The Bootylicious Bottom Line

What's the top trend? Detailing on the derriere. Whether you're built like Kim Kardashian or just want to look that way, strategic ruching and subtle stitch details can add oomph to what you already have and flatter and enhance what you don't.

An international pop culture hit, Bikini.com The World's Biggest Beach Party (http://www.bikini.com), is the most comprehensive and fun beach lifestyle media brand. Based in Miami Beach, the bikini capital of the world, Bikini.com brings the beach lifestyle right into everyone's computer with a tongue-in-cheek, retro look reminiscent of the old Frankie and Annette beach blanket bingo movies. From cutting edge swimwear fashion to the world's sexiest swimsuit models, Bikini.com is light-hearted and full of international sex appeal.

From debutantes of the '50s to Studio 54 disco divas of the '70s, today's ultra-glamorous women are looking to the past for inspiration. Bikini.com says that high-waisted, two piece swimsuits figure prominently in this elegant vintage trend.

Break out your passport, the tribe has spoken. Designers featured all kinds of hot ethnic looks with Native American, Moroccan, Aboriginal Australian and especially African inspiration. It's exotic sex appeal for citizens of the world with a fun sense of adventure.

This season, give 'em the old razzle dazzle with studs, beads, sequins, rhinestones and any other kinds of embellishment that add splash to a swimsuit. Whether you're a Jersey Shore fan or a Las Vegas showgirl, there's a sparkly, showstopping look for you.

Glamorous metallics in glossy high-tech fabrics are a luxurious trend worth mining. Bikini.com reports that this season's swimsuits are dripping in gold, bronze and copper, giving every beachgoer the Midas Touch.

Break out the satin sheets: From bras to bustiers, racy-lacy swimsuits in everything from soft pastels to black lace are taking lingerie from the bedroom to the beach.

Swimsuits are held together this season with prominent metal buckles, buttons and rings that add a luxe, jewellery-like accent to sleek designs.

Playful paisleys, groovy geometrics, and fun flowers and fruits in eyecatching, vibrant bursts of colour provide an antidote to minimalist and monochromatic looks. Bikini.com advises that these bold, bright patterns give everyone the opportunity to break out and have fun with their swimwear.

Animal prints manage to be both a trend and a timeless classic. Leopard, tiger, crocodile, python and even peacock can bring out the sexy wild thing in you.

From crisp and chic nautical stripes to preppy madras, collegiate looks and sweet summer gingham, this season's swimsuits are as hot as apple pie.

Naughty meets nice with monokini cutaways and strategically placed cutouts that emphasise the feminine form and show off a body to its best advantage. Keyholes, bondage strips and see-through bands of fabric give a 'peek-a-boo' effect that will definitely set you apart from the crowd.

That's Bikini.com's bottom line on the top 11 swimwear trends for 2011.
