Appearing “comfortable and confidant”
is the key to award-winning swimsuit appearances. To get you there, Pageantry’s sizzling
2005 Swimwear Collection features competition-quality suits from the
country’s premier swimsuit designers. This year’s lines are
dominated in both the one- and two-piece styles by the halter top,
which heightens your perceived neckline length and puts the focus on
your face. Other trends to look for: contrasting-fabric binding trim,
sashes, and belts; hip rings connecting bikini bottoms; and bead-button
front closures to discreetly finish a deeply cut neckline. When
shopping for a suit, choose one that accommodates your personal style
(demure or flamboyant), body type, skin tone, and hair color, and
choose a hue rich enough to stand out under intense stage lighting. One
final tip: Use topical tanning sprays or creams to accentuate your
apparent muscle definition and to look your feminine best.
