Fortunately fashion for the beach is more on how to be comfortable than simply wearing the latest outfit and it really doesn’t change that much from year to year as there are not that many items that you wear to the beach that can be changed an so much. Of course you have always had the choice of choosing a swimsuit, or a bikini and now in the last couple of years the monokini as well and then within that choice you have a whole spectrum of colours and designs to suit you, but other than that your basic item is this.

Now what you wear on top of your bathing attire does seem to change a bit more. In the past years the ‘pareo’, the large piece of coloured or flowered cotton that you tie round your waist like a tropical islander, was and still is very popular. You wear it with a tight t shirt or top and this apparel looks good accompanied by a large raffia beach bag where you carry your towel and other necessities and a straw sun hat. (more…)

Have you ever felt that some days you put on an item in your wardrobe and you don’t feel right for the rest of the day and at other times you put something else on and you feel great?

Well it’s probably due to the colour. We all have different skin tones, independent to whether we are black, white, yellow or tanned, and this all makes a difference on how our clothes look on us and the glow that they give to our face.

We can divide our skin tones into the four seasons of the year being winter, spring, summer and autumn and depending on our skin tone, the colour of our eyes and our hair is what will denote into what category we fall into.

You can find out to what season you belong by holding up different coloured scarves up to your face and you will soon realize that certain colours make your skin come alive and others will have a dulling effect on it.

Swimwear for Summer 2009

This summer a lot of women will continue to think about buying themselves a monokini where the top and the bottom of a bikini are linked or seen from another angle where a bathing suit has had the back and midriff area cut away.

This piece of swimwear is quite flattering for women and for anyone who feels that they are maybe a bit past wearing a bikini but don’t want to cover themselves up completely yet with a swimsuit. You could call it the half way mark between bikini and swimsuit. At the same time it is also a great invention, for avoiding those embarrassing moments, while swimming or diving into water, which quite often occurred with the traditional bikini!

As with all fashion, everything is linked and as this year a lot of dresses and shirts have been designed with that ‘cut away’ or ‘off the shoulder’ look so do these trends influence on what we wear to the beach or the pool and the monokini falls into the ‘cut away’ trend.

This year we have quite a few different styles of shoe to choose from, as is usually the case, as there are a whole lot of different women out there all with their unique tastes and needs.

I shall start off by saying that probably the trendiest foot wear on offer at the moment, and the one that seems to be appealing mostly to the young, is the summer boot, either with a heel so high that it could easily give you vertigo or the other extreme which is a completely flat heel. These boots reach just above the ankle and some go half way up the calf but the whole boot is made up of straps with buckles so that you get good ventilation!

Still continuing on from the last couple of years, as it has been such a popular shoe being so very flattering for most women’s feet, is the peep-toe. This summer you can find them in bright and vivid colours and again there are some with very high heels and others with low heels.
