john "...the one style that most represents the new season is what designers have dubbed the tankini. Anyone shopping for a swimsuit next season will find many versions of the tankini, which has a camisolelike top that extends to the waist or lower, and a bikini bottom. The top covers the midriff but can be folded or pulled up to bare more skin."
