Take swim shorts beyond the pool
No longer just for doing lengths at the lido, swim shorts have made the transition to acceptable dry-land attire; try a tropical palm-print pair for a fast-track way to add some colour to your holiday wardrobe. Team with a T-shirt, sliders and a reversible bucket hat for a laid-back daytime look. Swap the T-shirt for a long-sleeved chambray shirt and switch sliders with leather sandals for playing cards with a beer at a beachside bar. Don’t forget to load up on a high SPF sunscreen when exposing skin to the summer sun, reapplying regularly after swimming and towel-drying.
