SPLASH

Stripes, shimmer, cutouts, snaps. They’re all swimming in the fast lane this year. Wide stripes on classic racing suits, iridescent shine on low-cut maillots. Turtlenecks on suits with bare backs. And high-cut legs on every suit--unless it has a skirt. New shapes are simple, but details are bold. It’s all a question of just how serious, or sensuous, a swimmer you are. On these pages, a sampling of the latest looks.
