The sun is shining, summer is just around the corner, you are starting to shed those extra winter pounds…now all that is need is the right swimsuit to flatter and support you. Whether you plan on sailing the high seas, or just lounging around the resort pool, Speedo is a classic choice for just the right coverage and fit.

The Hana Beach Collection has a 1950s-inspired feel Ms. Monroe herself would have been proud to wear; with two slimming, curve-hugging features. The Printed One-Piece and the Wrap Maillot, in bold, yet understated graphic prints, have side shirring sure to flatter any waistline. The lime in particular has a timeless tropical appeal and with a slightly more daring, but still conservative, neckline and deep-dipping back that exudes pure vintage goddess. The solid-colored Criss-Cross Front suit has extra fabric where most women need it most; on the tummy. This criss-cross design subtly creates a more hourglass silhouette without the need for distracting prints. All suits are equipped with a Hydro Bra for ultimate, athletic support and comfort.

For those who like a two-piece, but still prefer conservative coverage, the Hana Collection offers several Tankinis and Halterkinis in simple solids, or classic “Hawaiian vacation” hibiscus, in sea-worthy navy and ocean-inspired turquoise and green. And of course, the classic Marilyn Halter bikini top, paired with either basic full-coverage high-waist bottoms, slightly more revealing side-tie bottoms, or flirty skirted bottoms, feel ready-made for some decadent sunning aboard a fabulous yacht.

And when the sun finally sets in its glorious pink and gold on the horizon, Speedo offers several new cover-ups as the night breeze rolls in. The hooded zip-front dress is a classic and cozy French terry-cloth cover-up with deep, warm pockets perfect to wrap yourself in at the end of the day. The Tie-Front dress in a poly/rayon Jersey knit is more appropriate to throw on over your suit for a sunset dinner or drinks in the resort cabana. Comfortable, yet still fashionable, it is a perfect cover to pair with your Hana suit. All in all, the Hana Collection has a time-honored appeal that should make any woman, young or old, feel like a demure, understated diva. Just add a fruity drink, some sparkling jewels, and a fabulous golden tan. Voila!
