Pre-swim Style: 20 Beach looks you can wear with ease
mis à jour le 6 October 2015 à 22:53
Light dresses, shorts and blouses... they serve well both on the sand or on a terrace, learn how to dress up your favorite bikinis with style.
Besides the chore/ mission/ excitement (delete where appropriate) of finding the perfect swimsuit, there is the ever-present dilemma (of course) of what look you're going for at the beach.
To solve it, there's nothing simpler than just asking yourself the following two questions:
WHAT'S MY DESTINATION?
Indeed, whether you're about to jet set in St Tropez or to nearby Bali, the situations are bound to be different. So consider the activities that you'll be doing in the different locations and plan accordingly. Lounging by the beach all day would result in wholly different style options from exploring hidden caves near the beach.
WHAT DO I LOVE ABOUT MY BODY?
Some would find that saying , "I love you" to someone else is worlds easier than saying it to themselves. Every holiday season we rely on our bodies to guide us in our vacation wear choices. While some don't even bother posing the question and will proudly wear their hot bods in their new bikinis, others are more cautious. But don't panic for we come bearing tips.
Like your chest, but not so much of your buttocks and hips? Find a dress that provides you with a perfect fit on top and a flowing bottom, or a pretty fluid tunic with a plunging neckline. Don't quite fancy showing off your legs? Pants are not the only solution; you can count on maxi dresses to channel your inner bohemian.
Whatever your style, just leave the rest to accessories: the inevitable beach bag, sandals and some jewelry (but don't overdo it!). And what better accessory than our trusty sarong, which has proven its many tying possibilities to be the ultimate ally of all our summer desires?
