Local, leggings, and experimentation: These are not your “regular” swimwear looks

We don’t need to remind you it’s summer. The harsh, in-your-face heat basically speaks for itself. While we’ve been told to stay indoors if we want to survive the heat wave, that just won’t do. Hell, if this gross election season didn’t stop you from having fun and living out another great summer to remember, best believe the hot temperature won’t either.

Take it from us: Just because you’re sweating, doesn’t mean you can’t be extra with your fashion choices anymore. No sir. We better catch you living it up this summer, having the best attitude about your body, and wearing the best swimwear. With these local brands, you’ve got plenty to choose from.

You can even do a little experimenting. Here’s an idea: pair your tops with bike shorts. Kim Kardashian made a case on how the athletic gear is actually versatile, and okay, we have obviously given in. By pairing it with a complimentary top, you get a modern look. Feel free to do stretches, sip your tea, or do acrobatics.

How about a London Fashion Week-inspired look? But instead of dresses, pair colorful leggings and heels with swimsuits. It’s a whole #lewk even your pet will approve of.

And that cover-up? Yeah, you could use it in more ways than one.
