Make Waves: Bold Swimwear
The ideal vacation wardrobe really only needs one thing: fab swimwear. A true getaway = no itinerary, no overthinking—just toss in a few suits, flops and sunscreen, and call it packed. Everything else is optional.
Even if a summer vacay isn’t on the books (yet), consider this your sign to start planning your lineup. Because this season’s suit factor is, dare we say, finally free of the quiet luxury chokehold—and having a lot more fun.
Translation: Bold is back. Think multicolor stripes, animal prints and polka dots, finished with beads and metal hardware—layered onto structured, strappy silhouettes. While a sleek Lady Di-esque one-piece will forever scream chic, this summer, it’s sharing the spotlight.
In big news for surfy and sporty beachgoers, tankinis and one-pieces are also making a return to the cool category—this time with actual edge. Ideal for everything from a morning jog to swimming, surfing and sandcastling on the beach—or just looking the part—they reveal a little skin where you want it, and coverage where you don’t. So, no, it’s not the same tankini you were rocking circa 2006 with a side part.
With few opps to make a splash, swimwear is where fashion meets function—and where it actually matters (arguably the worst sitch for an outfit malfunction). Lucky for you, we’ve got local selects on lock. All you need now? A friend with a boat and a massive margarita.
