If you’ve been happily rockin’ the colorblocking trend since it hit last year, or it’s been a favorite way to make a bold, bright impact as long as you can remember, there’s no need to leave the powerful pops of complementary hues behind when you hit the pool or beach. With seriously saturated shades of coral, green, blue and beyond in our designer collection of mix ‘n match bikinis, you can be sure onlookers will be blocking out some time in their schedule to admire you!

Not sure what colorblocking is, or just not sure how to do it right? Simply put, colorblocking in fashion involves taking two or more boldly-colored garments or accessories and wearing them together for a crisp, bright impact. Occasionally, you will find single garments or accessories with the colorblocking already built in, such as a bright purple purse with a Kelly Green flap. The distinction between the colors is impossible to ignore, and the lines between the two shades are typically very clean and defined. As such, you are more likely to see this trend on a structured bag than a slouchy hobo, or on a tailored party dress as opposed to a casual tee. The more clear the definition between the two pieces, the cooler and chicer it looks! As for doing it right? Luckily, it’s harder to do it wrong. Unlike many trends, colorblocking is simple. And perhaps simplest as it applies to bikinis!

The most important factor to consider when choosing a bikini is the style, whether you like triangle tops and hipster bottoms or bandeaus and tie-side bottoms. Once you’ve found the styles that suit you, consider the color options. Want to keep your colorblocking close to the same color family? Consider mixing this Seafolly Goddess Bandeau in magenta with these Seafolly Goddess Twist Hipster Bottoms in coral. Want a sharper contrast? Keep the magenta top, but add a Tiffany Blue L Space Estella bottom! More tied to the coral than the magenta? Keep the coral bottom, and add this beautiful L Space Bandeau in a rich Blue Iris. Oranges and blues are opposite each other on the color wheel and complement each other beautifully!

Have you got the hots for dots as well? We were hoping you might! Let’s take a peek at some of our prettiest polka dot swimsuits and bikinis and see which fresh take on this precocious print is your favorite…

Black and White Polka Dot Bikini – This retro-inspired bikini brings the best of the past in an updated look. The modern triangle top features removable padding to give you greater control over cleavage and personal comfort, while the high waist bottom flatters almost every figure, whether you’ve got less-than-toned abs or you can see proof of every crunch you’ve ever done! Besides looking beautiful and offering some modesty, high waisted bikini bottoms are also easier to keep up , letting you relax in the water or while walking around without worry over your bottom trying to make the great escape.

Luli Fama Polka Dot Bikini – An altogether different take on the polka dot, this bikini set brings sensual sensory overload for ladies that demand the sexiest of sexy suits! Perfectly combining the cute factor of oversized dots with come-hither crystals and a chic pop of color along the edge, this terrific two piece from Lulu Fama’s Club Tropicana Collection is available in sizes Small through Large, with your choice of sizes for each piece.

Prelude Swimwear Polka Dot Monokini – My personal favorite of all our polka dot picks, this delightful designer swimsuit combines a clever, captivating cut with a sophisticated and universally-flattering color palette. With a unique fabric that fits like a dream, this marvelous monokini feels as fabulous as it looks! It’s also on sale for 20% off right now, and available in sizes XS – L. Grab your size while we’ve still got it!

A Monokini-YES!

Too Little Shows Too Much.

While we love the skinny cut outs and sexy straps on many monokini styles it can go wrong. Essex, England fashionista, Lucky Mecklenburgh, wore a necktie sized monokini on the beaches in Barbados. You can picture this monokiNO here. While most monokinis are about showing off and silhouetting, Lucy choose one that just contains and barely covers. Why no one had told the fashion designer that fringe is the fashion choice for monokinis, we don’t know. A little fringe like on our fringe white monokini would have gone a long way to taking her look from a oh-no to a hot yes.

There are also a lot of great choices in monokini swimwear.

Fashionable and Forty

While you might think that the ladies in England have it all wrong, English model Lizzie Cundy shows you’re wrong by stylishing picking a black monokini swimsuit, seen here. Proving that monokinis aren’t just for the under 40 crowd, Lizzie picks a cut out monokini with sheer belly. Judging by Lizzie’s great tastes, we know she’d like the jeweled one piece monokini from Jolidon as well, with a cut out belly.

Be a monokini-yes, not a monokiNO. We promise you’ll love to be caught by the paparazzi in any of the designer monokinis at EliteFashionSwimwear.com.
