old navy plus size bathing suit Old Navy can be hit or miss, but we still like to give them credit for trying to design trendy and affordable plus-sized clothes. Their spring/summer line is out now, and some of the plus-size bathing suits are really cute and flattering!

Ignoring for a minute how insane it is to try on bathing suits when it's still snowing, we're glad to see some smart tailoring, fun colors and the right kind of patterns -- small ones, that trick the eye -- on four very wearable one-piece bathing suit styles:
  • side-rusched tank
  • cross-back tank
  • faux tankini
  • underwire halter

They also have a two piece tankini in a couple of sassy prints and some swim cover ups that range from perfect to a pair of "what were they thinking?!" 3" terry hotpants. Sure, equal opportunity exhibitionism and all, but we know very few women -- plus-size, medium-size or pint-sized -- who should be wearing those.

If you're ready to face the flourescent lights of the dressing room, then check them out in person. We're still at the hot chocolate and online shopping stage, but these designs definitely gave us some inspiration!
