A trend this year in swimwear is being called "Brunch to Beach" or "Surf to Street" and it is exactly as it sounds; pieces that will transition easily from brunch to the beach. This trend means that we've got more tankini, swim-skirt and rash guard options not to mention a wide range of cover-ups! I can hear you all cheering... I know I'm excited to see more fabric and to see the little triangle top and Brazilian bottom go away!
I had the opportunity to speak with Kendall Farr from Glamour magazine about this summer's swimwear trends and she had these top tips to share.
- Look for brands that have plenty of fit options. (consider: Land's End, Athleta and Asos)
- Find your "LBS" Little Black Suit. (a black suit that fits you perfectly that can last season to season)
- Embrace the Jetset look. (jewelry and accessories to sass up your suit style)
Trying on swimsuits is no girl's idea of a day at the beach (pun intended) but you can't have one without the other. So, hydrate, eat some avocado (I hear they help bloating) and give it a go.
I also asked her what her Beach must haves are and she's not leaving home without a cover-up that really flatters and 2 inch espadrilles.

YES! Love that idea! We'll need the weather to shape up though... what is with this rain?!
