Wet n' Wild: Cut-Out One Pieces

FabSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 13:55:11 -0700

For these I want you to envision yourself poolside in Palm Springs or the Hamptons - somewhere cool, calm and collected - not so much wet n' wild as Rio!. I have really come to appreciate cut-out one pieces over the years. Yes, they may create some of the funkiest tan lines but they are so Bond girl! Also, they are nice tummy hiders! I have a DKNY one that is neon green one shoulder with a side cut out & it really stands out amongst the crowd. I prefer these Bond girl suits in graphic prints or solids - let the peekaboo skin speak for itself.

Fab Tip: Perfecting Racerbacks

If you've ever worn racerback tops, much like this Express Sexy Basics Racerback Tank ($17), then you know that they have a slight flaw. If they're cut too low, your bra ends up showing from the sides and back. Unless you want to pull a Carrie Bradshaw, I came up with a solution without sacrificing comfort.

To see how I solved this racerback issue, read more.

Bandeau bras, like this Damsel Seamless Bandeau ($8, originally $12), are fun but they provide no support, especially for bustier gals. So my advice is to wear your regular strapless bra underneath your racerback top, but then cover it up with a colorful bandeau bra. That way, the bandeau shows and not your bra. It's a win-win: you get support and pizazz. I suggest picking a contrasting color from your top for a funky feel.

Now that I am a surfer girl I have fallen in love with the henley. This sporty top is comfy and cute, and a winter staple. Henleys provide the perfect look for running errands on a lazy Sunday. I've noticed pretty printed henleys lately - a nice break from monotonous plain ones. Express yourself with sassy zebra stripes or cheeky bicycle prints! Here are my designer and non-designer choices.
