A coordinating cover-up

“You can’t go wrong with a Missoni cover-up. The brand’s instantly recognizable print looks so chic over a solid swimsuit and is the perfect choice for a beach club on holiday. Meanwhile, Savannah Morrow delivers beautiful, minimalist designs that are crafted in LA using hand-dyed fabrics and zero-waste techniques. When I’m in the mood for making a statement, Pucci’s striking swirl print has a retro-glam feel that’s ideal for dressing up at the beach.”

The essential swimsuit

“Everyone needs a Hunza G swimsuit in their wardrobe. The brand’s signature seersucker style fits like a glove and feels exceptionally comfortable. Another of my favorite brands is Marysia – its scallop-inspired design is timeless, and the swimsuits come in so many different styles, depending on your desired level of coverage. For something more fun, I love Australian label Peony – its pretty floral prints are soft and dainty, and most pieces have a cover-up to match.”

Sleek sunglasses

“I can’t help but reach for my Celine Eyewear sunglasses every time I leave the house – they instantly elevate any outfit. Another pair I added to my wish list recently are aviator-style sunglasses by Bottega Veneta; I love fresh takes on vintage styles and the brand offers sleek, square-shaped frames, too. Colorful lenses are also one to consider for elevating your beach looks, with Lexxola’s distinctive designs adding a cool touch to summer outfits.”
