Tidal Wave

The one-shoulder design, a perpetual part of the swimwear lexicon if one can say such a thing about a swimsuit, is a constant reminder that in fashion everything comes back, especially when it was always there. The ribbed fabric is a reminder that aesthetics can be functional. It is a classic truth about swimwear that it's nice to look good but it’s even better to be comfortable. The high leg cut is a sign that the designers know their business, which is to make the wearer look as good as possible. The chic accessories are there to show that the swimsuit is so good it hardly needs them. You could hardly wear the swimsuit to a cocktail party but you could wear the earrings. The swimsuit itself is for being by the water, where you need the elasticity that is present in high amounts. It’s likely that the swimsuit would be even more striking far from the water, in a street setting. But it's at its most striking when it makes the wearer look wonderful.
