Beach Fashion
One
of the best things about summer is
shopping for new bikinis and beach
outfits. Now that Belle De Jour’s
favorite brands have launched their
fabulous collection for our tropical
weather, summer shopping couldn’t
be more fun.
Bayo
From
swimwear to ready-to-wear pieces,
Bayo’s summer collection is
all about color. Brights and florals
dominate their casual shorts, tops,
and swimwear. You’re sure to
find something the flatters your figure
and suits your personal taste. Are
you a trendsetter? Try their tribal-inspired
pieces. Are you into color? Their
bursts of pink, yellow, green, and
purple are your must-haves. Are you
a classic dresser? Their monochrome
pieces make the perfect basics for
your wardrobe.
Freeway
Freeway
takes a walk into the wild side this
summer. Animal prints have crossed
over from the fall/winter season and
safari-inspired pieces are taking
over their stores. While tribal and
safari fashion is hot, make sure you
don’t overdo it. Pick a few
accessories from their collection
such as scarves, belts, and hats,
and incorporate it into your existing
wardrobe. If you’re more into
their dresses and separates, downplay
the wild fabrics by combining then
with neutral or monochrome pieces.
Karimadon
Known for their affordable yet stylish
dresses, Karimadon takes their summer
inspiration from nature. Aqua shades
and pastel colors dominate their new
collection. And just because the heat
is on, it doesn’t mean you have
to keep your skirts and dresses short
and cropped. Flowing fabrics and feminine
cuts that go below the knees are just
as sexy.
Culte
Femme
Designer
Hindy Tantoco’s take on summer
fashion caters to the chic taste.
Her new stylish dresses are all about
color, but with a more vintage and
Old World appeal. Other than summer’s
staple bright colors, fall’s
monochrome hues such as black and
gray are revived for a tropical feel.
Hindy’s accessories and shoes
also give off an updated bohemian
vibe. If you dare to go beyond the
mainstream trend, Culte Femme’s
gladiator sandals and roman flats
are irresistible choices.
