HOW TO STYLE SWIMWEAR
When it comes to living, (or holidaying), on the Gold Coast, swimwear is certainly not restricted to the pool or ocean. If styled correctly, it’s your full-day outfit that is set to turn heads – from the beach, to the bar, and beyond!
Styling swimwear requires a fusion of polished, yet breezy, sun-friendly pieces that are lightweight in fabric; with modern, resort-ready fashion and accessories.
Just as a swimsuit is a bold statement of style and confidence, swim cover ups, sets, sarongs and headwear serve to complement and enhance that statement.
Here are 6 stylish and sun-safe pieces perfect to be worn on and off the sand:
Kimonos/Robes
Wear it, tie it, wrap it as you please; a contemporary summer favourite to accompany swimwear is a stunning kimono or robe. So easy to pack in the holiday suitcase, this is the chicest, show-stopping piece of the Summer season.
Say Hello to Sheer
Suited best for those looking to get a little cheeky, a sheer dress or skirt over a bikini is a touch of glamour perfect for an event. Worn to Summer music festivals or pool parties with a sneaky glimpse of swimwear underneath. A chunky necklace, jewelled belt and sunglasses make this look iconically cool.
Summer Sets
Matching beach pants and shirt are perfect for the more modest and sun conscious dresser. Versatile, comfortable and coordinated; a set over swimwear compliments what already is, and requires no outfit change. Simply add summer accessories for a fully dressed look.
Playful Crotchet
Breathability and effortless style is exactly what you get when you pair crochet and swimwear. A true match made in heaven, the luxe texture of crochet and modern silhouettes, seamlessly delivers an ‘IT Girl’ summer outfit. Paired perfectly with seashell jewels and platform thongs.
Sarong/Cover Ups
An absolute must-have for a quick and convenient cover up, a sarong can be styled as a halter top, skirt, twisted dress and more over a swimsuit. Perfect for beach days or lounging poolside, a longer, dressier cover-up lifts a swim look to grace and sophistication. Styled best with gold bangles and metal framed shades.
