Look No. 3: One-piece suits
Onda de Mar ($175)
Peters notes that the additional coverage from a one-piece suit does not mean less impact — one-piece suits can be flattering yet sexy. Artistic Floral in burnt red will look fabulous with a tan complexion, and the beaded detail even adds more fun and flair. The higher cut elongates the body and support at the bust makes this ideal for a full spectrum of beach activities.

Look No. 4: Classical Nautical Stripes
Ralph Lauren Blue Label (top $48; side-tie hipster $54)
Classic Nautical Stripes will last for seasons to come, says Peters. A bright yellow string accent brightens it up, and the triangle shape is great to enhance a smaller bust. Slip on sneakers with this sporty suit and get active.

what the ?!? Obviously, you didn't grow up in a beach town.
Really though, I've been around a few ummm decades and bathing suits just haven't changed that much. I do think the shoes are more fun. But I'm having a hard time getting past the prices. Anyone else think paying $150 for a beach towel is a bit ridiculous? I wonder what the mark up is on the accessories listed....I'd instantly feel raped if I paid that much. - Reply to this comment
- If you look good, do it. If you don't look good, for gosh sakes, don't do it.
