What To Wear Where!

Posted on August 11 2023

Whenever we have a customer shopping with us we almost always ask, "Where are you going?" or "Where will you be wearing your new swim?".  We take pride in our expertly curated selection of high quality, fashion-forward swim and resort wear and we love being your one-stop-shop for all of your warm weather ventures.  Outfitting you from head to toe (hats to sandals!) and everything in between is our passion and we love sharing our favorite pieces to pack with us for every occasion from backyard pool hangs to luxury resort vacations.  Check out our picks below for what we are wearing where!

 

Beach Front Resort

Sun, sand, and saltwater are an intoxicating combination.  Daydreaming about our next beach vacay is one of our fave ways to pass the time and planning which beach outfits to pack for a warm weather get-a-way is another one!  We love a bikini that does double duty (and frees up space in our suitcase!) like this reversible one from Maaji.  The matching full length kimono with it's airy fabric and vintage inspired 60's print looks so effortlessly chic while you're sipping drinks at the bar.  We'll also be packing one of our new faves, the Kendal One Piece from L*Space, bust support and a sexy open back, perfect for splashing in the waves before throwing on a breezy cover up like the popular Moroccan Kaftan from Baku.  Accessories in neutral hues allow maximum mix and match possibilities.  These slide sandals from Malvados are comfy enough for long walks on the beach and cute enough for evenings out.  Don't sleep on the best-selling Cannes Bucket Hat from Vitamin A, this trendy little hat has been flying out the door left and right so grab one while you still can!  Now hit the beach!

  

  

  

 

Pool Party 

Frozen drinks, whimsical pool floaties, music pumping, laughter flowing!  We love a summer pool party and dressing for one is just as fun!  Brightly colored swimsuits are the epitome of youthful exuberance and always put us in the party mood.  This bikini from Bond-eye Australia is one-size-fits-most with flirty cut-out details and color contrasting hardware and looks cuter than cute paired with one of the new Smoothies Sarongs from Body Glove.  The Bree One Piece from L*Space is so so sexy in it's smile-inducing green hue and the Hooded Kangaroo Pocket Tunic from La Blanca is the perfect throw-on cover up for when the sun goes down.  Don't forget a tote (this one doubles as an adorable backpack!) and waterproof flip flops like these Playa Sandals from Malvados.

  

  

  

 

Cruise

The vastness of the wide sea set out before you, crisp ocean air, and a myriad of activities both above and below deck, not to mention stops to little island paradises in between. Choosing the right attire for a cruise can feel daunting but don’t stress, we’ve got you! Of course you’ll need a few swimsuits. This strapless bandeau from Seafolly keeps tan lines at bay and is perfectly themed in its “Under The Sea” print and the Natalie Mitre Stripe Triangle and matching Tie Side Bottom from Vitamin A gives off those nautical vibes as well. The Island Goddess Lingerie Maillot from La Blanca is a no-brainer with it’s literally-looks-good-on-everyone silhouette and paired with the La Blanca Island Fare Tunic (a true customer fave!) you’re set for swim days on and off the ship.  Don't forget to bring a wide-brimmed hat like the ultra pack-able Lizzy Hat from Seafolly to stay protected from the sun and a versatile dress that can be worn casual with kicks or slides or dressed up with heels and jewelery for evenings. Right now we are obsessed with L*Space’s selection of dresses, like this Bardot Dress in the sweetest baby blue. Ahoy!

  

  

  

 

Cottage on the Lake

Days spent on the boat, in the water, or sunning on the dock, to evenings around a campfire, or just watching the sun go down from your muskoka chair.  Whether you are headed to a cottage or a cabin by a lake, river, or pond, there is something about being out of the city in the warm weather months that just melts all your cares away.  "Cottage-ing" is a great way to create lasting summer memories with family and friends.  We love wearing low maintenance (and family friendly!) swim pieces like this Ruth Top and Rider Shorts from Body Glove or a comfy, full coverage, and supportive one piece like the Spinnaker D/DD One Piece from Sea Level.  A flattering yet comfortable dress that can be thrown over your swimsuit while you fire up the bbq or make quick trips into town for extra marshmallows is a necessity, this Escape Knit Dress from Koy Resort checks all the boxes.  So throw on a rustic-chic straw cowboy hat like this Raffia Cowgirl Hat from Seafolly and slip into a pair of Malvados Slaya Sandals to greet those long weekends with style!
