Looking Your Best In The Tropics With Red Carter & Betsey Johnson Bathing suits

Part of the fun of being a girl is dressing the part. And we have two favorite designers with new swimwear collections to help. Betsey Johnson Swimwear and Red Carter swimwear show us opposite ends of the spectrum in their 2010 collections: from Glamorous Coquette to The Rocker girl who knows how to work it.

Betsey Johnson Swimwear is a staple brand for every girly-girl. And when it comes to Betsey Johnson swimwear 2010, no one can top her. The details are lavish and exquisite. It's impossible feel like anything other than a pin-up princess in her suits. There is no other company out there to compare in quality and the attention to detail. Her name is synonymous with fun and flirty, and is constantly finding innovative way to combine the old with the new. Most importantly, her pieces are breathtakingly beautiful, and made to fit every body.

If you are in the market for a swimsuit that expresses simple, understated elegance, then please, look elsewhere. Betsey Johnson’s swimwear is a perfect extension of her clothing line: bold, outspoken, and unabashedly feminine. With collection names like “Patty Cakes” “Petal Pusher” and “At the Hop,” it is impossible to mistake each piece for anything other than a Johnson original. And while vintage accents are naturally, a huge portion of the design scheme, each design is thoroughly modern in its execution.

Even Betsey Johnson’s take on the black and white look, a dominant theme in 2010, is undeniably flirty. Tops and bottoms are fit with a lovely detailed called “Peek-a-bows,” which involve tiny keyhole cutouts and teeny-weeny bows. The ruffles on “Cheeky Peeky” bottoms up the sexy factor but maintain their perfect amount of coverage- enough to be modest, and enough to be sexy. These are details that are distinctly Betsey Johnson, and the fact they are always executed with the highest quality and attention to detail, is what makes her designs so easy to fall in love with.

If you are more in the mood to temper your inner coquette with a bit of a harder-edge, Betsey Johnson’s take on black and white offers a punk-edge, with trademark punk-inspired plaids, as well as devastatingly sexy cut-outs, keyholes, and a once-piece with a heart-stopping plunging back, crisscrossed by delicate whisper-thin straps. Striking the perfect balance between tough and sexy.

Edgy detailing prevailed in the 2010 Red Carter Collection. The highlights of this season's suits are geometric and zig-zag prints in bold colors and black and white . Solid blacks are linked with gold hardware and the collection also featured and impressive array of Beads and semi-precious stones, details one would not normally associate with Carter's typical clean-lines. This year, we even get a taste of the cutesy, when Red puts his fashion-forward take on ruffles and buttons, naturally executed in a very streamlined fashion.
