Yes, mint is a sherbet flavor, but it is also one of spring’s hottest colors! We’re seeing the mint color pop up all over the runways on just about everything from dress to shoes to handbags. I’ve even see some very pretty mint lingerie! Mint may not be a color you’ve ever considered, but you should certainly give it a try. It actually looks great with all types of skin tones- pale to dark and everything in between. Have a look at some really fabulous mint colored products, cool huh?

The one-piece halterneck swimsuit is hot this season! It’s such a great look for swimwear because it knows what to cover and what to accent. Just about any body type can wear the one-piece halterneck, which will make it ever popular at the beaches and pools. Top designers are putting their own take on the classic design, with floral and animal prints, among others. I’ve selected a couple of my favorite designers and their halterneck designs found at beso.com.

My newly-discovered favorite brand of swimwear for men is Vilebrequin. The vibrant European brand got its start on beaches of Saint-Tropez in the early 1970s. You can’t get anymore stylish or luxurious! The mix of colors and variety of prints makes this brand one of the most desired in men’s swimwear.
