Sexy Sporty Oakley Swim 2014

The true beach warriors hit the runway at the Oakley Swimwear fashion show last Sunday.  While many of the models at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim emphasized the sexy attributes of bikinis (often wearing impossible stilettos) sports stars strutted their fit bodies earned from hard work.

Oakley is the label you wear to play, strive and surf.  This was proven by pro-surfer Erica Hosseini and pro-volley ball player Christal Engle who took on the catwalk.  They weren't pandering to the leering hotel lizards but were sexy and strong by being accomplished athletes.

I haven't been able to personally verify the practicality of the suits in active use, so I can't tell you if they really are sport-worthy.  Style-wise, bright, California colors, simple stripes, classic American shapes defined this collection.

Now, for those who just need their eye candy, here you go:

Now go root for Team USA!
