Summer vacation is the golden jewel within our annual calendars; It’s the perfect time to escape to a world of relaxation, explore new cultures, gain new culinary experiences and most importantly, soak up all that vitamin D! Of course, in order to fully enjoy your vacation, holiday wardrobe essentials are necessary. However, the idea of shopping for the perfect swimwear can be quite intimidating. Many women lack body confidence, and because of the overwhelming societal pressure and beauty stereotypes, it can be easy to feel lost.
If you find yourself struggling with any of the above, then I have some great news: while I was shopping online at Missguided, I found the most glamorous and feminine summer vacation styles to flatter each and every body type! After taking one look, I guarantee you will be feeling so confident this summer that you won’t want to stop showing off your new swimwear! So, without further ado, here are some trendy looks that caught my eye.
One piece swimsuits from the glamorous 80s are back and sexier than ever. When it comes to making a statement on any beach, this hot red bandage lattice side swimsuit will not let you down. Red is suitable for just about every skin type, and the side straps accentuate your curves perfectly. The high cut is such a flattering style for all body shapes, and gives a leg-lengthening illusion. If you don’t have any one pieces in your swim collection for 2017, you really need to start shopping!
On the other hand, if you’re not a fan of the ’80s-esque styling, then I suggest going with something like this girly and playful blue tile print frill bandeau bikini. The bottoms makes your waist look thinner in a very clever way, and the top highlights your neck and décolletage for a stunning, effortless effect. The blue pattern screams summer, and is the perfect match for a trip to an exotic island with crystal clear blue water beaches!
If you’re looking for something a bit more classic, this black mesh insert bikini set is what you need to scoop up. Remember the rule of the little black dress? All women need to have one in their wardrobe, and the same applies for a chic, little black bikini – it never goes out of style! You can adjust the side ties on the bottom according to your body shape, while the transparent detail on the top adds feminine yet sexy charm to the whole look.
Going back to the season’s trendy styles, this year is all about off-the-shoulder and flutter tops, and this pink, tie-dye pattern flare sleeve bardot romper does the job perfectly. You can wear it on top of your bikini as a coverup while drinking cocktails and gazing at the sunset, or to dinner on a warm summer night on the beach! This type of romper flatters all body types and is comfortable and airy, which is a must-have for the summer heat. Also, the pink pattern will brighten your complexion and highlight your tan!
Moving along to accessories and footwear, make sure you don’t leave home without these rose gold platform gladiator sandals! The gladiator platform is the latest trend in summer footwear, and these are very easy to walk in since the platform isn’t too high. You’ll add some height and lengthen your silhouette with these recherche sandals, which are basically an Amazonian jewel for your legs. Lastly, top it all off with these gorgeous gold cat eye contrast sunglasses, the perfect finishing touch to your holiday ensemble. The shape of these particular sunnies brings the chic, Hollywood diva out of you and emphasizes your cheek bones in the most wonderful way.
The most important part of feeling good in your swimwear is feeling comfortable with yourself, and in your own skin. Everyone is beautiful no matter what your height, size or style is, so go explore new fits and styles, slip into your swimwear, and enjoy your time in the sun this summer!
