Bikinis

Bikinis never go out of style during the year’s hottest months.

“There are lots of women on the North Shore who stay home or have had babies and just want to look sexy,” says Julie Reppucci, a 26-year-old former fit consultant who now runs her own custom design bathing suit business. Reppucci started the company by designing suits for her own Vegas vacations and local pool parties. Now, she works out of her basement in Dracut and holds private shows at clients’ homes. Her most popular suit? An asymmetrical, over-the-shoulder two-piece with an open back. Prices range from $150 to $400. 978-265-4567, juliereppucci.com.
