The sun is nature’s call to head outside and play. If you’re guilty of seeking comfort from the rays in air-conditioned concrete spaces, perhaps it’s time for a change. Going to the beach or hanging out by the poolside is always a great idea. Firstly, the presence of water is always therapeutic, acting as a perfect aid to set your mind free. Secondly, the access to water to extinguish the heat is effortless. Thirdly, you don’t have to wear much to look good. So, we have picked out a few key pieces to jazz up your style under the sun.
Swimwear
An attire that seems to be neglected in the wardrobe of many, the swimwear you put on speaks volume of your style and personality just as much as your sneakers. The Roxy Pop Surf is an iconic swim collection that marries a playful style and technology that allows easy transition from water to sand. Designed for the girls who enjoy water sports, Pop Surf features bold bikinis, psychedelic maillots, cropped swim tops, leggy tank dresses, innovative rashguards, quick-dry boar dies and edgy surf leggings.
For an unassuming classic style, the Le Grande Bleu Eco One Piece Toga from K.BLU’s Resort 2014 collection is a unique one-piece swimsuit that can take you from the beach to the city when worn with a pareo or maxi skirt. The depths and brilliant shades of the ocean are brought to life with a colour palette of azure blue and rich turquoise. It is created for the perfect fit and optimum comfort, with high UV protection and a matte sheen finish.
Shades
Sun’s out, shades on. One winner in the eyewear department this season is Ray-Ban’s Wayfarer Summer 2014 Edition “Iridescence”. The highlight of this new Wayfarer collection is the colour performance of the flash lenses and acetate frames, all of which feature an iridescent reflection which appears fluid. Made of silica micro-crystals, the lenses are coated with highly-refractive metal oxides. Depending on the power and angle of light, they produce various colour shades which blend with one another to produce a “liquid” finish, with a thousand different nuances. The frames undergo the same coating treatment and respond to sunlight with constantly changing colours.
Flip-Flops
Who needs different pairs of flip-flops when you can switch your slippers’ accessories and change your look? The Ipanema Switch-Up collection completes your style under the sun with vibrant hues to match your mood and the sun’s beaming disposition. Each pair of flip-flops comes with additional complementing charms to switch around.
