Guest Post: The Fringe from InStyle Swimwear

Let's face it...I'm a LOVER of fringe and I can tell many others are because it's everywhere for now on handbags, jackets and more.  Plus, we'll see more in the spring from a statement accessory to a fringed top.  I say when you are down to just wearing a swim suit as a fashionista you still need to bring some flair and these suits do just that...so, get ready for your holiday packing with some great tips and tricks from InStyle swimwear.

For 2012, it’s all about fun and fabulous fringe!  For all you fashionistas who are looking to score that chic bohemian beach vibe, you’ll love this season’s new fringe swimwear styles.  As with all trends, it’s best not to overdo it, but these gorgeous new styles will definitely have you looking like the belle of the beach.

If you’re a bikini-wearer, there are a number of new fringe swimwear tops that are innovative and just plain amazing.  L Space Swimwear is one brand that seems to have mastered the trend.  Not only do they have a best-selling fringe bandeau top, but for the 2012 season they have created a new halter top style as well.  Although both tops will look gorgeous on all women, they’re perfect for those with smaller busts, as the sassy fringe detail will help make you appear fuller up top!  Both fringe swimwear styles come in a variety of colors, such as iris, citrus, tiffany blue and classic black.  So for those on a budget, treat yourself to a new top and pair them with bottoms that you already own!

But if the thought of a bikini scares you, you’ll love the new 2012 fringe swimwear styles in one-piece silhouettes.  Designer brands like L Space Swimwear and Tori Praver know that not everyone feels comfortable in an itsy bitsy bikini, so they have come up with some sleek new one-pieces and monokinis that feature amazing coverage and style.  Their designs have sexy plunging necklines with chic fringe detail and will help emphasize the areas you love most about your body while providing you with substantial front coverage.

Finally, if you’re not bold enough to rock fringe swimwear but love its boho-chic look, don’t fret!  For 2012, look for tunics and dresses that can serve as swimsuit cover-ups or everyday-wear!  Brands such as PilyQ, Despi and L Space all feature gorgeous cover-up styles with fringe embellishments that will have you looking totally on-trend this season.

(****Sidenote: I LOVE this color!!!  Also LOVE the beading:)

This year, whether you’re bummin’ it at the local beach or partying it up at a Vegas pool party, be bold and rock the fringe swimwear trend!
