As much as I love spending sunny summer days by the water, there’s nothing I dread more than searching for that perfect piece of swimwear. Finding something stylish is hard – but finding something stylish AND flattering is nearly impossible.

For those out there who face the same dilemma, 1 Sol Swimwear is providing a solution. The LA-based design company is re-defining swimwear with its sexy and flattering collection for summer 2010. Launched last year, the swimwear has already made a huge splash, even landing on celeb bodies like AnnaLynne McCord, Audrina Patridge and Abbie Cornish. Meant to be worn to catch some major attention on the beach, the designs incorporate modern silhouettes, simple lines and shiny detailing for that extra hint of glamour.

Choose your pick from the collection’s 36 swimwear styles, and 10 colour options. For those more daring, there’s the Starbust knotted hipster Bikini, which features a triangle top embroidered with Swarovski crystals; and for those who like to be a little more covered up, the Rockstar bandeau bikini offers full back covereage with its boy brief, embellished with copper and silver metal studs. To see all the sun-inspired designs, check out 1solswimwear.com.
