1980s Anne Klein Tropical Print Swimsuit

 

 


Though tempting it may be, after thumbing through the Sports Illustrated annual swimsuit edition (oh come on, you know we all do it) to throw caution to the wind and buy this season's hottest bikini, we always experience that saving moment of clarity and choose instead the one piece. That is not to say that we can't or shouldn't wear the bikini, we just feel more confident with a bit more coverage. And that, my dear, is the key to pulling off the whole swimsuit thing in the first place! CONFIDENCE. If wearing that bikini makes you feel like a showgirl, then go for it. But if revealing a little less leaves you more self-assured at the beach, you can still look sexy and stylish. A subtle tropical floral print in shades of violet purple, forest green, black and bronzy brown makes for pretty camouflage. The scooped neckline is higher in front, wide and deep in back, for an illusion of bareness without really revealing a lot. Full coverage at the tush. Nylon and spandex fabric. Made by Anne Klein Swimwear, and best sized for a modern 6 or slender 8, excellent condition. $45
