It's almost that time of year again! The days get longer, the sun gets hotter and swimsuit trends are making their way onto beaches and pools everywhere. There are a few fads that are getting major attention this season and according to sources such as people.com and firsttoknow.com, we've found the hottest looks to get your summer started right!

Halter

Ala the 1950's, this bust enhancing style is all the rage from the runway to the coast. Complimentary on almost every body type, the halter top swim suit is a must have this summer! In every color, especially orange hues – which is the “it” shade of the season, halter tops are going to be around for years to come according to industry pro's.

The One Piece

Who would've thought that a one piece swimsuit could be considered sexy?!? With embellishments, cut-outs and sultry styles that are turning heads, one piece bathing suits are now hotter than ever. Look for the high cut bottom and low cut top when selecting a one piece – this ain't your mom's one piece! Like the little black dress, go for this style in black for 2013.

The Bandeau

A 1970's classic, the bandeau swim suit is timeless and gaining momentum this year. Made popular by celebs such as Bo Derek, this piece is a definite addition to the swim wear drawer this summer. Strapless or strapped, go for this look in boho chic prints and muted colors. Not just for hippies these days, the bandeau looks best on those with a little more up top, so try this trend on before buying!
