As both my regular readers know, I don't just enjoy myself on holiday. Oh,no. I selflessly devote quite a lot of time to carefully monitoring the trends in female swimwear and share my findings with the wider community. The June sampling is,as usual,only an interim snapshot, and will be confirmed when combined with the September survey. This year I had three long beaches to survey. Herself said I had no need to add the dunes at Plaka to these three as clearly the people who frequented them were too poor to afford swimsuits.
Patterns seemed to be popular this year: stripes, spots, abstracts. Herself, as always, ahead of the trend, and careless of confusing my results, took 3 swimsuits: one all black, one mainly blue with an abstract pattern, one mainly red with an abstract pattern. Plain red and plain green seemed to be making a resurgence. There was quite a lot of orange about, often mixed with black- possibly due to the large Dutch contingent. I only saw a couple of Ursula Andress emulators in white, neither with the presence to carry it off IMHO. Animal prints were, happily, absent this year. The younger element cling loyally to pink and Hello Kitty. Yes, there was a lot of black about, especially in the mix 'n' match category, but not as dominent as in other recent years.
I'll get in training for more hard work in September.
