

Gents, it’s time to hula in these Volcom fun beach shorts and with palm trees and hula dancing silhouettes, these shorts couldn’t be more tropical if they tried. Wear them on their own as you play a game of afternoon beach footy with the boys and throw on a casual button up to seamlessly transition into a late night BBQ and beers.

TRENDING: Teeny Weeny Printed Bikinis!

We’ve guided, we’ve obsessed, we’ve browsed and we’ve bought, but a girl can never have too many bikinis, and a girl can never ignore a trend like this! I know we’ve raved as prints have been splashed all over summer collections, left right and centre – but the bikini is our absolute favourite summer staple for this loud statement trend.

From tribal print to floral patterns to neon colour blocking, coloured prints on bikinis have us obsessed. Reminiscent of poolside cocktails, coloured kaftans and mid afternoon lunches in a tropical place, printed bikinis have rocked this trend all summer long and SurfStitch is all over it – stocking labels such as Shakuhachi, Tigerlily, Anna and Boy, Camilla and Marc and Zimmermann, who have all featured the teeny weeny printed bikini throughout their summer 2012 lines! Don’t forget – show off what you’ve got with a style that flatters you! Bandeau styles and fuller cups have been showing up, but there’s nothing wrong with the good old triangle bikini. It’s summer, so show off that tan and enjoy the sunshine (don’t forget your SPF)!
