5 Ways to Style Swimwear When You're Not on Holiday
Shopping for swimwear in 2020 might not have quite the same wanderlust appeal as it would on a normal year of jet-setting, however, after talking to various friends and colleagues it seems as though our appetite for spending on winning swimmers hasn't totally disappeared during the lockdown. So, whether you're lucky enough to have your own garden at home or just happy to head to a nearby park, we can all get in the holiday spirit this summer by donning our favourite swimsuit and soaking up some rays staycation-style (with plenty of SPF, obvs).
But alas, this isn't quite the French Riviera, so we can't just pad around in our bikinis all day, however, over the last few weeks, I've seen so many stylish individuals on Instagram repping enviable outfits that perfectly incorporate their swimwear with this year's key summer buys. We're talking short-sleeve shirts, straight-leg jeans, retro prints and linen blouses. Oh, and a good dose of delicate gold jewellery.
So if you're in the mood to channel some escapist spirit, make like Charlotte Khurt, Lucy Williams and Chrissy Ford et al and get ready to style-up your swimwear with plenty of personalty this June. Scroll down to see how.
