Metallic Moments: Subtle Bling

Metallic swimsuits are one thing—and not for the timid, might I add. But a subtler take on summer metal can be modern and elegant. Metal accents like chains, buckles, or brooch-like embellishments can elevate otherwise simple silhouettes or color schemes. Pair with metallic sandals and jewelry to add a bit more pizzazz, if you need.

On the Prowl: Animal Print

If you thought winter was a big season for animal print, get ready to see it even more in the summer. Leopard and zebra prints are classic choices, but for something a little edgier, you can also opt for tiger or snake print for something a little edgier.

Summer Romance: Rosette Renaissance

We saw rosettes everywhere in swim and ready-to-wear several years ago, thanks in large part to Magda Butrym’s feminine aesthetic. Now, they’re making a comeback just in time for a summer to be lived through rose-colored glasses.
