If you’re not 100% sure about your holiday plans, just make sure they include a whole lot of hanging out by the pool or on the beach. Which brings me to what should be on the top of your to-do list: shopping for new swimsuits.
As soon as spring hits, most women start scrambling to find their stash, only to discover that their swimsuit looks worse for wear and it’s time for some new additions. Just like we change what we wear each season to keep up with current trends, it’s important not to neglect swimwear – especially when there are such beautiful gems out there.
But don’t worry, we’ve done some of the hard work for you and made a list of 2017’s best trends to flaunt at the poolside or the beach this summer. And don’t forget your sunscreen!
Look out for these flattering details to bring your swimwear up to date:
* off the shoulder
* ruffles
* gingham or embroidery
