BET's Rip the Runway: Swimwear
Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie
Some of the swimwear shown by Amaya Swimwear looked like something you might pick up this summer for your neighbor's pool party -- fresh, pretty, flattering, and totally wearable.
Other pieces, however, were High Fashion Swimwear, with capes, cutouts, and details you wouldn't dare get wet -- perfect for days out on the yacht or that A-list pool party in the Hamptons. Seriously fashionable or seriously wearable, all the suits had stunning details and interesting accents.
I loved that they ran the gamut -- it almost seemed like real people could wear even this to the beach, given the proper motivation (like promise of really, really beautiful boys). And, for the most part, the models were beautiful and real; a couple looked underfed, but most of them looked healthy and comfortable in their skin. And that is a Good Thing for those of us feeling just a little nervous about beach season.

Have you ever been at a party when some dude says, "Hey baby, wanna get in the hot tub?" You can normally turn him down with the standard excuse -- "Sorry, I didn't bring a bathing suit." You're off the hook, unless you plan on getting nekkid with him, in which case you're probably not looking for an excuse.
