Top 7 Sports Illustrated Swimsuits for Women

By Susan Breslow Sardone, About.com

Every winter Sports Illustrated publishes its much-awaited annual swimsuit issue, filled with tan, willowy models in poses that suggest they are equally adept at indoor sports.

Eye candy for many male readers, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue also works as a shopping guide for women, cluing them in to the latest swim suits, bathing suits, bikinis, and thongs for the beach. Below are some of the best-looking beachwear brands appearing in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit edition.

1. Luli Fama Swimsuits

Designer Luli Fama's swimsuits appear every year in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue as well as on her Web site. Luli Fama's sexy, pretty, and ultra-hot bikinis offer buyers a choice of tops and bottoms.

2. Sports Illustrated Swimsuits at Canyon Beachwear

Canyon Beachwear features 25 styles from the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, including designs by House of Dereon, Emamo, Pompei Beach, Melissa Odabash, Zoe NYC, Letarte, and Carmen Marc Valvo.

4. Becca Swim in Sports Illustrated

Designed for the woman who doesn't need over-the-top colors to attract attention, Becca swim bikinis are available in colors — but not shapes — you would find in a boardroom.

5. House of Deréon Swimsuits in Sports Illustrated

It's more than family loyalty that made Beyoncé Knowles suit up in her mother's designs for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

6. Michael Kors Swimsuit in Sports Illustrated

Conservative yet sexy, Michael Kors swimsuits are all about cut, and the designer knows how to flatter a model's figure.
