In next year's beach season, women can be comfortable, feel glamorous and look on trend in pants as beach cover-ups.
Bold-coloured and printed pantsuits were among the popular styles on the runway during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2012 in Miami Beach, which ended this week. Slouchy pants in bright pink and black, and even a Spandex, bohemian-print legging, also might be coming soon to a beach near you.
Playful prints and vibrant hues - hot pink, acid green, cobalt blue - had their places on the catwalks in Miami Beach, as well as geometric shapes and animal-inspired prints, colours and stripes.
