This Season’s Swimwear

THIS SEASON’S SWIMWEAR By Joanna Neve

Whether it’s a pool in Cairo or a trip to the coast, we’ve got the best swimwear looks to keep you looking fabulous this summer! People often think that swimwear is boring, it’s just a swimsuit or bikini, right? No. Swimwear isn’t just the swimsuit; it’s also the accessories that go with it. Think big earrings, straw hats, throw overs and chunky shades. When it comes to swimwear, the “world’s your oyster” as they say!

BEACH IN BLOOM

There’s certainly a lot going on with this look and we’re really impressed with Mango’s beach inspired necklaces this season. Pair this floral swimsuit with brown slip on shoes and some cute pink sunglasses. If you’re a little on the self-conscious side, vibrant patterns are amazing. Remember, every body is a “beach body”. It’s as simple as that!

RELAX IN RETRO

Retro is back with this look from Bershka. Release your inner 80’s with a stunning spotty bikini and matching accessories. The frilly bikini top will make you look ever so youthful and goes well with playful heart-shaped shades. Since you’re at the beach, the look needs a sunhat for sure! Add a matching scrunchie hairband to complete the look and keep handy a baggy white crop-top for when you’ve finished swimming.

SIMPLE BUT STUNNING

This look really reminds us of Allie’s iconic beach chic look in The Notebook (a vintage romance). It’s simple, elegant and modest at the same time. Pair the bikini with a simple brown headband to keep your hair from blowing in the wind and slip on some matching shorts for when you aren’t swimming. Over-layers like shorts are important; you don’t want to ruin a beautiful look with a mismatching throw over. Just add laced brown flip flops and a matching beaded necklace for a bit of colour. You’re certain to dazzle wearing this vintage style.

PURPLE IS A GIRL’S BEST FRIEND

This look by Zara will not disappoint. While the bikini itself is very simple, it’s flattering in all the right places. High waist bikini bottoms look great on everyone! Ditch the classic straw hat for this funkier alternative – a light pink beach hat. The colours work really well to add Zara’s stunning fish inspired earrings, as well as a beachready blue and white bag. Make sure to pack some black sandals and a white throw over. You’ll be Dahab ready in no time.
