Zodiac Sign Fashion: Swimsuit Styles for 2011 Based on Astrology

If you're looking for inspiration on which swimsuit styles for 2011 you should add to your wardrobe, why not take a hint from Zodiac Sign fashion, which offers looks, trends and colors based on Astrology. Although these suggestions won't take your body shape, age or complexion into consideration, they can be a fun and surprisingly insightful way to take try out new styles you might have otherwise overlooked for summer 2011!

Each of the twelve Zodiac Signs has different colors, patterns, textures and styles attributed to them in Astrology. The following guidelines incorporate those elements to find an example of a look appropriate for women of each Zodiac Sign.

Aries Swimsuit Styles: Aries is The Ram, and members of this Zodiac Sign are ruled by intense, passionate Mars. They tend to be active, athletic people with a flair for bold colors and sexy styles, but few Aries will sacrifice comfort entirely for fashion. The "Sequined U-neck Halter Top" and matching bottom are a great choice for a beach loving Ram, complete with eye-catching sequins along the bust line, and bright pink material. The cut of the swimsuit, and the straps which tie at the neck, also makes this choice more appropriate for ladies who want to jog in the sand while enjoying the beach.

Taurus Swimsuit Styles: The Bulls are one of the three Earth signs, and much like Capricorn and Virgo they tend to be more traditional in their fashion choices. However, they still enjoy feminine details, and more than a few Bulls prefer sexy elements with their styles. The eye-catching, casually sexy nature of lace details can be a great fit for a Taurus, and the "Neon Lace Triangle Top" and bottom should definitely be considered. If neon colors aren't your preference, the chic black option with white ties and classic lines might be just the thing for you to flaunt your Venus-ruled self on the beach.

Gemini Swimsuit Styles: The Twins tend to love bold, bright colors and busy patterns-anything which evokes the energetic, playful nature most of them have in common. Fortunately, the swimsuits for 2011 are full of these elements, so Gemini beach goers have plenty to choose from. The "Push-up Halter Top" and corresponding bikini bottom from Victoria's Secret have bright colors in spades, with horizontal stripes in varied widths across a halter top and matching bottom. Gold ring accents on at the hips add a flash of sex appeal, making this choice excellent for the Gemini woman who wants to embody the colorful nature of summer.

Cancer Swimsuit Styles: The Crab women, much like fellow Water Sign Pisces, are frequently associated with the ocean and sea life. They tend to enjoy flirty, playful colors particularly of the blue variety, and they enjoy fun, feminine looks. The "Sea Life Push-up Triangle Top" and matching bikini bottom is a great set for any Cancer woman who wants to flaunt her love for the sea. The material has an aquatic print with blues, reds and yellows, and a center starfish embellishment further completes the sea goddess appeal. Pair this set with a strand of pearls, and feel like Venus de Milo all summer!

Leo Swimsuit Styles: The Lions love to feel regal and admired, and they love being the center of attention and envied for their trendy, stunning fashion choices. With the popularity of animal prints for 2011, a Leo woman should feel right at home donning a swimsuit with leopard spots, zebra stripes or snake scales. The "Multi-print Bandeau" set combines two flirty prints, one of them an orange leopard style, with the increasingly trendy peephole detail and bandeau charm. While it may not be an all-over animal print, it certainly has a unique appeal which will stand out in a sea of tiger stripes.

Virgo Swimsuit Styles: The Virgins, like their fellow Earth Signs, tend to favor more traditional styles which look well put together, feminine and as practical as possible without losing pretty details. The "Push-up Bandeau Top" and "Foldover Scoop Bottom" set from Victoria's Secret is flirty and interesting, while still appearing sophisticated. The two parts complement each other nicely, while adding great cleavage and awesome fabric ripples. Available in seven colors, Virgo ladies can choose between four solid colors and three prints, enabling you to decide just how flamboyant and flashy you want your swimsuit to be.

Libra Swimsuit Styles: The Scales are typically romantic by nature, frequently associated with all things highly feminine, and traditionally considered girly and pretty. Libras tend to have very social, outgoing personalities, and most of them have no objection to being in the spotlight. However, most Libra women prefer something flirty to sexy and pastel hues over deep, vivid shades. The "Floral Ruffle Bandeau Top" and matching bottom set are a great example, complete with pink ruffles and floral print details. The pink tie front is cute and flirty, without being too suggestive.

Scorpio Swimsuit Styles: In many ways, the monokini was designed for the Scorpio woman. Scorpions are almost always a sexy, provocative member of the Zodiac, who love rich colors, figure-hugging lines and flirty details. The monokini took the modesty of the one-piece swimsuit, and literally cut holes out of it, exposing glimpses of flesh and curves in places formally concealed. Despite being white, the "Lace-Up Monokini" from Victoria's Secret is a great choice for a Scorpio. The lace-up front and sides are edgy, and the gold details are eye-catching. If only it was available in black or red!

Sagittarius Swimsuit Styles: The Archers are the Zodiac Sign most inclined to wear anything that appeals to them, whether or not it is considered "in style" or trendy for the season. Because of this trait, many Sagittarians favor vintage looks and the Boho style, which allows them to be expressive with their clothing choices. For the beach, a Sagittarius should consider a retro-inspired look like the "Boho Print Banded Halter Top" by Victoria's Secret, with its bold colors, vintage print and unique look.

Capricorn Swimsuit Styles: The Goats tend to be more practical and proper in their favorite styles, preferring traditional and timeless looks to the more risky-and risqué-trends for the season. Simple patterns or solid colors with flattering and expensive-looking fabrics are great choices. The "Push-up Banded Halter Top" and matching "Skirted Ruffle Scoop Bottom" in a solid color is a feminine, flirty style great for a Capricorn beach lover. In many ways, the simplicity of this set makes it just as eye-catching as some of the more bold prints of the season.

Aquarius Swimsuit Styles: The Water Bearer loves anything unusual and surprising, which often lends to them being on the cutting edge of the latest trends. They are the first ones to notice the slightly weird, but definitely eye-catching styles on the racks, and they aren't afraid to wear metallic fabrics and bright colors. Obscure vintage swimsuits are ideal, but if you want something new, consider the "Metallic Pineapple-print Top" and matching bottom from Victoria's Secret. This set combines shiny metallic fabric, strange patterns and style lines into one two-piece package.Pisces Swimsuit Styles: The Fish are one of the three water Zodiac Signs, and they have the strongest natural affinity for the ocean and bodies of water. Most of them cannot stand to miss a trip to the beach, and their associated fashion styles tend to reflect the connection even beyond swimwear. The "Seashell Balconet Push-up Top" and bottoms are a great choice for a Pisces woman, with a white seashell print over a lovely sea green base, with feminine ties at the bust and sides.
