“Sequin trends aren’t just for the holidays. More and more, we are seeing sequins implemented into summer wardrobes. Don’t be afraid to pair light sequins with a matching color or complementary fabric.”

“Once reserved for conservative beachgoers, one-piece swimsuits have made a comeback. Welcome this summer trend by experimenting with multiple styles and a complementary cover-up or pantsuit.”

“Embracing your curves is so important when it comes to beachwear. Find a bathing suit or cover-up that falls and hugs in all the right places. Fringes and tribal prints can do wonders for your figure and your confidence.”

—Lilly

“Black and white fashion never goes out of style. A backless black jumpsuit provides a flattering alternative to your typical on-the-town options. White showcases your tan and, when featuring a high slit, lends a discernible sexiness to your summer look.”

“Beach vacations require quick, simple wardrobe changes at a moment’s notice. Turn heads by pairing your beachwear with a matching maxi or headpiece. A pop of color or animal print will only enhance the trend.”

—Lindsey
