Wearing swimwear as casualwear can be a fun and stylish way to make the most of your summer wardrobe. Let us show you just how easy it is to turn your swimwear into a fashionable look with our top styling tips and tricks to transition your swimwear from day to night.
Styling your bikini top
There are many stylish ways to incorporate your bikini top into your existing wardrobe, effortlessly achieving a chic and fashionable ensemble. Transform your bikini top into a trendy crop and pair it with high waisted shorts, skirts or pants. For some extra coverage, layer with a lightweight kimono, open shirt or oversized button up. Another way to style the bikini top is to wear it under sheer clothing. To achieve this alluring look choose a simple bikini top to be worn under a sheer top or blouse, and of course don't forget to add a pair of sunnies, jewelry and some sandals or sneakers. In case the weather turns breezy, add on a blazer for extra warmth and a touch of sophisticated style.
To elevate this look for a night time dinner, add some light makeup and a pair of heels or swap out your jeans for a bodycon maxi skirt to create a more formal and elegant look. We've created this look around Sea Level's Honeycomb U Bar Bandeau top and Le Specs Bombshell Sunglasses.
Styling your one piece swimsuit
Transform your one piece swimsuit into a versatile bodysuit alternative with these style tips. Explore a variety of one-piece options to switch up your look, from high neck, halter, square neck and plunge styles. For a chic daytime ensemble, team your one-piece with some denim shorts, trousers or a flowy skirt and a pair of comfortable sneakers.
Elevate your look by adding some stylish sunglasses and bag! Embrace the current trends of assymettry and cut-outs this season for a touch of fashion forward flair. Pair your one-piece cut-out with a maxi skirt, mini skirt or a linen pant along with your beloved sandals, creating the perfect outfit for beachside drinks on a warm evening. We've styled this look around the Jets Jetset Sleevless High Neck One Piece and Le Specs Outta Trash Sunglasses.
Styling your bikini bottoms
Elevating your bikini bottoms into a casual daytime look, away from the water, can yield a comfortable and stylish appearance that you're sure to love. If you happen to own a pair of high-waisted, boy leg bikini bottoms, you're in luck. These bottoms can serve as the foundation for a great outfit, whether you're planning a brunch catch-up or a coffee date.
Treat your boylegs like your cherished bike shorts to fashion a trendy look. To achieve this style, pair them with an oversized shirt, a crop top, or a graphic tee. Complete the outfit with some high socks and sneakers and accessorize with a tote bag and a trendy cap for a sporty chic look. The sheer dress trend is currently at it's peak, so hop on the bandwagon and style your sheer dress with a pair of your much loved bikini bottoms. For our day time look, we've styled the It's Now Cool Contour Duo Shortie with Ripcurl's Surf Spray 5 Panel Cap and Billabong's Day For It Beach Bag.
Styling your cover up
If you own a plain or stylish cover up, like a breezy beach dress, maxi skirt, kaftan or sarong wear it as you would a casual everyday dress! For a relaxed and laid-back daytime look, pair your cover-up with some comfortable sandals, stylish sunnies and minimal jewelry.
To transition your kaftan into the ideal brunch outfit, simply compliment it with espadrilles, a bag and understated jewelry. If planning to wear your cover-up for an evening occasion, add a pair of comfortable heels, a chic clutch and a belt to accentuate your silhouette, ensuring you look fashionable and put-together. We created this look with Seafolly's Chiara Cover Up and hair claw with the Gregory Ladner Panel Stripe Straw Tote and Le Specs Plastic Measures Sunglasses.
Creating casual looks with your swimwear has never been so easy! Having some staple, neutral pieces are key to creating a range of wearable looks. When it comes to styling remember to mix and match items from your swimwear collection with other pieces in your wardrobe to create a balanced and stylish look. Pay attention to colours, patterns and overall aesthetics to ensure that your outfit comes together seamlessly.
