Miami swim week wrapped up this week, but swim season in Miami is never over. While I personally can’t get enough of strappy one-piece suits (how do they get into those things?) and sky-high wedges, some trends work better off the runway and on the beach than others. Here are some ideas to get you through summer in south beach (or anywhere!):

1. Trade in basic braids for a fishtail. Quick and easy (my friend literally did mine in two minutes on the train ride to the Cannes film festival), this look is great for summer and pulls a look together. The messier, the better.

2. Try out a turban. Turbans graced the runways (again) and surprisingly enough, look great with swimwear. Instead of investing in this trend, take a scarf and create a DIY turban. The best part is this makes a bad hair day not so bad. When you’re ready to leave the beach, turn the scarf into a sarong. Voila! Two looks in one.

3. Give crochet an update. Boho chic works in swimwear as well with crochet knit tops. But what gives this trend a more modern look is when a suit is made from spandex and nylon. Appropriate for pool parties or actually entering the pool, this suit will make you stand out from the rest of the pack. And it almost seems practical too!
