Summer Swimwear Prints

All season long, I’ve seen (almost at nauseum) prints and neon, prints and neon;  or color-block and stripes, stripes and color-block!  AND in every category, from head-to-toe-to-handbag (though, I never tire of stripes).  Even so, there’s one last grouping before pre-Fall begins to hit retail — swimwear!

Last year, I liked striped, chevron and ikat suits and recall that the one-shoulder look was a strong trend across Tops and Dresses.  This year, I’m into the nautical and graphic one-pieces, and may even break my own rule and delve into florals.
