Cutouts, lingerie looks and retro details are making waves By Associated Press For some, a new swimsuit is a rite of the summer season. “It’s always fun to buy a new bikini,” says Colleen Sherin, fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue. “It’s small, doesn’t take up a lot of closet space. And it’s always tempting because you’re usually buying one because something fun is happening, whether it’s relaxing or a vacation or just the start of summer.
