A Dozen Pieces to Upgrade Your Waterside Look This Summer
The beach—or pool—is the closest thing we’ll have to a runway this year.
Chances are, your swimming trunks—not to mention your beach tote and towel—stayed in the back of the closet last year, right next to those long-forgotten suits and high heels.

But as lockdowns and mask requirements continue to lift, the excitement about the upcoming season is especially tangible. “There’s a real buzz in the air,” says Blakely Wickstrom, the founder of swimsuit brand Galamaar in California. “Sales have been great, and they picked up about a month or so earlier than they normally do. People are ready to get out of their living rooms and onto the beach ASAP.”
