Slimming swimsuits trending

It’s been a while as shapewear and all sorts of slimming outfits were in the market and now it’s coming to the beaches, as slimming swimsuits are being designed by famous lingerie brands.

That may mean the level of style will rise, having in mind pretty low or mediocre standard of slimming bathing suits shops have in stock nowadays. Let’s agree, there’s nothing charming and outstanding in designs offered by let’s say Cyberswim’s Miraclesuit . They are classic, safe, true, but that’s all.

Also other brands do not offer much, except classic lines and colors, sometimes trying to bring in some details, but as they can’t handle them in one harmonious design, only small left overs are left. That satisfies majority, but what about those looking to stand out, be in line with overall style of clothing?

That’s why I salute brands like Scandale (French pioneer shapewear brand) to turn to beach fashion, with the upcoming collection titled Les Aquatiques of shaping swimwear range for Spring Summer 2013 season. The collection should be strong on material side also: it will be built on the latest textile technology, using Capri from Italian fabric supplier. It also “incorporates chlorine and lotion resistant properties, and an in-built ultraviolet protection”.

To compare designs by standard Miraclesuit and Scandale, see some examples below. I’m not saying that swimwear should look like lingerie, though the very subtle feeling of luxury and exquisiteness for sure might be transferred.

Pinup girl clothing: lingerie

Essentials of pinup girl clothing - lingerieBy definition, pin-up girl or “model” is a girl whose photos or paintings are pinned-up the wall for display. Because of many reasons, such as those pinup girls being glamour models, actresses or fashion models.

But you don’t care about definitions, you love the image of the pin-up girl and that’s enough to hunt for the look to fit you best. Best luck with that and don’t forget the essential detail – retro lingerie to go with your set. You wouldn’t want to miss that.

Now you wouldn’t want to go with some granny panties, so best is choosing something of modern appealing design, but with a touch of retro, something resembling style of 50′s. And that is pretty easy task, as so many of nowadays lingerie designers look back and get inspired and come up with the big selection of charming sets to your pin up girl clothing style.

There are number of lingerie brands offering styles those have resemblance to pinup girl style, just look at the selection of Agent Provocateur, Andres Sarda, La Perla, Myla and many others.

1. Go colorful, won’t miss

2. Be girlish. 

Still, pinup girl clothing style is about looking feminine in a way of  being a little princess to treat.

3. Don’t go cheap, add some style and sense of luxury if situation dictates 

Pinup girls were never cheap, rather glamour models, fashion models. Their undergarments had same level of style as their upper pin up clothing.

4. Be classy, no need for too much details or exposing your body too much.

A lingerie dress or body could be way more seducing than strings and transparent bras – don’t forget that and go confident with classy sets.

5. Avoid too much of vintage, add some modern contemporary feel.

Now you do like that vintage pinup girl clothing style, but let’s not forget it’s 21st century, nobody wants or needs to look outdated. If you have higher requirements for design, there are plenty of retro lingerie designers offering selection of some contemporary feel.

6. Nobody says you can’t be racy and provocative

If you feel comfortable about it – do it, show them what you’ve got with transparent pinup lingerie sets or even burlesque nipple tassels.

Nipple tassels might be purely of burlesque style, and might not fit with pinup dress, but who says they would not go nicely in more intimate environment? This pinup girl bra with opened up top might go without tassels and have more universal fit to any dress.

7. For outdoors, romantic flowery print and looseness will work if chosen well.

Sometimes there’s no need to restrain yourself and let it go freely. Pin up clothing is not about strict rules, it’s about looking iconic, outstanding.

8. Details for pin up clothing can be essential

Don’t forget details as hosiery for pin up girl style set. To attract attention to your legs, a more intense pattern could be chosen. As long as whole set is in harmony, should add a definite last dot to your killing pin-up looks.

New styles from Kardashian Kollection Intimates

Kardashians and Sears are pushing few new pieces of lingerie added to their collection this Spring. And you could tell they are progressing with their brand image, if you could never mind the cheesy zebra (!) print pieces they still have. I don’t know what’s exactly wrong with women loving animal print stuff, but I’d say it’s whorish at least.

But the ad, shot by Nick Saglimbeni saves the day – if Kardashians would continue walking the same path, they would win some brand believers and would shut the critics like me.
I mean just look at the ad from 2011 and the recent ad from 2012 below. Yes, they now look like photoshoped plastic dolls (just look at those cheeks, hips), yes, high heels+lingerie is ridiculous from the roots – but right now at least the ad represents exactly what kind of style they are selling. “Who’s the queen now?” instead of “maybe I can still be sexy?”.
