Creating new looks from existing pieces |
At SwimSerene, we are trying to push slow fashion. Slow fashion opposes fast fashion and promotes ethical and sustainable production and consumption of fashion.
Instead of buying a new bikini for each day of your holiday (although tempting), it is much better for the planet to buy a select few of 'investment' pieces and style these with accessories or other garments to create different looks. In this blog we are exploring different ways to do so.
In this blog there are links to some products that we think would be great paired with our bikinis. Sometimes, sustainable items can be quite pricey. If you ever feel like small businesses or slow fashion boutiques are out of your budget then don't hesitate to look on websites like vinted or depop for second hand pieces!
Versatile Bikini Pairings
A bikini is not just for the beach; it can be a foundational garment for various outfits. Pair your bikini with denim Shorts for a casual, chic look. Perfect for lunch by the beach after sunbathing all morning or a sunny bbq in the back garden; denim shorts are definitely an essential.
Your bikini can transition smoothly into various settings. Try pairing your bikini top with wide leg trousers or a maxi skirt for an effortless, stylish look suitable for many occasions. This not only extends the versatility of your swimwear but also aligns with the slow fashion ethos of utilizing what you own to its fullest potential.
Additionally, a bikini top can double as a stylish bralette under sheer or open tops.
Accessorizing with Jewellery
Elevate your bikini with accessories. You can use jewellery to easily dress up or down your outfit. Jewellery is so expressive and it is so much fun to pick out pieces that really reflect your style. You can use stacking necklaces to create all types of looks from boho and beachy to classic and elegant.
Mix and Match for New Looks
Embrace the art of mixing and matching to create a plethora of looks with just a few pieces. Combine different bikini tops and bottoms from to change it up and find the most flattering look for your body. This approach maximizes your wardrobe's potential while adhering to slow fashion principles.
Accessories, Accessories, Accessories
Accessories are key in transitioning a look. Stylish caps, bucket hats or beach hats all create very different looks but they all serve the same purpose; they protect your face and hair from the sun whilst also adding flair to your outfit.
Then there is your bag. Weather your a tote girl or a small shoulder bag kinda girl, we can all agree that your bag makes all the difference to your outfit. Our main rule is: always match your bag to your shoes!
Weather you're going for an ever reliable trainer or dressing up your beach look with some platform espadrilles. Matching your bag to your footwear always brings a sense of completion to your outfit.
In conclusion, styling your bikini for slow fashion is about embracing versatility, sustainability, and creativity. It's a way to express your personal style while making a positive impact on the environment and supporting ethical practices in the fashion industry.
