Prints and finishes to watch
- Ribbed and textured fabrics make even neutral colors feel new. - Shimmer and metallic finishes catch the light on the beach. - Small florals and polka dots feel retro without being loud. - Color blocking, like brown with cream, is an easy way to wear two trends at once.
How to pick a color for your skin tone
- Warm undertones (golden or peachy skin): yellow, olive, coral, chocolate. - Cool undertones (pink or bluish skin): cobalt, berry, lilac, true red. - Neutral undertones: you can wear most shades, so pick by mood. - Deep skin tones: bright colors like cobalt, yellow and orange pop beautifully. - Fair skin: soft pastels and rich jewel tones can both look great.
These are starting points, not rules. Your hair color and the light at the beach matter too.

Trend vs. classic: what to buy
- If you buy one suit, choose black, navy or chocolate. They stay in style. - If you already have basics, have fun with one trend color like butter yellow or red. - Light colors can look sheer when wet, so check for a lining.
