2012 Hottest Swimwear Trends

This year we are looking forward to soaking up the sun in the most irresistible swimsuit. Check out a couple of the hottest swimwear trends of 2012:

Prints
Tropical, floral, animal, tribal, you name it. We are loving printed swimsuits. They are so playful and fun! With prints having made a return every Spring/Summer, you can expect to find just about every print you can imagine.

Vintage-inspired
Swimsuits with a vintage touch incorporate high-waisted bottoms, polka-dots, full coverage tops, and halter straps designed to flatter any woman's body. We will definitely be seeing more high-waisted bottoms with a modern twist around.

Strappy
For a sexy look, consider us crazy about strappy swimsuits. Strappy tops and especially strappy bottoms are on our wish list! To tone it down, try either a strappy top or strappy bottom.

Fringe
The Native American trend has reinvented the love of fringe. Fringe tops and bottoms create a very bohemain, hippie look. Try an aqua or orange fringe swimsuit and don't forget about some accessories!

Cutouts
Subtle or not so subtle, we can't wait to get our hands on swimsuits with cutouts! What we adore about cutout swimsuits is that they are so rad and atypical. There's just something about cutouts.

One Piece
One pieces are back and even better designed in many different styles, fabrics, and colors! Although providing more coverage than two pieces, one pieces are still very flirty and promising. While they aren't the best to wear when getting your tan on, they are perfect for pool parties.

Lingerie-inspired
Last year we got a glimpse of lingerie-inspired swimsuits. You know, the swimsuits that seriously look like lingerie wrapped in lace. If this look is too daring, try a printed, lingerie-inspired swimsuit.
