Shopping at the Body Glove

In one of Valerie Bertinelli's recent television appearances, she said that one of her preferred swimsuit brands of choice was the Body Glove brand. Easily accessible both online and in stores, this is great news for anyone looking for a Bertinelli blue bikini for summer, vacations, cruises, or a little anticipated weight loss.

Body Glove Styles

Here are a few similar styles to Valerie Bertinelli's blue bikini. Look for the one that suits your particular shape best because some styles are more flattering on particular body types.

Tie Collections

Body Glove has a specific swimwear collection, usually one per year, that features a great deal of string ties near the hips and bust. One of Valerie Bertinelli's bikini choices, shown when she was reclining in the sand, is tied at the bust center and side of the hips.

Look for swimsuits with a halter top front, either slim or thick depending on the amount of support you require, and with some tie accents in various varieties. You'll find that Body Glove features several similar, but slightly different looks, from the same capsule collection.

Ring Front Tie Halter: One style features a cinch-hole front with string halter ties, best suited for the smaller to average-busted.

String Front Tie Halter: Instead of utilizing a central ring in the bikini front, this bikini top style has a simple string between the soft cups that loops into a bow. You can find this style with thicker, more supportive straps.

Banded Tie Bikini Bottoms: This bikini bottom look features a band along the upper hem, ties at the sides in bows, and moderate back coverage. The side ties are usually functional, but it is possible to find a pair of swimsuit bottoms with a continuous band around the hips.

String Tie Bottoms: Looped side tie bottoms are great when you've got toned hips and thighs like Serena Williams, and the back coverage is usually minimal to moderate. Front coverage is also usually reduced.

Double Tie String Bottoms: For more generous bikini bottom coverage, you might want to find double string tie bottoms. A drawstring loops between two ring holes and cinches in a loop effect, and a contrasting color can be used with the bikini bottoms if you don't want to stick to blue.

Faux Tie Bikini Bottoms

Valerie Bertinelli's blue bikini was smaller than this particular style, but a string bikini isn't the most figure-friendly option. Body Glove offers several faux-tie looks that can be mixed and matched with a variety of string and non-string halter bikini tops.

String-Accented Boyshorts: Look for boyshorts with a squared-off silhouette that can flatter an athletic figure or someone with wider hips. String ties can be pulled to add a ruched affect to the sides of the shorts, but will have that same string tie accent that you might expect from a Valerie Bertinelli style.

Asymmetrical Tie Briefs: Some bikini bottoms offer the same tie accents on a pair of bikini bottoms, but they do not provide a runching effect. Look for a pair of full coverage bikini bottom briefs with a single side tie at the hip.
