a saring.
"I like cover-ups. You can walk around in your bathing suit and a cover up and be comfortable," Culp said. "But I wear skirts and sarongs instead of the pants."
Ashley Sloan, Manhattan sophomore and employee at Shark's Surf Shop, 813 Massachusetts St., said that the most popular new styles for women were the triangle tops with crisscross straps in the back and tops with a strap over one shoulder.
A new pants trend that could be used as a cover-up was seen at Shark's. Sarongs and skirts that match women's bathing suits were still sold, but pants made from matching material were more present.

material were more important. Lesley Culp, Chicago freshman, said that she might like the pants if they were similar to a sarong.
If one has the problem of being one size on top, and another on the bottom, some swimwear lines sell the pieces separately, so the customer is able to mix and match.
Culp said that the price could vary depending on the style and support of the suit.
Joe Flannery, owner of Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., said that some swimsuit lines at the store sold separates, as in, one sized top with a different sized bottom. Flannery said that that choice was convenient for customers.
Flannery said that popular styles this season include boy shorts, triangle tops, solid colors and ethnic or floral prints.
"They sell better every year," he said. "Girls can choose whether they want a thong or boy shorts — they're really popular."
“It’s too early to tell what styles won't be coming back from last year,” he said. “I'll have to wait until summer.”
