The Winter Getaway: Stylish Bathing Suits
Mila Grgas, Writer
We know, you’re buying your clothes off Instagram nowadays. You’re not alone. Instagram has changed fashion forever, and there are Insta-famous designers who have some serious skills. It used to be if you didn’t have your suit by early summer, you’d be shut out of a new bikini or maillot for the season. Not anymore. Here are the most stylish bathing suits to put on the shopping list. After all, you have to be ready for St. Barths and Mustique whenever the opportunity arises.
WET Swimware
WET encompasses resort chic. The brand’s bright and bold swimwear features large patterns that translate into stylish bathing suits. WET leans towards the natural environment. It’s the perfect suit to sit in your private plunge pool on safari or relax under a waterfall in Costa Rica.
These lovely bathing suits, of course, come in a variety of cuts and styles, but the one that stands out the most is the Meilani. A front bodice decorated with piping mat reminds you of a straw umbrella or a palm tree. At just $168, this piece redefines sexy. WET believes in the divine feminine; its women-designed products reveal an inspiration that comes directly from nature.
Agua Benita
Colombia is hot, and it’s not just because of the weather. The designers at Agua Bendita have made a big splash on the fashion scene. Agua Bendita brings a certain youthful joy to these bathing suits, balanced perfectly with maturity in every piece.
One highlight is a suit from the Dust collection in the Oria New Silhouette. Here, the puff sleeves and the twisted centerpieces are presented in neutral tones. The Coleen Reversible with hand-crafted details, from the Arabella collection, does the opposite. Here, the cut is much more simplistic, but the print is wild and free.
Lisa Marie Fernandez
This collection of bathing suits will help you keep that French-girl aesthetic, even poolside. Lisa Marie Fernandez’s creations are elegant but flirty. The one pieces are as flattering as a bikini, as is obvious with the Mira White Bonded Flounce Maillot. The Farrah Fuchsia PVC Maillot is beach-club-appropriate but, once again, flattering. The Fernandez line of swimwear is timeless and in style…without trying too hard.
