Traveling Home

Memorial Day weekend is here, and this year most people in the U.S. are likely to spend the kickoff of summer — if not the entire summer — at home rather than hitting the road for vacation. But that doesn’t mean one can’t don swimwear, like the Mikoh nylon and Spandex one-piece seen here worn with Choked by Thread earrings and a Celeste Starr ring, even just for sunbathing on the roof. Swimwear sales actually have been trending up recently, and there is still plenty to do.

Channeling the feel-good effect of the Fifties era retro maillots and bikinis and emerged as a prominent trend in swimwear. From pouf-sleeve tops and high-waisted silhouettes to playful prints, here, a modern look at nostalgia in these buy-now styles.
