The Most Amazing Swimsuits of All Time - Part 1
By yenajeon
Search for the Perfect Swimsuit
I started out on this month long journey of trying to find the most amazing swimsuit when I realized that I could turn my search into a hub! I ran across dozens, heck hundreds of such amazingly gorgeous bathingsuits that I just had to share!
Now, as a 'fashion-forward' (or so I'd like to think) woman, I know when I head out to the beaches this spring/summer, I need to wear something unique, beautiful and most of all, AMAZING! This is whats expected of me from all my friends/followers/buyers; perhaps because they know my obsession with fashion. I read tons of magazines every week, follow multiple fashion blogs, writings, articles, subscribe to fashion newspapers, online fashion shows and even obsessively watch fashion tv; ergo, I live, eat and breathe fashion! Knowing all this, I was determined to find the perfect bathing suit.
Now that my search is complete and I am ready to leave behind snowstorms and frostbite, I'd love to show you the world's most amazing swimsuits of this year!

#1 Gottex (picture below)
This multi-colored, multi-faceted, multi-everything swimsuit just reels the mind. At least mine, that is. Its amazing crafted, beautiful and everything a fashion girl could want! Who could create such a thing? Apparently, an Israeli. This company started back in the 1950's in Israel! Today, it is adored and worn by many American celebrities for their vacations in St. Tropez amongst other places.
2. Aqua de Coco
Go Green! Green is not just for environmentalists and tree-huggers! Green is for everyone to enjoy clearly -- take a look at this fashion stunner. I love the wrapped sides, as it adds an exotic element without looking too foofy. This would be the perfect bikini for a 'sportier fashionista'.
3. Caffe
Okay, the plunging neckline with the scales and the wide belt might seem a bit much. But with fashion, sometimes a bit much can be a good thing! This is perfect for any glamazon out there wanting to look like money!
Single? Wear this to a nice beach in Southern California. Now picture the most perfect, gorgeous tall, dark and handsome man you have ever seen coming up to you to propose all because your bathing suit was a 'bit much'. Ding ding ding! Jackpot!
4. Maaji
How perfectly splendid and girly is this swimsuit. It has great style, detailing, colors, fit, imagination, uniqueness and the list goes on! I love every aspect of this bikini. Now where are those people who insist 'fashion, and clothing simply are not art'? Have they met Maaji?!
We must enlighten those pretentious art snobs!
5. Aqua di Lara
One may wonder (like I), is this a swimsuit? It could be an art piece or a sculpture but certainly not a plain ol' bikini! This is indeed the Leonardo da Vinci of Swimsuits! How in love I was, of course until I saw the 400 dollar price tag. But I digress. If catwoman were to choose a sexy suit, this would be it!
Gentlemen, can I have an amen!
6. Jet
This swimsuit has such a great 'throwback' vibe, that I had to put it on the list. Not only are the bow and buttons adorable, but the suit actually has great lines. That halter and low V-neck will surely look amazing on any woman with curves! I love the vintage-y aspect, which is saying A LOT since I am generally highly skeptical of vintage.
I can picture myself on a yacht, with a gentlemen who uncannily resembles 'Rhett' from 'Gone With the Wind'!
7. Aqua di Lara
I now know what this country is missing: (since we appear to have almost everything) What this nation needs is a Swim Suit Hall of Fame; or at least a fantastic swimwear museum. (run by moi, of course!) This swimsuit is a fantastically mesmerizing color. It's like the color of what a mermaid's tail would be if we had mermaids walking around! Would it not? I love the sheen and the perfect symmetry of the fabric. Its chic, fashionable and perfect for all sunbathers and adventure-seekers alike!
8. Beach Bunny
Yowza! If you're afraid of showing skin, back away now! This one is straight from Sex-Appeal Land! The bikini has lace, satin and cutouts! The jewel toned green is gorgeous as is the design. It may look a little bedroom-like, but why not? There are nude beaches out there for you to wear this to. If only I were brave enough... would be purchasing this at this very moment.
9. Nicole Oliver
Any bombshells out there wanting to be the center of attention? I've found the perfect bathing suit for you! This is the epitome of class crossing over to sexy. Red is a classy, but seductive color. But add in multiple panels of cutouts, and you're certainly not blending in anymore.
This is amazing, and certainly suited for my Swimsuit museum. However, I could never wear it, knowing I'd get stuck/caught in all those strings!
10. Gottex
Who says 'one pieces' can't be sexy? This is one of the most special and outstanding suits I've ever seen and look: there's only one piece! The sparkle, shape, cut all make this swimsuit fantastic. I love this look and absolutely love that there's a gold outlining in the body. Of course, it helps that the model is flawless too!
11. Beach Bunny
I just couldn't end my list without an absolutely stunning monokini! This silver bathing suit is the classiest, most exotic monokini I've seen in a long time. The lines and detailing are great. The designers definitely did not skimp out on the fabric and what makes this suit is the color. Now, this silverish-grey color can sometimes get a bit *monotone*; however, this bright, shiny silver bikini knocks it out of the park!

Great hub. I liked all the different kinds. I like the way you think. I'm amazed the unique styles of suits available today. Thank you for sharing. :)
Micky - Thanks M, I'm exactly the same. Can't start my day without a strong cup!
Cagsil - It amazes me too! Wish I had an infinite amount of money just for shopping...
Amazing suits here! I'l pass it on to my daughter who has the body for such a suit!
wow! Very beautiful suits (and models, too). Wish I have a body to go with these suits! LOL. As it is, I'll just drool away in envy.
habee: These are fantastic! You will soon have the body for them too Habee!
emievil: What would make me happy is the have the MONEY for these suits let alone the body!
Thanks for visiting =)
Wow those are something, I had a fantastic one something like these years ago..but then I had the figure for it...lol.
Polly: you can always get it back girl! Lets work towards a 'better bikini body!'
Gosh, what a superb selection of killer swim suits! Love them all! For a fave - I want the "jet"! You have good taste! Consider this Cheeky Girl a Fan now!! And thanks fr being mine too! : )
Great suits! I better keep to the gym :)
Cheeky Girl: I'm so glad you liked all of the suits! I really like the Jet one too =)
Shareitt: This is how I feel as Spring is creeping up on us!! Thanks for visiting.
In my opinion numbers 6 and 9 are the only nice suits and practical suits there and even then with 6 you have to be thin or the horizontal stripes will make you look bigger. Being an Aussie chick, I spend a lot of time at the beach and we swim to swim, spend time on the beach to play or run. I couldn't stand worrying about falling out of my swimmers.
Hi Kj8: I can see what you mean by 'non-practical' but thats what this list was intended for! For the ultra-spectacular. Personally, I would wear most of these bathingsuits, but, I'm a bit extreme =)
I have another hub on more practical swimsuits!
Thanks so much for visitng.
Never knew pleated panels could be so sexy (Beach Bunny #11). You have assembled a very elegant and glamourous collection.
Thank you Phillyfreeze, for the grand compliment. I'm so glad you liked the collection. I'm making a Part 2 as well =)
Some of these definitely quite cool and beautiful. The bathing suits I am meaning of course. ;)
Festersproling: I read your profile and its quite an interesting name! lol; I'm glad you liked the suits!
What an amazing collection. Makes me want to head off somewhere hot right now!
I also can't wait to soak in some sun! Its freezing here in the midwest =(
yenajeon, thanks for the comment on my scarves hub. I just did one about cocktail rings if you are interested.
I absolutely love this hub--especially that maaji suit. WOW. You have great taste, thanks for sharing!
ftnirish7:
I will go check out your hub on cocktail rings!
I'm so glad you love the hub. The ruffles of the maaji suit are so cute! Thanks for the compliment =)
God these are cute!
Now the only problem would be choosing one of them...you have great taste!
On your "part two" you said you ended up buying four, one of them being the aqua de coco? Could you tell me its official name and where on EARTH you got it? (i've been googling for quite a while haha)
Olivia, this is such a late response but... it is now sold out! Its also not on their official site: so sad!
I'm so glad I nabbed it before it disappeared.
Try googling south beach swimwear: thats where I get a lot of my swimwear!
Thanks!

Another delight! The Jet had me and your explanation with the retro vibe - great wordsmith!
..and quite simply put the most amazing hub of all time - I feel like such a little boy in a candy store .... it could also be your smile and the way you put together all your pages so hubtremendously .......
These swimsuits look way too good to be worn in the water! Thanks for the wonderful eye candy. Haute couture forever, babe. Later!
im in love with these swimsuits!
GmaGoldie: Thanks for the fantastic compliment! I've never been called a wordsmith before!
epigramman: you're a fantastic reader! I'm sure every male who has stumbled upon this hub did indeed feel like a kid in a candy store! Thanks for commenting!
Kosmo: I agree, it's all about eye candy!
samantha: Thanks! I was as well, and had a hard time buying just 2!
What a collection! Yowza! Where can I find the gold and red Gottex halterneck one piece? I have done 3 million Google searches and can't find it anywhere! Thank you!
This article is from last year so, the suit is probably no longer in season =(
Here are some Gottex alternatives I've found for you!
Good Luck!!
Hi, those swimwears r beautiful! But how do u get the number 3 one? I would luv to get one of those! :)
Hi Tiffany: Your situation is similar to what I told to "nicole" above you. This is last year's designs so they're probably long gone. You can check out the mentioned stores/designers and see if they have any similar monokinis! Good Luck!
Awesome Hub. I really enjoyed reading your Hub and looking at all the swimsuit pictures. I want all of them! They are all so cute!
mysisters: Thanks! I seriously can't wait for summer and swimsuit shopping!
