People make New Year’s resolutions every year and many of these resolutions involve getting in shape and by spring comes around this has transformed into wanting to look good in a swimsuit. For 2010 Betsey Johnson has made things easier or maybe more difficult by revealing their new designer bikini for 2010. What they have for consumers is hit or miss for the most part.

The Good

The first entry features the ever popular leopard print pattern. This is another womens swimsuits but that is where the similarities end. The Leopard -Print Wrap Around bikini from their swimwear line actually looks much like a halter top bikini. The top starts in the back but wraps around the front and connects at the top in back of the neck. The effect is both sexy and cute and promises much fun at the beach this summer.

The Bizarre

Bizarre can be cool. Bizarre can be great, but bizarre is definitely a bad thing when it comes to the Red Carter Slashed One-Piece. It is an eye catcher but seems more likely to generate negative comments instead of compliments. The Slashed one-piece started out as a regular, one strap bikini. Perfectly normal and not anything to attract attention. Its attention grabbing features are the “slashes across the front and sides. It appears that they were aiming for cheeky and teasing, but it just looks like the wearer survived being mauled by a leopard, or worse, is wearing the swimsuit of someone who did not survive.

Sounded Better at the time?

A quick survey of the new Betsey Johnson swimwear, one sees numerous interesting designs. One of these, in the category of Little Black Swimsuits, is the Topless Bikini. Yes, the the Topless bikini and not the topless bikini model. What is intriguing about this swimsuit, in addition to its design, why they thought that it was necessary or would sell. After all going topless while at the beach is nothing new. If they had made something that was cute, they could have gotten away with it, but no. The swimsuit features a cute bottom with a section of fabric in the front that starts out wide and tapers into two cords that tie at the neck. It would not be so bad if it did not look like the person was getting a front wedgie or wearing an odd diaper. Neither of these are sexy. Ironically enough, the topless bikini comes with a removable bandeau top.

In fact the majority of Victoria Secrets designer bathing suit offerings this year are a wonderful and cute, such as the Leopard Print Gold Ring Bandeau Top bikini featuring delightful lower rise bottom.
