How should I accessorise?
SN: Go for clean collars or chains with a statement pendant, or accessorise a solid look with a slim belt along with an artistically jewelled buckle. Accessorise swimwear with cover-ups like pareos and sarongs or take it up a notch by pairing them with palazzos and tailored linen shorts.
NM: Pool sliders are a must-have summer sandal. Distinctive gold cuffs and sunglasses are trendsetters. An oversized hat that protects you from the sun is a must. Also, fine gold chains worn with swimwear add a touch of glamour to your look.In pics:
SN: With sporty luxe being the biggest trend this season, retro high-waist bikinis and jersey bracelets will be big. Maillots and one-piece swimsuits will see covered versions, but with slashes and cut-outs that strategically reveal skin. Bold trikinis will also see a cult following.DV: A bold and slinky piece with a cut-away back or sensual tie-up. It’s covered, yet has a point of interest.
NM: Monochrome is one of the hottest trends right now. Try smart colour-clocking or chic nautical prints. They look great on all body types. Bustier tops, ’50s-inspired high-waist bottoms and bandage swimsuits are all in.
