Best (Tie): Emilio Pucci, $330 (left). Oscar de la Renta, $750 (just below). Why? Supposedly, blue is big this season. Regardless of where your tastes fall on the color wheel, these bathing suits are just plain pretty. The one on the left is perfect for adolescents, Europeans, and plastic surgery enthusiasts, while the one below it is perfect for the rest of us.
Worst: Missoni, $672. Why? Missoni does a lot of things right. For example: sweaters, caftans, and even some dresses. Unfortunately (sigh), swimwear is not one of those things. You know your nice, elderly neighbor who crochets coasters in her spare time? Rumor has it that Missoni discovered her talents at last year’s neighborhood yard sale and hired her to design this swimsuit.
Best and Worst Ways to Spend a Fortune on Fashion is a pretty self-explanatory series on the good, the bad, and the ugly of haute couture.
