Fashion Uniform:
Bikini + Tunic + Slides
If you’re lucky enough to spend much of August in a tunic, we’d say you’re doing something right. (Truly, there’s no cooler way to beat the heat.) We love how a tunic is universally flattering, particularly if you team one with a pair of no-fuss slides and a classic bikini. Below, a few of our favorite ways to cover-up this summer.

FLOAT ON
Make no mistake: This goop Label Deedee Kaftan is unapologetically dramatic, yet nails that whole summer wardrobe one-and-done thing perfectly. When it comes to what lies beneath, we like the striking acid-yellow pop of this bikini. (It’s ultra-flattering and the high-waist bottom means everything stays put.) The simplicity of these criss-cross slides ensure they’ll log in hours with you at the pool–and do double duty if you’re running around town.

STITCH FIX
Florals, embroidery, stripes—it’s all of our favorite things about summer style in one. The trick to mixing prints is to keep everything in a similar palette: This triangle bikini is a classic (we love how you can tie it at the neck, halter-style, or wear with the straps attached to the back), while the embroidered tunic has a playful, far-flung feel in a wearable cotton. Just add a floppy sunhat plus throwback-y acetate shades and you’ll want to wear little else ’til Labor Day.

ESCAPE ARTIST
File this under: What you’d want to be wearing as you set off on your next sandy-footed, far-flung adventure. The key to pulling off a bold Ikat print is keeping the rest of your look simple—a classic black bikini in scuba fabric plus wear-everywhere metallic slides is a solid choice.
