What's the idea of swimsuits this season? It's a luxe life by the pool, at the ocean and on the lake this season. Right now, the most flattering swimsuits are embellished with eye-catching details or are made from glittering metallics. Dramatic cutouts on the hips, metallic closures and shimmering materials are some of the most popular trends in swimwear, according to Elise Albert, owner of What Women Want Swimwear in Tempe. But after 16 years in the swimwear business, Albert knows most women just want comfort and coverage in their swimsuits. "The trends are important, but it's always important to focus on what looks good on you first, and then find a suit that updates your look from there," she says. Classic colors such as navy, red and earth-tone neutrals are popular this year at Everything But Water at Scottsdale Fashion Square, manager Melissa Parker says. "It's more about gold hardware this season than rhinestones and diamonds, which were bigger last year," she says. When fitting a woman for a suit, Parker advocates a total-look approach, factoring in skin tone, hair color and what kind of accessories a woman will be wearing with her suit. "Everyone wants to look their best in a swimsuit, and there's a lot we can do to help make that happen these days," she says. (Agencies)

這是一個在泳池邊、海邊和湖畔享受“奢華”生活的季節(jié)。 而當下最炫的泳裝要么以吸引眼球的細節(jié)裝飾為主，要么以色澤鮮亮的金屬為原料。 “女人愛泳裝”的老板埃麗絲·阿爾波特說，髖部的夸張裁剪、金屬拉鏈和閃閃發(fā)光的面料是當下最為流行的幾大泳裝潮流。 涉足泳裝業(yè)16年之久的阿爾伯特發(fā)現(xiàn)，大多數(shù)女性對于泳裝的要求就是舒服和面料的質地。 她說：“這些潮流很重要，但首要問題是你穿什么款式好看，然后在此基礎上再去找一件能給你增色的泳裝。” 斯科特斯德時尚廣場的“Everything But Water”的經理梅麗莎·帕克說，海藍、紅色和泥土色調的中性色是今年的泳裝主打色。 她說：“今年，金色的金屬裝飾更流行，而去年則以水晶和鉆石為主。” 在談到女性如何選擇泳裝時，帕克建議采用“全方位法”，將膚色、頭發(fā)的顏色和將會選擇的其它配件通通考慮進來。 她說：“每個人都想穿上泳裝時美艷驚人，現(xiàn)在我們可以有很多辦法來幫助女性實現(xiàn)這一愿望。” （英語點津姍姍編輯）
