What trend-setting printed bathing suit are you going to the beach this summer?

Selecting a printed suit, is a great way to express your individuality on the beach this summer. Here is the print trend report for your swimming suit this summer (2007) according to wgsn-edu.com and the following images are some examples of these trends at stores that I thought are priced reasonably for the college students like ourselves.

Look #1 Measured: Resort/Spa

Pattern looks to woodblock simplicity; florals and seashore imagery, such as wave effects and seaweed, Classic French Riviera styling is updated with simplified geometric & color block patterning.
