MESH
It's a perfect mix of sporty and sexy. And if bold cut-outs are not your thing, start with this.   

RUFFLES & FRILLS
Cutesy frills don’t need much, though boyish accessories like pool slides will add the right amount of cool. 

FOLIAGE PRINTS
Go wild with leafy patterns and textured gold accessories for tropical glamour.

BANDEAU TOPS
Try these strapless numbers in knots and twists. Don't want to show off too much skin? Pair your bandeau top with high-waist bottoms. 

CUT-OUTS
Flashes of skin are easier to deal with when against a black canvas.

FOLKLORIC PATTERNS
Add a touch of tough to this boho style with strong metal accessories.

RETRO
This ’50s style in gingham checks is perfect to camouflage those not-so-toned bits and turn heads while you’re at it.
