Hot monokini swimsuits Looks to Look For This Summer

Every summer brings on a wave of hot monokini swimsuits trends, and this year is no different. Keep your eye out for these five hot swimwear trends for this summer.

Bandeau Tops

An awesome alternative to the typical triangle bikini top, bandeaus offer more coverage without skimping on the sexy. If you've got great shoulders and a sexy back, but would rather not have all attention focused on your cleavage, the bandeau is the stylish monokini swimsuit top you've been waiting for. The straight-cross lines of a bandeau top, whether on a two-piece swimsuit or on a traditional maillot one-piece style, are ideal for minimizing a full bust. One of the absolute hottest looks is a trendy update on the tankini-the bandini, which combines the long, slim lines of a tank top with a shoulder-baring bandeau top. Pair it with a skimpy bikini bottom for a look that's daringly sexy and sweet at the same time.

One Shoulder Tops

If you thought bare shoulders were sexy, wait till you see the stares you get when you only bare one. One-shoulder swimsuit 2011 monokini, bikinis and maillot styles-have a subtly sophisticated fashion sense that makes people sit up and take notice. The most dramatic one-shoulder swimwear styles carry on their asymmetrical design with a splash of print on the opposite hip Whether it's a tiny string tie on one shoulder or a more sophisticated shoulder style, you'll see women all over the beaches baring just one shoulder.

Flirty Ruffles

Ruffles make a comeback every few years, and it looks like this is the year. Solid color bikini bottoms flirt with tiny printed ruffles that are just long enough to be curve over your curves. Loose ruffles add sophistication-and some camouflage-to deep V-necked maillots. Ruffles pop up in the most surprising locations: along one side, right down the center or wrapped around one high-cut thigh top and make a strong fashion statement.

Boy Short Bikinis

If you've been avoiding bikinis because your bottom bottoms out, this is the year for you to break out. Boy short style bikini bottoms put the emphasis up top with sexy, low-cut hipsters. They're a little more modest than the high-cut bikini bottoms featured most years, and a whole lot more modest than a string, but they have a sporty sex appeal that neither style can match. Pair them with a traditional bikini top for a daring sex kitten look, or with a tankini or bandini top to play up the sweet, sporty you.

Cutouts

Cutouts take center stage on the beach this summer, embellishing just about every bikinis 2011 style you can imagine. Modest maillots go hardcore sexy with full back cutouts that leave your back bare from shoulder blades to hips. From curvy cuts that emphasize your waistline to chunky chopped squares that feature goth appeal to an amazingly intricate starburst front cutout that will make tan lines a major challenge, the 2011 swimwear lines are all about baring your skin in some of the most unusual places and ways.
