Whether you’re going to a beach party or having a get-together by the pool, you’ll need to dress up your swimwear to a certain extent and make it look more put together. Today’s social media divas and beloved celebrities are a massive source of inspiration for our current trends, which only makes it that much easier for us to stay in the know and follow all the fascinating trends, from layering a two-piece under a see-through top to covering everything with a sassy sarong and topping it off with a pair of fancy shades.
Wrap it up
Nothing is going to upgrade your swimsuit as much as a nice light dress. A wrap dress combined with sandal wedges and a stack of bracelets, to give you just a little bit of an off-beach vibe, is all you need for an afternoon by the pool. If you opt for a two-piece, feel free to throw over a wrap top, and accessorize with hoop earrings and a straw hat. Let your hair loose and flaunt those beach waves.
Layer it up
If you want a true a la Kardashian vibe, layer a see-through top over your bikini top and finish the look with a pair of retro shades. You can never go wrong with a bit of an old-school feel, so think about layering your overall shorts over your favourite bikini, and don’t forget a summer hat. To complete the outfit, you can match either a pair of trendy sandals or sneakers for the ultimate laid-back look. A maxi skirt over a halter-neck swimsuit is just the perfect way to add an elegant summer touch to your swimwear.
Loose and trendy
To get that relaxed yet chic vibe, feel free to wear a loose white unbuttoned shirtdress over your favourite one piece swimsuit and further style it with stylish sunglasses. A pair of sandals and a crossbody bag is all you need to look fab at the next poolside party. Are you thinking about heading to the bar right after you’re done with the beach? In that case, layer your animal print one-piece under a pair of jean shorts, and an unbuttoned white shirt. Throw over a trendy bag and a gold chain necklace, and think about accessorizing with a bandana that you’ll wrap around like a headband. If you opt for a bikini, you might want to add cotton shorts to the entire ensemble and dress up the look by layering necklaces you can match with stud earrings.
Boho vibes
Coachella couldn’t be here sooner, and if you want to breathe in some boho spirit to your next beach gathering, think about styling your crochet two-piece with white denim shorts and a white dress shirt you’ll wrap at the bottom, and add just a hint of a Western feel with a wide buckle belt. With a vintage necklace around your neck and a pair of aviator sunglasses, you’ll have a complete look for your pool party and the next Coachella.
Boyish look
To go a little bit tomboy and introduce a rather sportier look to your next get-together, feel free to dress up your swimsuit with sporty shorts, a ball cap and a fanny pack. Don’t be afraid to add a few practical details and throw over a backpack if you need more room for your belongings. A sports watch and a pair of sunglasses, and you can head from the beach straight to a basketball game.
Say yes to a kaftan
The one piece of clothing that will tone up your swimwear and make it more put together is certainly a chic kaftan. Throw it over your swimsuit, add a statement belt to it, accessorize with a delicate necklace and a pair of hoop earrings, and all you need to make the look beachy elegant is a pair of sandal wedges. With a wide-brimmed hat and a pair of sunglasses, you’ll look fabulous.
Final thoughts
With a few stylish accessories and a little bit of creativity, styling up your swimwear has never been easier. Just decide what tone you want to add to your entire ensemble, and you’ll have no trouble picking out your next trendy combo.
