Calvin Klein’s Sexy Swimwear For Everybody
This summer’s swimsuit fashions exude confidence and a sexy body, and for those that don’t have either of the two above ingredients, you will once jump into one of the many slimming bust building and overall sexy styles.
Even one-piece swimwear suits have been updated to include strategic cuts that are guaranteed to be nothing like what your grandmother would have ever worn.
From skimpy bikinis to monokinis to playful boy shorts and bandeau’s, just about everybody will get some attention at the beach this summer if they head out to purchase a new summer suit.
For those that want a special touch, Calvin Klein has great minimalistic choices to help you show off both of your best assets: your body and your self confidence.
Plus, the designer Klein line also has you covered with every and any accessory that you may need to complete your day at the beach including cover-ups, pareos, bags, and fabulous sunglasses that will place you right on par with Fergie.
One thing that is appealing about the Klein line this year is that it is not so much about bling-bling or barely-there choices; instead the line is mostly current but minimalistic letting your body lends its shape and touch to most of the line.
Even better, curvy is in this year as most of the models are a bit thicker for the Klein line giving normal people a chance at looking great as they should.
Additionally, as always the Calvin Klein swimwear is made at the same high quality of every piece of clothing on the line, so you know you are getting a product that will be around for some time.
Summer Trends Go Retro
Fashion trends this spring and now through the summer have an undeniably nostalgic feel about them. That is not to say that there are no fresh styles this season, but there seems to be a definite emphasis on everything retro.
Playful and colourful are two words that capture the essence of this year’s summer collections. The hottest trends this season seem to be partial to vivid colors, particularly blood-red, which conveys striking images of passion and love.
Another color that has found favor with the designers this season is purple, a remnant from last winter. Some designers though, have stuck to the classic spring colors of light green, sky blue, and grey.
As the summer progresses, it would not be a surprise to see colours like gold, yellow and orange creep into the mainstream collections. Of course, gold is a color that is more suited for accessories rather than apparel. Finally, just for the sake of completeness, we must not leave out white, black and brown, which are really colors for all seasons and occasions and as such, feature prominently in this season’s fashion as well.
In the apparel department, jewel encrusted clothes are the surprise trend this season. With a strong feminine aspect dominating much of the fashion this year, shorts and pants are notable absentees from the ramp. A popular motif for the season is African and Native American flora and folk art.
Whether or not you like it, ripped jeans seem to be making a comeback this year. If you remember, they came back a bit last year, and are coming back even further this year. This time round it is not only ripped jeans, but almost anything made of denim can be ripped freely and worn fashionably!
Audrey Hepburn Still Setting Trends Today
Audrey Hepburn might have passed away a long time ago, but her legacy lives on, particularly in the fashion industry. She was not only a legendary actress, but also a fashion icon.
The simple grace and elegance of her manners made her one of the most beloved Hollywood leading ladies and also one of the greatest influences on fashion designers around the world.
Who can forget the trend setting over-sized sunglasses, the little black dresses, the colorful Capri pants and the flat ballet shoes that Audrey wore in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s? In fact, the sunglasses became so popular that wire frames, which were in vogue when the movie came out, became virtually extinct within a few years. And the black dress of course is a staple of any wardrobe, even today.
Audrey was also a trend setter in jewellery and makeup. She is famous for bringing pearls into the mainstream of fashion accessories. They say that fashion is a cycle, but it is hard to think of a time when her little black dress and pearls have ever been out of fashion.
Interestingly, the movie that started so many fashion trends was originally written to star not Audrey Hepburn, but Marilyn Monroe.
Unlike the curvaceous Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall, Audrey had a gorgeous, tall and elegant figure that fashion designers loved to dress up. She was always partial to simple and graceful cuts, turtle necks and trench coats, while staying away from bold prints and bright colors.
When it came to accessories, Audrey had a preference for colored scarves and wide belts – a trend that persists to this day and is as fresh as ever.
