As the weather seems to be getting warmer here, in Cape Town, the time has come to start thinking about venturing out and making a few necessary purchases. So I thought I would do something fun, to get you in the mood for summer and give you some idea of what’s out there on the swimwear scene.

The look this summer definitely has retro references, with a return to 60’s & 70’s swimwear glamour. One piece costumes are making a big come back, in either bold – solid colours or flirty florals, which are more feminine with flounces and frills.

The trend in bikinis are nude, neutral tones and even shimmery gold’s – if you are looking for a bit more bling. To complete your look, you can shade yourself from the sun with a giant sun hat or tie a scarf around your head for a bit of 70’s styling.

So be daring and try something different this season and whatever your style just have fun with it, it is summer after all! See you on the beach!  😎
