Ladies,
Time to toss last year's ratty tankini and upgrade your swimsuit. Memorial Day is mere weeks away -- are you ready?
The 2006 swim wear styles and trends are so figure-flattering, feminine, sexy and downright beautiful you'll want to work the pieces into the rest of your summer wardrobe.
From sheer, exotic, designer swimwear to traditional one piece, from paisley prints to sexy crochet, and from DD bikinis to slimming skirts for your derriere, we found women's swimwear to suit all shapes and sizes.
Behold: SheFinds' Editors' guide to the best of ladies swimwear.
Love,
SheFinds
P. S. With heat comes humidity - tame that frizzy hair with our product picks.
.: Warm Browns and Hot Pinks
Forget about black and pale pastels in ladies 2006 swimwear trends. Rich chocolates and bright pinks flatter tan and paler complexions alike.
While Aubade's chocolate Annee plunge bikini with gemstones begs for a big straw hat and cocktails on a yacht, La Blanca's Smock It To Me halter tankini can practically take you from diving in the pool to driving kids in carpool.
We love how BCBG's  Max Azria hot pink cutout suit looks like a bikini from the back but conveniently covers our lower tummy. Sexy but safe.
La Perla's Rami bikini is a modern update on the classic bikini; it fits and flatters most figures. All hail the halter - whether you've got a flat or full bust, this style is your friend.

.: Pretty in Paisley
Paisley is no longer for the preppy. It looks sweet in pastel colors and exotic in deeper shades. Sexy swimwear has a new look this year.
Zimmerman's Sugar Paisley bikini has all the right stuff: a generous halter top with ample support, oh-so-flattering, dangling ties at the hip - all in a perfect, universally flattering shade of pink.
Channel your inner temptress with Lisa Curran's exotic, taunting two-piece paisley bikini and bottoms. We love the beads on the hip ties and the sliding triangle top that lets us reveal a little or a lot.
Xhilaration's coral brown Paisley Swim Top is both cute and comfy and it's only $14.99.
Part bandeau, part camisole, designer Vix's beautiful Arte bandini top creates a sexy silhouette without revealing too much. It also offers a nice amount of support. The slightly retro print is one of our favorites.

.: Not Your Grandmother's Crochet
Crochet swim wear... There is just something so sexy, so sheer and so earthy about crochet. Anyone can wear this romantic laciness and glow.
Aguaclara's black Desert Spa Crochet One-Piece is one of the sexiest suits we've seen. It's easy to wear because you're actually covered where it counts.
La Blanca's white Rod Beattie Triangle Top bikinis with crochet overlay is the best of the bunch that we've seen. The beading at the bust is beautiful and we love the sweet skirted bottom .
La Blanca's chocolate brown Hey hippie chic crochet halter cup tankini has a flattering deep V neckline and removable pads. Delicate beading beneath the bust makes us want to wear it underneath a white button-down tied at the waist with jeans.

.: Peek-a-Boo Cutouts
Sexy swim wear -- how sexy is up to you. Flaunt only what you want in these strategically revealing cutout suits. It's worth the funky tan lines.
Michael Kors stays true to elegance with sleek, simple black Cutaway Swimsuit . Dare to bare in Stephanie Hoos' sexy cut-out collection. Juicy Couture does a Beach Metallic Maillot as well as their signature terry cloth and jeans. Gottex Silver's Magic cut out one-piece has some dramatic lines and color contrast.
|
.: Chic Coverups
A fabulous one piece cover-up in summer is as important as the perfect parka in winter.
Get creative with Fabucci's All-in-one halter. It can go from a mini-dress to a swimsuit in one swift twist. As seen on the Desperate Housewives cover of Vanity Fair.
Endlessly wearable, this turquoise Gold-Embroidered Tunic from Lisa Curran is not too sheer to go from the beach to brunch.
Dotti's Swim Cover-Up's perfection is in the details: flared sleeves, crochet trim and the perfect beachy fabric at great price.
|
.: Figure-Fixers and Flatterers
Fashion technology has revolutionized fit and fabric to create swimsuits suitable for all body types. Whether you're trying to slim down thighs or cover-up a full bust, there is a swimsuit solution for you.
Elegant and elongating, the MagicSuit Trapezoid tank promises you'll look like you've lost 7 pounds in 7 seconds. Choose from tankinis, two-pieces and sleek maillots.
If you want to step out in a chic swimsuit but want to minimize your derriere, try this Anne Klein Hipster Skirt .
Strictly designed for busts from 30D to 40E, Freya Swim makes sassy, sensible mix and match pieces with smart bra-like features. The Onyx underwire balcony bikini top is supportive and shapely with a silver charm between the cups. Match it with the very cute Onyx short. The Storm-In-a-D-Cup Capri Lemon halter tie back offers a splash of color for those with busts 30C to 38DD. For D/DD cups, we also like Moontide's reversible separates in great color combinations like chocolate brown and turquoise.
