It's the Summer of the Esther Williams Glamourous Mermaid, Which Means a Classy Old-School White Swimsuit & Oodles of Accessories. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION & ACCESSORIES BLOG
Chanel - Spring 2007
The best swimwear on the spring runways kicked sand in the face of the sexxxy beach bunny, opting instead to pay homage to glamourous old school hollywood starlets and bonafide vixens - like the inimitable Esther Williams.
Get the look with the right foundation piece: a demure high-waisted two piece or classic halter-top one-piece with a flatteringly butt- & hip-concealing bottom half. For glamourous lounging, pile on the bangles, chunky necklaces, oversized white shades and a turban; while in Esther mode, it's all about a retro floral swimcap.
At the end of the day, throw on a matching cropped cashmere sweater & fab but practical kicks - think chic touches like ankle-ties and platforms - and off you go for a round of sunset cocktails.
