How to style your swimwear all summer long

We’re in holiday mode now, which means wearing swimwear… always. Here’s how to create an outfit around your two-piece.

01

A body base

Your summer swimsuit has a remarkable likeness to that neutral body you’ve been eyeing up. Opt for a classic-cut one-piece in the colour of your choice and wear it beneath tailored shorts for summer-in-the-city chic. Finish the look with chunky sandals and sunglasses.

02

Smart shorts

Go from pool to party with ease with slim-cut swim shorts in summer’s standout shades – we’re loving classic navy or laid-back khaki green. For smart-casual style, wear yours with a loose-fit linen shirt on top and pristine trainers. This pair from Tommy Hilfiger is set to be a wardrobe faithful.

03

Tailoring with a twist

Make your bikini office-appropriate by using it as a crop top. Layer a bralette-style bikini top underneath a blazer for an elegant twist, especially when paired with high-waisted trousers and a chunky chain necklace and earrings.

Sheer style

While we might not be brave enough to don a spaghetti-strapped bikini top alone, the style – especially one in a vibrant pattern or colour – makes an excellent base layer beneath this summer’s must-have sheer top. Pair it with worn denim and sandals to keep it casual. This floral design from Claudie Pierlot or monochrome turquoise number from Tommy Hilfiger would definitely make an impression.

Head-turning appeal

Maximalism is back. The best way to achieve it? In head-to-toe colour. To make your swimwear work all day long, try colour-coordinating your swim shorts with an equally bright T-shirt or button-down shirt. A bold coral pair might look minimalist, but they’re instantly eye-catching when paired with a matching top.
