Royally Chic: SWIMMING RETRO CHIC

Hooray for Summer! It has been four days since the Summer Solstice that heralded the official start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Depending on where you live I can see the collective rolling of the eye. In either case the warmest days of the year are upon us. Many of us will be seeking solidarity with the masses at pools and beaches around the world. If you are like me you fear the dreaded “B” word. Dare I say “BIKINI”. Say it with me “B.I.K.I.N.I.” Even the fittest of the fit has qualms about showing skin. Although I normally do not care much for fads I am very happy that many boutiques, department stores and other various retailers have embraced the high waist bikini. I think I will stock up just in case they decide to fall out of love with the style. It is classic, chic and just as sexy as any other piece of swimwear. It is also, dare I say “comfortable”. My favorite high waist looks can be mixed and matched. I am currently planning on obtaining a navy blue polka dot bottom, a black and white polka dot bottom as well as a basic black pair. The cool part is that you can buy any kind of top that you would like to go with it, or buy it as part of a set and mix and match that way.
