Crochet is having a moment
In addition to creating beachwear, crochet can also add a playful touch to a shop today. Adult crochet hats are similar to baby bucket hats, with vibrant details and unique patterns. These beach hats can dress up your look and can be worn anywhere from a beach bar to a boardwalk restaurant. Beach-friendly crochet bikinis are also available. Designers from Italy’s Missoni have been producing crochet swimsuits for years, but a new crop of designers have made a splash with modern versions.
One-piece swimsuits
Stylish and flirty, one-piece swimsuits are the perfect beach fashion for hot destinations. From Mexico to Hawaii, bright one-pieces are a must-have this summer. Even if you don’t plan on going on a tropical vacation, you can still look great in a swimsuit. A tropical floral one-piece swimsuit features a tummy-control panel, deep V-neck, and multi-stripe detailing on the back. This style also accentuates curves, and users appreciate how they show off their figure. One-piece swimsuits come in a variety of tropical patterns, sizes 0-16, and 16-22 Plus.
Terrycloth
This summer, terrycloth is a hot beach fashion trend. Originally made in 19th-century France, terrycloth is a breathable, midweight knit fabric with uncut loops that lend extra surface area. It is also known for its moisture-wicking properties. With its popularity growing, terrycloth is sure to continue to make a splash. It is an ideal material for lounging by the pool or al fresco dining.
Printed shirts
Printed shirts are a fun way to incorporate pattern into your beach ensemble without having to wear an extra neckpiece. Printed shirts are often made from wispy viscose, which makes them incredibly light and airy. Printed shirts are also ideal for showing off your tan in the evenings, and they are a beach fashion staple for any beach bum. The shirts are easy to wear and look great when paired with shorts, jeans, or chinos. To keep your silhouette sharp, wear a dark pair of chinos with the shirt.
Straw tote bags
If you’re looking for the perfect bag for the beach, consider the latest in straw tote bags. Straw totes are a great way to express your personality, and you can find all sorts of trendy styles available at affordable prices. Straw totes come in a variety of materials, from handwoven to stiffer. For a unique design, try a straw tote with raffia details and a vegan leather trim. These beach bags will be durable and easy to clean, so be sure to follow directions for washing.
