IFM LOVES | TIMELESS SWIMWEAR

It’s swimsuit season! From bikinis to bandeau tops – summer is the perfect time to explore different swimwear. Designers like Tommy Hilfiger, Chanel, Michael Kors and Missoni presented beautiful beachwear at S/S 2016. Taking cues from those and adding some of our timeless favourites, here are 5 swimsuit styles to add to your collection.

Nautical

This look is inspired from the sea and meant for seaside vacations – you can never go wrong with it! Blue, white and red stripes are the classic element of this kind of swimwear. Pair a striped bikini top with a single-toned frilled brief – girly and glamorous.

Bohemian

Colourful stripes and crochet are the two biggest trends for swimwear this season. A knitted crochet swimsuit in bright colours has definitely become a must-have with crochet lending it that rustic, carefree bohemian feel.

Retro

What can we say – retro is always in fashion! The high-waisted bikini trend is back with a modern update with sheer panelling, mismatched sets and bandeau tops - it’s time again to sport retro swimwear styles.

Off-shoulder

The ‘cold shoulder’ trend has effortlessly transitioned into swimwear. Ruffles, flouncy sleeves and bandage bikini tops have made it to our lust-worthy list. Off-shoulder styles (also known as flamenkini) accentuate your bust and are a flattering choice for swimwear.

Monokini

Call it the extended Baywatch fever but we are always in for the one-piece swimsuit. You can get one in a single solid colour (refer Kendall Jenner, Nina Dobrev), or be a bit daring and try one with animal print on it. Look for interesting cut-outs, lace and fringe details to add some drama to the simple monokini.

IFM Pro Tip | Swimsuits are typically sized smaller than clothes because they are meant for a snug fit. So, always try on a few before making the purchase.
