Breezy Beach Style

Easy beach time looks

Finally, the moment has arrived! No more will you need to scroll through post after post of other people’s spring vacays … With summer in full force, now you too can share your toes-in-the-sand pics while barely leaving your zip code!

And thankfully, this summer’s swimwear has some promising options for us.

Let’s start with the maillot – your classic go-to one piece, appropriate for any sun goddess. With the lines constantly blurring between beachwear and your regular wardrobe, the maillot can easily be accessorized and paired with a cover-up or pant for any off-beach adventures.

If you’re feeling a trendier vibe, check out the boho-chic offerings of bandeau tops or crocheted bikinis. Also on the scene are more minimalist options such as one-color suits with contrast trim or bold, simple patterns like vertical stripes.

Another great thing about this season’s swimwear? Many more brands are incorporating shapewear or sculpted elements into their suits to help flatter any figure. With that bit of news, you’re ready for the sunshine! (With sunblock, of course.)
