A lot of what was just emerging in 2012 will come front and center for 2013. Here's are some continuations that we are spotting:
High waisted bikinis - The shape is, curvy and close-fitting, accentuating the hips and waistline
Bra tops - Thin, tiny straps going over the shoulders
Lots of lacing and criss-cross straps - Graphic, visually appealing
Cheeky bottoms - Hey, if you've got the bitty bottom, then go for it.
Neon Colors - Boys + Arrows did some this year
Non-Conforming Shapes - Especially tops that are different, overlapping, criss cross, low cut, etc.
Non-Urban looks - Ethereal looks, whisps of mesh fabric, sheers, romantic, swept away look
...Think of desolated beaches far, far away...lotsa grunge
Hawaiian designers - Aloha from Acacia Swimwear, Tori Praver, Sea by Gypsy, Terra Christa
California designers - Look for more from Salt, Boys + Arrows, Cali Dreaming, Minimale Animale
Aussie designers - Anna&Boy, Kooey
