Essential Beachwear looks for 2010

By: Wilber Gjokaj

With the weather hotting up, our thoughts are turning away from bulky winter coats and towards fashion''s more revealing side. Yes, it''s summer once again ? and that means the start of swimwear season.

There''s just one top contender for the swimwear fashion crown this season, and that is the classic one piece. That''s right, bikinis have lost their allure and instead fashionistas types are touting cossies worthy of the most glamorous Bond heroine.

This alluring new fashion was first introduced at the Miami Fashion Week, where one pieces undoubtedly stole the show. Shapes ranged from vintage to downright bizarre, with many designers getting creative with cutouts. Ed Hardy''s Spring/ Summer swimwear collection set the tone, showcasing hot swimsuits reminiscent of tattoo designs.

So, how do you look great while wearing a one piece? To keep your look up to date, the key is to avoid traditional lines and go for experimental designs: look for crossovers, cut-outs and off the shoulder pieces. Colours at Miami Fashion Week ranged from classic black to garish reds, and cute florals, geometric prints and animal print designs were all very much in evidence.

If the one piece trend leaves you cold, then the good news is that bikinis still have a place on the catwalk for this season ? just in a dramatically altered form. Traditional shapes are out, replaced by one-shouldered designs. Designers such as Marios Schwab combined the one-shouldered and cutaway trends, while Gottex cheated with a halter neck design. Want to know the official name for this style? It''s ''monokini''.

Whether you''re a bikini or a one-piece girl, the key to getting this season''s look is to think ''glamour'' all the way. If you''re keen to work the 2010 trend, combine your favourite piece of swimwear with poolside accessories ? specifically something sheer. The sheer look is seriously hot for this summer, appearing at both Gottex and Max Azria.

To make sheer work for you, match your one piece or bikini with a floating slip or cutaway dress. Just a small addition can transform even the most ordinary swimsuit into something cutting edge and rather spectacular. Great if you''re intending to keep last year''s costume but still want to stay in style.

When it comes to sheer colour, gold is the new black. If it doesn''t sparkle, then don''t buy it.
