How to Pick the Perfect Beachwear?

Beachwear shouldn’t be constrained to a t-shirt with a palm print and a drape over a bikini. Wearing the perfect beachwear  should be  about feeling confident but at ease. It is about feeling beautiful inside out. Here are our top tips you should consider while picking up beachwear for your next staycation.

Add patch work to your Beachwear

Its time to take the “patchwork” fashion to the beach. Strawberries, cupcakes, popsicles, beer, and pineapple patches can add a special edge to your beach outfit. Patches with starfish, and waves will help your swimsuit reflect your holiday spirit. These patches can be worn on bikinis too. As a substitute, you can utilise them to improve items like your backpack or shoes.

Opt for happy colours

Choose brighter hues! Go  for summery patterns and colours such as yellow, pink, or blue in bikinis and swimsuits to bring a cheery vibe to your appearance. An excellent alternative are pastels shades. Avoid anything with excessive beading or glitter. Instead, experiment with pastel colours by combining them with bulky accessories.

It is the Season of Prints

The current trend of prints will undoubtedly enhance your sense of beach style. Instead of sticking with the boring stripes, choose beachy images like crab, octopus, or basic prints of coconut trees, dolphins, or palm islands. Another wonderful approach to look beautiful on the beach is to wear an ombre beach dress and colourful wrap-arounds.
