Picking out swimwear that you feel comfortable and confident in can be a challenging task. Selecting the right accessories for your chosen white bikini or swimsuit is another hurdle, but it does not have to be an undertaking that you come to dread every season, as it can be fun to mix and match different items. Here are four accessories to consider wearing with your swimwear.
1. Sunglasses
There are many reasons why you should pair sunglasses with your swimwear, the first being that it is in the best interest of your health and safety to do so. Exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause issues such as macular degeneration and damage to the cornea, and sunglasses help protect the eyes and surrounding skin from these harmful rays.
In addition to adding protection, sunglasses are fashionable and come in various styles such as:
- Aviator
- Tortoise
- Cat eye
- Wayfarer
The style you choose will depend on factors like your face shape, the type of white bikini you have, and your overall personal style.
In addition to the various styles, sunglasses come in other lens colors besides the typical black or brown. Blue or pink lenses, for instance, can spruce up neutral-colored or monochromatic swimwear. Lastly, sunglasses are great for concealing undereye circles resulting from late nights planning your bridal shower.
2. Cover-Ups and Wraps
Cover-ups and wraps are a nice way to add some style and texture to your swimwear outfit. They are especially pleasant to wear if you are somewhere that is a little on the cooler side since cover-ups provide some protection from the wind. Cover-ups and wraps come in many different materials, ranging from silk and cotton to rayon and more, all of which provide different levels of warmth and coverage.
3. Sandals or Flip-Flops
While the feeling of warm sand under your feet can be wonderful, there are times when it is a good idea to have some covering on your feet. These times might include walking on a particularly rocky beach or pool area that could contain broken glass. Footwear is also a great way to pull an outfit together, with flip-flops being more appropriate for casual swimwear and strappy or platform sandals going well with a more formal white bikini.
The footwear you select depends on what your beach activities will be. For instance, an embellished platform sandal might be great for lounging by the pool, but less than ideal for exploring the nearby beach.
4. Tote Bags
Whether you are someone who likes to collect seashells or just wants to have your sunscreen nearby at all times, tote bags are another accessory that can bring utility and fashion to your swimwear. Because tote bags come in all kinds of sizes, you will have no problem choosing one that is manageable to carry while still able to fit all of your belongings.
