Nowadays to be fashionable on the beach a plain swimsuit is in no way enough, every year catalogues renew themselves and it's very important to be always updated. In the last years beach accessories have also taken much importance, as flip-flops, beach towels, but also bracelets and necklaces, and the sarong will still play the lead in beach fashion.



This year beach fashion will also be based on Colombian style, so bikini will be again (but when it was not?) the more fashionable swimsuit. Bright colors, see-through sarongs, and South American patterns: really a wonderful collection.

After winter, also in summer purple and all its nuances will be the most fashionable colors, and then also micro and maxi patterns, safari or jungle prints.

In the bikinis, panties will be bigger, with no or almost no bows. Triangle shaped and push-up bras of course will play the leading role. Around the world of bikini or one-piece swimsuit, which is made with less and less cloth and that now exposes most parts of the body, you can find all beach accessories. Gossamer-like caftans made of chiffon or cotton muslins, hot pants and sarongs.

Beach bags are of great importance, made of canvas or straw, but always enriched by embroidery and appliqu'd flowers, rigorously handmade crochet style and rigorously color-matching with the swimsuit.

It's clear now that you can't go to the beach just with a traditional swimsuit, but the beach has also become an important runaway for who always want to be cutting-edge style. Besides sarongs and caftans, tracksuits, hot pants and soft chenille pants absolutely don't have to miss in your bag. Also toweling accessories have appeared: beach towels, ponchos, beach robe with inlays, with ruches. There are really a lot of alternatives, for all tastes and for every kind of body.

About shoes, ballerinas and flip-flops, made of toweling too, still are really ruling the roost, of every different color but always color-matching with the swimsuit or the sarong.

Given that bikini or at least two-piece are spreading everywhere, one-piece also adapt itself and leave uncovered more and more body parts. Plain color swimsuit almost gives way to prints, French lace inserts, some swimsuit are even full covered with myriads of hand sewed prismatic precious stones.

A necessary accessory in your bag is definitely sun cream, there are any kind of sun creams with any level of protection, the most important thing is that your skin have to be always hydrated and you don't get a sunburn, so in the first days is better to use a bit higher level of protection or you will have to change all your clothes to match with your purple-red skin. It is always better not to overuse of sunbathe, skin is much more fashionable if it is healthy and hydrated even if a bit less tanned.

If you want at all costs an astonishing tan, an always actual trend is sunlamps to do in the city some months before going on vacation. The sunlamps, but used in moderation, will prepare the skin to solar exposition, besides giving you a bit of tan.

After all this preparation, don't forget to enjoy your holiday at the most, relaxing yourself and having fun as much as you can, after all summer is also all these things!
