Ten Fashionable Bikinis for Summer 2010

So with sunbathing season just a few months away, it is time to start thinking about what will be fashionable in the world of swimwear this summer. If you're feeling a little clueless, fear not, because here are Simply Beach's top ten bikinis for Summer 2010…

One of the biggest trends in the fashion word for spring and summer this year is floral prints and this is also true when it comes to bikinis. Floral print bikinis are set to be really fashionable this season and there are lots out there from which to choose. If you are a particularly feminine lady with a preference for delicate florals then the Parse iapo Ilima Bikini is a perfect choice with its soft patterned fabric and cute tie details. For something a little bolder, the Ginja Vintage top Krista 70s Bandeau is ideal, as it has a punchier, brighter floral print that will look great against tanned skin. For those who would like floral bikini that is bright and colourful, the Speedo Salsa bikini may be the ideal option. Not only is the floral print really vibrant and cheery, the unusual cross-over halter-neck bikini top design is sure to get heads turning.

As well as floral prints, the nautical look is also set to be hugely fashionable this summer. The Seafolly Capri Halter bikini is a perfect way to channel this trend, with is mixture of narrow and wide blue and white stripes. This bikini also has removable cups and convertible straps, making it versatile as well as on trend. Whilst the Seafolly bikini is a subtle nod to the nautical trend, the Lepel Promenade Stripe bandeau bikini is a delightfully full-on incarnation of the nautical look. With blue and white stripes, cute little buttons and tailored briefs, this bikini is sure to catch every sailor's eye!

Not only is 1950s tailoring always very flattering, but it is also hugely fashionable this season and for that reason you are unlikely to o far wrong with a 50s inspired bikini. The Seafolly Viva Mini tube top and hipster briefs are delightfully 50s with their polka dots and cheeky frills and will have you looking like a pin-up in no time. The Panacha Monroe Bandeau polka dot bikini top and matching briefs are also full of 50s glamour and even channel the nautical theme with a colour scheme of red, white and blue. As well as polka dots, ruffles and frills are a great way of embracing the 50s look and for this the Seafolly Frill Me ruffle bikini is absolutely perfect.

Keeping things sleek, stylish and simple is also hot this Summer, so look out for one-colour bikinis with clever cuts and simple details. The Ginja Platinum Grecian bikini is delightfully simple, yet the beautiful amethyst colour and platinum beaded strap detail will have you looking like a goddess whilst lying on the beach. Similarly, the Seafolly goddess bandeau top and tie side briefs are sleek and stylish, with little in the way of embellishment but lots in the way of clever design and structuring. This bikini also comes in a fabulously on-trend deep ish-grey colour, so you cannot really go wrong!
