Being outside and soaking up the sun’s glorious rays is a surefire way to have a good time, no matter where you are. Whether at home in your luxurious garden swimming pool or a far-flung destination with azure waters, you want to look your best. Continue reading to learn more about how to do just that!
Wear a Great Swimsuit
A great swimsuit is one that you feel your best in. Full stop. You get to decide what you wear and how wonderful you look. (You look fabulous, by the way.) That is why the best swimsuit for you, no matter what your body type happens to be, is a black swimsuit.
A black swimsuit is the LBD (little black dress) of swimsuits. It is sleek, stylish, definitely sexy, and anyone can wear one. It is also timeless so you can wear it again and again no matter where your travels take you. Your garden? Check. The Caribbean? Check? The local luxury hotel? Absolutely. The black swimsuit looks chic on its own, under a sarong, or peeking out from a button-down shirt and pair of shorts with espadrilles. The point here is that you have a lot of options.
Find the Perfect Cover-Up
The perfect cover-up will be different for everyone, but the best cover-ups are always versatile. Start with a sarong for ample options to change how you look walking to the pool or beach or when you want to lounge around. Choose a sarong in a colour way that either contrasts with or compliments your gorgeous black swimsuit for extra style and impact.

Always Don a Hat
Hats can make an outfit, and they will do the same for your beach look. With so many hats to choose from, you can pick your favourites. A pro tip is to find ones that are waterproof and designed to roll up to fit into any suitcase or day bag without the worry of crushing it.
A hat is a fashion choice that also happens to be a functional decision. Not only will the widest-brimmed beach hat in a light straw material look great on any skin tone it will also help protect against the sun’s rays. Pick from a range of brim sizes and then personalise it with a band or ribbon colour of your choice. A bonus is that the hat helps add mystery by shrouding you from the gaze of others just a bit.
Put On Fashionable Sunglasses
Nothing says calm, cool, and collected like a pair of stunning sunglasses. They help shield your eyes from harmful UV rays while helping reduce the need to squint. Beyond that, sunglasses are exactly what you need to complete your waterside aesthetic.
When selecting sunglasses, consider your needs. You may want to go with a designer frame and prescription tinted lenses. An alternative is to wear a pair from the fashion house of your liking. Pick a pair that is a little oversized for maximum protection and style.
With these great ideas, you can pull together a fabulous look curated around a new LBS – a little black swimsuit, of course. Pick high-quality pieces to ensure they stand the test of time, put on sunscreen, and then find the perfect place to lounge.
