This season, when it comes to what to wear to the beach, it’s all about the print.
Whether string, maillot, bandeau, halter, high-waisted or thong, this season’s beachwear is less about the style and more about the pattern. Ranging from bold stripes and prints to precious petals, the look you’ll be sporting this season is packed with pattern power. Here are just a few of our favorites to get suited up in for swim season.
Tropical Delight
Escape to a tropical getaway not just in your suit, but with your suit with the Hermes Eden “Mythiques Phoenix” one-piece. Featuring a graphic print in midnight blue jersey, it’s a blend of palm trees and beach skies just waiting for you to set sail. Find it in the Hermes location in Miami Design District at 175 N.E. 40th St., Miami, 305-868-0118.
Flower Power
As the flowers begin to bloom, so does the floral trend for spring and summer. Jean Paul Gaultier captures the look in his floral-print ruffle two-piece. The feminine suit illustrates the diversity of print options for the season. Go ahead, get girly. Clover Canyon also goes green, but with a more modern vibe. A surf-inspired suit, the Gardens Front Zip Top and Bottom is decked out in botanicals and paired with stripes.
Trippy
Mara Hoffman has long been known for her groovy prints that recall the days of the ‘60s. This season, she goes at it again with the popular rash guard trend in her ¾ Sleeve Guard Suit. Worn in a bold psychedelic print, it’s a suit that will garner more than a few glances at the beach. Pucci, also known for its glamorous retro prints, brings a softer side to pattern play with its Printed Halter Style Bikini with brass-tipped ties. Pictured in an aqua Capri print, this suit is a must for any sun-splashed getaway. Find it at Pucci in the Design District at 155 N.E. 50th St., Miami, 305-576-1830.
Step It Up
Espadrilles have always been a staple for spring and summer. And adding a little heel height to a swim look always makes legs look their best, plus it adds an air of glamour to a poolside rendezvous. Invest in a great shoe, like the Louis Vuitton Farniente Sandal for swim season. In a neutral shade, it works well with every suit, which makes it a great addition to any beach bag. Find it at Louis Vuitton in the Design District at 170 N.E. 40th St., Miami, (305-573-1366).
