Fashion : A SPECIAL REPORT: SPRING INTO FALL : Suit Scoop

Swimsuits are like ice cream this season. There are almost too many flavors from which to choose. The newest Hollywood glamour styles are inspired by the ‘40s. Athletic looks are based on surfers’ wet suits or competitive swimmers’ styles. And the most unusual are eclectic beach costumes mixing cyclist shorts or unitards with bikinis, exotic sarongs, ethnic jewelry, elaborate straw hats and high-top sneakers. The look is anything but store-bought. Like the perfect summer sundae, you have to make it yourself.
