THE SWIM EDIT: SWIMWEAR, BEACHWEAR, COVER-UPS, AND ACCESSORIES FOR A STYLISH SEASON
Summer is finally on its way, and if there’s anything we’ve been dying to wear since the past year, it’s swimwear. It reminds us of endless waves, the sun, and maybe a mojito on the side. It doesn’t even matter if you’re headed to the beach or not; just shopping for them just fills us with excitement.
Resort wear in general makes for more effortless styling. For example, your one-piece can work as a bodysuit when tucked in a pair of jeans or denim cutoffs. Ahead, we’ve gathered the best and brightest pieces for summer, from sleek bikinis to beach bags.
Cover-Ups
Cover-ups are versatile in their own right because you can wear them whether or not you’re at the beach. Layer this piece over your swimsuit or as a light cardigan for summer dinners. A tunic is also a nice option because it can double as a day dress. Style yours with strappy sandals and accessories.
