Although it may not feel like it in some parts of the world, summer is officially here, so there is nothing like a little preparation to calm the chaos of last minute bathing suit shopping. Whether you’re on the beaches of San Tropez, the shores of Malibu, or lounging poolside at a BBQ, we’ve got you covered. For a casual or glam look, bathing suits by Diane Von Furstenberg will certainly fit the bill. Whether wearing her sexy, yet subdued black one-piece, or her hip black and white printed bikini, you are guaranteed to look fabulous. However, a bathing suit isn’t the only thing you will need for your summertime fun…you have to something to wear over it, right? If it is a more casual look you desire, we love Sretsis’ “Make my Heart Melt” tee or tank, paired with denim high-waisted shorts, by eco-friendly line Alexx Jae & Milk (Rachel Bilson has been spotted sporting these around town), finished off with a pair of Bernardo metallic or black thongs. For a more glamorous beachside look, Diane Von Furstenberg’s leopard-beaded caftan is sure to amp up the chic factor. Finish off the look with adorable lace front thongs by Elizabeth and James. Either combination will make a splash, and with your outfit taken care of, all you need is sunscreen and confidence! -Lindsay Flans
