Every spring everyone waits in anticipation for all of the great swimwear companies to unleash their new designs. Among the many big swimsuit names, such as Venus Swimwear, Nike, Victoria Secret, etc. includes the well known name of Calvin Klein swimwear. After hearing about their swimwear from a friend last year, I wanted to give the Calvin Klein label a try to review it for myself.

First, A Little History Lesson In His Swimwear

In 1968, Calvin Richard Klein launched what would later become Calvin Klein Inc. In the 1980's, Klein blurred gender boundaries between the sexes by designing super masculine bikinis for women that truly shocked and amazed everyone. Today, nearly 40 years later is no different. Although Calvin Klein has many other fashion lines, bathing suits are still in high priority.

Their Swimwear Styles

I found this designer's swimwear to be simple, clean, and classic with a modern twist. In 2007 the line was marked by its matt lycra, nude colors, and its latest addition, the cover-up.

The different types of Calvin Klein bathing suits are; solid and ruched skirts, boy shorts, triangle bikini, string bikini (for people who look like they belong in Hollywood), tankini (for people whose bodies are sinfully bad), and halters.

What I found to be better about his swimwear than other designer suits is they are made with the many different body types of women in mind. For example, the pleated solid one-piece is perfect for small breasts because the pleats across the breasts create volume. On the other hand, the ring-detail halter is perfect for holding in larger breasts.

Shopping for Their Swimwear

As of January 1, 2007, Calvin Klein began its nationwide expansion with stores that carry the Klein label swimwear. Online, the company's home website does not include shopping capabilities, but upscale online stores such as Victoria Secret, Macy, Nordstrom, and Southbeach do.

Before you go shopping for swimwear, it is a good idea to have your measurements on hand as well as your cup size. Decide on what style you want to complement your body before hand, and then decide on one of the great designs.

Calvin Klein swimwear could be a great addition to your swimsuit collection. However, their designs are not loved by everyone so you might want to go to a store to try them on before you decide to buy them online. Also, look at other discounted swimwear stores as many types of swimwear is similar to that of the famous designers, but costs less.
