Even though Kim Kardashian has collaborated with Beach Bunny with her sisters for a swimsuit line, that does not mean that she only exclusively wears this brand. Recently Kim was seen wearing the Bikini Thief Lucy Bikini.

Bikini Thief is a fairly newcomer to the swimsuit scene but is making quite a splash in the the swimwear world. With great two piece bikinis in so many vibrant colors and patters as well as a large selection of maternity swimwear that offers coverage without giving up on style, all of the Bikini Thief bathing suits are great that it is hard to pick a favorite.

The Bikini Thief Lucy Bikini in Bright Coral/Black – as seen on Kim Kardashian is a slide triangle top that is lightly padded. The bottoms are full coverage so there is no fear of exposing more than you are comfortable with. The Bright Coral and Black print pattern appears to be an animal print, tiger being the most guessed, but in reality is seaweed which is a nod to its creator Whitney Andresen who grew up on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vinyard.

Summer is a time to be carefree and have fun and what better way to show off these feelings than with a bright and colorful ruffle bikini.

The Rooftop Cabana Swimsuit is a summer must have. This casual and flirty two piece swimsuit is so bright and cheerful. I love bright bands of ruffles at an angle creating an illusion of height. The ruffles cover the entire front of the top and bottom of this bikini while the back of the bottoms is a baby blue and the top has string ties. The colors stand out but at the same time work so well together. The suit has a bit of a retro feel to it but at the same time is so modern. This really is a must have summer swimsuit.

Colorblocking is a huge trend right now and there are so many different ways to wear this look. You can wear a solid color top with a different color bottom and a third color shoes. You also can wear a solid color top that has a contrasting  color trim and a solid bottom with or without the same trim. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Colorblock Bikini is more similar to the second way.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Colorblock Bikini is a solid purple triangle top bikini with contrasting white trim under the bust and on one of the triangles and the other triangle is a gorgeous coral pink. The closure of this bikini is a criss crossing tie in the back with one string being white and the other coral. All three of the colors really complement one another and work well together and at the same time each color is attention grabbing and draws you in. There are removable padding at the cups.

The bottoms of this suit are the same purple shade as the top with the same coral color trim. The suit itself is full coverage with thin banding on the waist.  This really is a great color choice and style to wear at the beach or pool all summer long.

There are only so many unique ways to make a bikini since there are many constraints in terms of material and shape.

The Mikoh Corsica String Back Bikini Top and Tortola String Side Bikini Bottom are the perfect solution for a bikini if you are wanting something original and does not look like other swimsuits.  The Mikoh Corsica String Back Bikini Top is a bandeau style bikini top that looks like a simple bathing suit top in the front but the entire back is made up of thin straps. Boning at the sides of the suit help keep the shape and give some support to the bandeau top.  The Mikoh Tortola String Side Bikini Bottom features  the thin strap detailing all around the sides of the suit. In fact, the bottoms are a bit more detailed than the top because the thin straps are more prominent.

Both top and bottom are sold separately and are available in three great colors: Bahama Blue, Palm Yellow, and Night Black. You can choose to mix the colors up or wear the same color top and bottom.

This is a great suit to wear this summer and you are sure to get so many complements when wearing, but keep in mind that you will get some interesting tan lines from this suit so be sure to wear sunblock to prevent so many thin lines.

Who says a tuxedo is not appropriate for the beach?

The Nycked Tuxedo Bikini is a simple, yet unique swimsuit that will draw attention to you when you wear it. It is a simple black and white swimsuit but the detailing of the tie at the neck makes it look like a tuxedo neck tie. This suit comes in black with white detailing or white with black detailing and both versions are equally as great. There is really nothing too fancy about this suit, they simply made the tie around the neck longer and wider than normal with the ends shaped like a bow tie. To best show off the detailing of this neck tie on the suit, tie as normal but instead of letting the tails of the tie hang down in the back, swing them back over your shoulders to the front so it looks like an untied bow tie. The shape of the bikini top is a triangle and there is removable padding at the cups. Ruched details on the top give this suit a very feminine look. The bottoms of the suit have a side tie in the reverse color of the suit which carries over the bow tie look making the suit flow together nicely.

The amount of great bikini swimsuits that there are to choose from are enormous and picking just one can be a difficult decision but the Nycked Tuxedo Bikini is not only a unique suit that few others will be wearing but it is functional and can easily be worn in the pool or ocean,  not just for laying out.

In 1960 a song called Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini was a hit not only on the radio but for the sale of all bikini swimsuits. Until then the two piece was seen as too risqué and not mainstream enough to be accepted but soon after that song, surf movies with girls in bikinis were all the rage.

Now I am sure that there are plenty of yellow polka dot bikinis still around but they are not as plentiful as other colors are. A polka dot bikini in general is easy to find due to the fact that dots are a top trend for spring / summer 2011. Whether you prefer a sporty bikini or an itsy bitsy one make sure to have at least  one polka dot one in your wardrobe.

The Juicy Couture Pink Polka Dot Triangle Bikini is a sporty yet sexy bikini. The pink and white polka dot top has a striped chest band with decorative center bow. The pink and white polka dot bottoms for this suit are on the skimpy side and have side ties. Wear this bikini with a pair of oversized white sunglasses and a great beach bag.

A sporty retro inspired bathing suit is the Nina Swimwear Barberella Bikini in Polka Dots. The top is a scoop halter neck and offers support and comfort. You can lounge or play in the ocean in this suit knowing that everything is going to stay where it is supposed to. The bottoms of the bikini have leather accents that can be easily removed when being washed. This does make me wonder though if this suit can get wet at all without ruining the leather. This is a question that most definitely needs to be resolved before buying and wearing this suit near the water.

You can never go wrong with a classic black and white outfit, this applies to swimwear as well. The Seventh wonderland Polka Dot Knot Bikini is a black and white bikini with a white knot detailing in the center. This bandeau style bikini has ruching at the white panel knot area giving it a bit more detailing to an already great suit. The bottom half is black and white polka dot as well and has decorative knot detailing at its sides. My favorite part of this suit is that the polka dots are two different sizes making this a very unique swimsuit.

Bikini swimwear has come a long way in the past 50 years in terms of style and fashion. You have to wonder a bit though where we would be if not for that fateful song about a yellow polka dot bikini.

Plaid is a pattern that has long been associated with the preppy look. Golfers and tennis players have been wearing this pattern for a long time but it was in the 1980s when this pattern really went mainstream. Movies like Caddyshack, 16 Candles, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off all had at least one character wearing a plaid pair of shorts or shirts. You can still find great plaid clothing some 30 years later but my personal favorite way to wear plaid now is with a one or two piece bathing suit. The colors of plaid clothing in the past was mainly pastel colors or traditional blues and reds but now the plaid swimwear has become more adventurous and includes vibrant colors like pink, purple, and green.

Though plaid was in its heyday in the ’80s, its popularity really started in the 1950s. The Rainbow Graph One Piece Swimsuit is a great preppy, vintage inspired suit that is very figure flattering. Low legholes, a halter top, ruching on the sides, and a pale pastel plaid pattern make this suit the perfect blend of vintage and modern prep look. This suit is available in a plus size version as well as regular and plus size two piece swimsuit.

The GUESS Plaid About You Bikini is a fun and frilly modern two piece bathing suit in a bright plaid pattern. Available in both a triangle, a halter style bikini top, or a tankini all three have ruffle detailing on them. For the bottoms you can choose between a standard cut bottom or a side tie bottom that happens to have a ruffle trim. I love two piece suits that are sold as separates AND offer different styles and cuts to choose from.

Though the ’80s prepsters were conservative and not known for wearing neon colors, the modern preps of today are open to these colors. The FULL TILT Plaid Swimwear is most reminiscent of the 1980s as a whole. This two piece bikini has the plaid pattern of a prep and the bright neon colors that the rebels of that day had. This really is a modern preppy swimsuit. I love that this is a full coverage halter style suit so you can tan and play with no worries. This truly is a stylish swimsuit.

While a solid color bathing suit  can be sleek and sophisticated,  a tie dye swimsuit is fun and playful. Tie dye patterns are unique and all are one of a kind from one another. These patterns have come a long way from tie dye of the 1960s and 70s. The patterns, colors, and techniques are much more refined and not as amateur as they once were.  Most of these tie dye wonders tend to be bright and colorful which are great  for showing off a tan. There are a lot of tie dye swimsuits though that are in more muted colors and patterns so you will not feel that you are too old for tie dye. The best part about these bathing suits is that no two are exactly alike making yours a one of a kind creation.

The Cali Dreaming Tie Dye String Bikini is a lined mesh sporty swimsuit in great shades of pink, grey, and white. The colors are bright enough to draw attention and accentuate a tan but are not overly bright that they are harsh against a pale complexion. This string bikini top is triangle shaped and is a great choice if you do not need support. The bottoms of this suit tie on both sides so you will not have wide tan lines top or bottom. If you are unable to wear a bikini that does not offer support, do not be discouraged because there are plenty of other great tie dye swimsuits to wear this summer.

The Vitamin A Gold Collection Tiki Knot Halter is a fuller cut bikini so you will get the coverage that you need without the expense of losing out on style. I love how vivid the pink and green are on this suit and they will really accent a tan so well. The knotted ties on the bikini top give this ordinarily simple style of bathing suit an added style and dimension. The wide tie under the bust line and removable padding make this suit comfortable and supportive. There are a few options for bottoms for this bathing suit. The bottom in the picture below is the Brasilia Bottom is very low cut and has side ties to give the suit a bit of a styling boost.  Even though the suit is a bit skimpy, rest assure this bottom is not going to fall off easily. If you are a still hesitant about this bikini bottom, the Vitamin A Gold Collection Candy Bottom is a bit fuller but that does not mean that it is boring. This suit bottom has interesting ruching on the hip area. Rounding out the picture below is the hand dyed Silk Pareo which you can wear as a sarong skirt or halter dress over this or any other swimsuit.

There are plenty of one piece swimsuits to choose from if you are more comfortable wearing something with a bit more coverage and support.  The MICHAEL Michael Kors Circle Tie Dye Shirred Bandeau Maillot is a muted tie dye swimsuit with circle dye patterns all over.  The gorgeous slate color is one of the hottest and trendiest colors this season. The neck tie through a metal ring holds the suit up well and can easily be untied when tanning to prevent tan lines. The full cut in the rear and the shirring throughout the swimsuit make this very figure flattering. All around this is the perfect bathing suit, it is stylish, supportive, and figure flattering. You can easily play in the sand or water and have no worries exposing yourself due to the suit slipping.
