Ask A Fashion Editor

YOU ASKED: What are some stylish ways to cover up my skin on the beach?
FASHION EDITOR: Stay cool while still shielding your skin from the suns harsh rays. Accessorizing for pool or beach is almost a given with the plethora of designer shades which offer both UVA protection. Take it up a notch with chic extras. Senior Market Editor Tammy Palmer

 

Michael Kors An oversize floppy hat will give copious amounts of coverage and will give you a bit of glam edge—and it doesn’t have to be the standby beige straw. We love the Michael Kors version in summer-y green. A smaller brim will also do the trick.


La Perla A roomy top or tunic such as La Perla’s will protect the most sensitive of skin—paired with a forties style boy short in the same color, it almost doubles as a bodysuit and is super sleek.


Abaete Pretty parasols paraded down the catwalks this season in prints and solids. Choose a neutral like the one at Abaete or opt for a pretty pastel, print or eyelet for a more romantic look. Virtually a staple in Asia for most gals on bright sunny days, be sure to pop one in your tote en-route to the beach.



For great accessories, check out the following retailers: The Bay, Holt Renfrew, Ardene, Old Navy, Banana Republic, H&M, Aldo Accessories.
