Experimentation in beachwear look with some bold cuts in bikinis, tankinis, sarongs and more have become a recent obsession amongst Indians and one can add more fun to this look by adding some minimalistic accessories or going for smart cover ups, says an expert.
Fashion stylist Anuradha Singh shares some of the most voguish beachwear styles that you can adorn for your upcoming summer vacation by the sea.
* Cool crop tops: The high-neck crop tops trend is being carried over from last year and will be all the rage in 2016 as well. It's flattering, feminine and extremely comfortable. You can choose from lots of colour and print options.
Chic swimwear designs: This year plunging necklines, high-waist bikini bottoms, extreme cut-outs, fringes, teeny-tiny ruffles and off-shoulder silhouettes will all be extremely trendy. The classic one-piece swimsuit with sexy lace-ups is also making a comeback in a huge way. Also Retro designs, animal prints, florals, paisley, stripes, crochet, turquoise and gorgeous orange are making a huge trend.
* Coquettish cover-ups: An essential part of sporting the stylish beach look is a cover-up as it adds mystery before the final reveal! Team up your bikini or monokini with a nice printed wrap skirt, chic lacy romper with long sleeves, a bell-sleeve tunic, an easy-to-slip-in shirt dress or the ever-so-comfortable Kaftan.
* Accessories: Accessorise your enviable swimwear with minimalist add-ons like simple studs or drop earrings, necklaces and bracelets and team them up with a pair of round, printed sunnies or reflectors to add a little bit of spunk. A panama hat will not only make you look classy but will also give you protection from direct sunlight.
