Summer fashion tips from Alexandra Munzel
The sun-kissed days of summer are just around the corner. Sunscreen spans the store shelves, college students rush to the beach in droves and children flood the tidal pools as a source of entertainment.
In the haste of taking a cool water dip, however, don’t leave your fashion sense behind.
This season’s biggest poolside and beach-goer trend is a true throwback to vintage swimwear.
Think “pin-up,” think “Marilyn” and look for the best boyfriend bottoms for your figure. The most flattering bathing suit will depend on the size of one’s derriere. A full-coverage suit works the same as one with minimal coverage: They both enhance the size of the bottom.
Look to show some skin, just not too much or too little.
Keep things cool and cover up with a pair of fabulous shades, a large brimmed sun hat and dresses that emphasize coverage with a stylish twist.
