Of course, both have Spanx’s slimming power built in around the waistline – you won’t even have to suck in for beach photos.

Top 5: Spanx One Piece Swimsuits To Buy Now

Ever since we broke the news that Spanx are making a move into the outerwear world (sort of) with Spanx swimwear, we’ve never been so excited to go swimsuit shopping. Here, we’ve put together our top five one-pieces to suck in your tummy this summer. Finally, bathing suit styles that are fun–and wearable–for everyone.

1. The Spanx structured one-piece not only has a really cool design and cups that give you support, but this bathing suit style shapes and tones your tummy in seconds.

2. Deep v neck red swimsuit looks really stylish, and has a retro feel, while lifting and creating an hourglass shape.

3. The triangle top one-piece has the feel of a bikini on top, without having to show off your tummy. Instead, the ruching and the technology inside gives you a great shape.

4. If you want something different, consider the one shoulder one piece that has a cute ruffle and trendy asymmetrical shape. You don’t have to compromise style just because you’re wearing a one-piece bathing suit style instead of a bikini.

5. The convertible one piece can be tied around the neck or the waist, giving you more ways to wear the suit.

See more Spanx swimsuits, plus shapewear, and the best bathing suit styles for you.

Sneak Peek: Cynthia Rowley’s On A Mission To Make Us Look Good Half Naked

Slim by Cynthia Rowley

Fashion guru Cynthia Rowley has just announced that she’ll be teaming up with United Legwear Co. to design some high-end sexy shapewear called Slim by Cynthia Rowley. From this sketch, above, we can see the shapewear will actually be cute, and probably include some retro-looking high-waist panties.

But Cynthia Rowley isn’t stopping there: she’s got a collaboration with Roxy coming out this April. See the sneak peek, via Nylon, below:

If you can’t wait ’til April, we’ll get you started with some similar pieces available now:

This neoprene dress is made of the same thick but stretchy Neoprene fabric as the dress above. It’s super edgy with a jacket.

With all-over control top technology, this maillot has embellishment in just the right place–distracting from problem areas, and the price is perfect, at under $50.

A shirred one-piece swimsuit with sweetheart neck helps hide a tummy.

Even if your vacation is months away, get inspiration from celebrity swimwear, shirts to hide your tummy, the best bathing suit styles, and the best cheap shapewear.

Breaking News: Spanx To Launch Swimwear Line

Spanx lovers, rejoice. We got confirmation that shapewear company Spanx is launching a bathing suit line now. You can buy the new line of Spanx-infused swimsuits, which includes super cute bikinis and one-piece bathing suit styles in different styles (some of which are pictured below), starting now.

Finally, their patented shapewear technology we’ve been wearing under our clothes for years will be put to even better use: the dreaded bathing suit–just in time for spring break vacations.

Black is the most slimming swimsuit color–these one-piece swimsuits look chic whether you’re at an indoor pool or an island retreat.

If tankinis are more your style, check out these: the brown tankini has hidden technology flattens the tummy, and smoothes the back and love handles, while the blue ruffled one boasts a flattering neckline and can be paired with a high-waist bottom for extra coverage.

If you’re more of a bikini gal, check out the structured bikini (at left) which has a boosting bra, and the black ruffled bikini is designed to create a bulge-free look. We’re not sure how much sucking in the Spanx bikinis do, but we have to admit, they’re super cute.

Check out our previous coverage on shapewear, bathing suit styles, controlling underwear, how to dress thinner, and our ultimate Spanx guide.

Miami Fashion Week: Hippies, Housewives, Harem Pants (Oh, And Swimwear)

I had to stop myself from wearing my swimsuit to the office today. After spending some time at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week SWIM in Miami Beach last week, wearing next to nothing seems like the most natural thing in the world. The sexier, stripped down sister of New York Fashion Week, Miami’s spin had models sashaying around a pool-turned-catwalk in the skimpiest of summer fashions. The Scene: Bold was the new black as far as Miami street (or poolside) style was concerned. There was nary an LBD to be found in the sea of flowy, resort-chic maxi dresses in over-the-top, bright patterns. From the opening night swimwear strutters to the Chambord-sipping scenesters milling around the tents, it became obvious that tie-dye is back. If you’re onboard with the look, don’t go too hippie—choose something subtle and with only a couple of colors, like Arden B’s raspberry twist-strap maxi ($38). Another trend spotted: the harem pant jumpsuit. If you’ve got that no-inhibitions Miami style going for you, check out Alex Lane’s navy silk jumpsuit ($345). The Show: Tibi designer Amy Smilovic decided to take some design scent-spiration from Degree’s new beach bag-worthy line of body mists and deodorants, and three delish scents (Delicious Bliss, Sexy Intrigue, Classic Romance) inspired three eye-popping suits. You can score Degree’s new fine fragrance products at Drugstore.com, but you’ll have to wait for 2010 to snag the corresponding Tibi beachwear. In the meantime, we have plenty of options for you to choose from.

The Celebs: Wouldn’t you know it, there were zero Kardashian sightings. C’mon, lesser K’s, are you really doing so well for yourselves that you don’t feel the need to plug your Miami-based reality show? Instead, the front-and-center seats went to Real Housewife Kelly Bensimon, who was seated next to The City’s Olivia Palermo and Make Me a Supermodel mentor Nicole Trunfio. Whitney Port made an appearance, and so did Old School and Entourage actress Perrey Reeves. Check out our celeb guides to catch up on some star style, and see the best bathing suit styles for your body.
