Every year there are new styles and patterns to look out for on the beach. If you're heading for a spring break you can never go wrong with a black or white bikini because they're a classic and can be worn year after year. But what's the beach look for 2010? One of the hottest looks is the asymmetric style in either swimming costumes or bikinis. This is the one shoulder look, and I have to say I think it is a very sophisticated look, and depending on the cut of the bikini or suit, it can be quite a modest look too.

Very popular again this year are the cut out swimsuits. These swimsuits have large geometric holes cut out in various places, often around the hip and waist areas. Some have larger areas cut out and can be quite skimpy but they look great if you have a small, toned figure and can pull it off! Others have smaller cut outs, so if you want a sexy look but a little bit more coverage then this is the one for you.

As for colours and patterns this season, there is a lot of purple out there which is gorgeous. Also
hot for spring are bold colours and prints. Floral patterns are very big again this year, so bold, floral prints are definitely the way to go on the beach this season!
