Bathing Beauties

Snake Print Swimsuit by Ted Baker // Boyleg Swimsuit by Boden // Medicine Wheel Printed Bandeau Bikini

The perfect summer suit isn’t something most women I know look forward to finding. There’s the trying on, the sucking in, and the additional shaving. Then there’s all of the styles to choose from: bikini, tankini, bandeau, one piece, cutouts (and my favorite trend this year – reversible). But when you finally land on that just right one, now that’s a good feeling.

Cannonball Twist Bandeau + Reversible Hi-Waist Pant by Lauren Moffatt // The Garance Swimsuit by Laura Marie Fernandez // Tie-Front Tanksuit in Safari Sketch by Madewell

Penelope Floral Belted Bandeau Swimsuit by ASOS // Take Shape Bikini Top + Pant by Seafolly // Panama Reversible Swimsuit by Isabel Marant

Not Your Grandma’s Florals

Floral Rhapsody Collared Blouse from ThreadSence // White Floral Print Shirt Dress from Wallis // Locket Floral-Print Molded Bikini by Nicky Zimmerman

These aren’t you grandma’s florals, that’s for sure. (Unless your grandma is prone to wearing a floral bikini, in which case I would like to make her acquaintance.) Sweet, bold, and everything in between – there’s no wrong way to wear this patterned trend!

Kimono Floral Seductress One Piece by Nanette Lepore // Bella Tropical Floral Body-Conscious Dress by Whistles // Floral-Jacquard Dress by Marni

Swing Dress in Floral Print by Oh My Love // White Lapel Long Sleeve Floral Chiffon Blouse by Sheinside // Jumpsuit in Floral Butterfly Print by Eleven Paris

Pants: Loose + Patterned

Sun Tile Mix Print Palazzo Pants by Ella Moss // Gwen Neon Lights Pants by Elizabeth and James // Garden Daydream Pants by Talulah

This is one of my favorite spring fashion trends – loose patterned pants that can be paired with a simple tee, strappy sandals, and a smile. Some are looser than others, but all look perfectly suited to wear for a good-to-the-last-bite brunch or cookout. Do you think you’ll be grabbing onto this style or have you already?
