Want to be the hottest little fish in the fashion pond this summer? Snag one of these too-cute suits from Paris lingerie designer Princess Tam-Tam:

The suits also come in navy blue. I like the ruched briefs with the triangle top best, but you can also opt for a wired top, bandeau, or a string bottom. Buy them directly from Princess Tam-Tam online, or from Saks Fifth Avenue online — each piece will run you between $70 and $100 clams.

True, paisley or black one-pieces are probably more sophisticated swim options, but I believe in having some — warning, cliche coming — fun in the sun.

(In case you were wondering where the name "Princess Tam Tam" comes from, the Interweb tells me that there's a 1935 Gréville film of the same name starring Josephine Baker. Thanks Wikipedia!)
