White swimwear is a super trend for Summer 2012. The LWD (Little White Dress) has taken over this season and so has the LWS (Little White Swimsuit). All white suits are breathtakingly angelic and "smokin hot" all rolled into one! Be sure to lather on some self-tanner a day or two before you plan on wearing your white hot suit. Your LWS will amplify even the slightest tan but will wash you out if it is too close to your skin tone. This trend is crisp and a must have! Consider it your new "go-to suit" for this summer! - WHITE HOT
