Playful prints and vibrant hues — hot pink, acid green, cobalt blue — had their place on the catwalks at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2012 in Miami Beach, as well as geometric shapes and animal-inspired prints, colors and stripes. But bold-colored and printed pantsuits were one of the popular styles on the runway, along with slouchy pants in bright pink and black, and even a Spandex, bohemian-print legging.
