Models-off-duty: it takes a two-piece

Hotel pools and ocean views. Follow the lead of Bambi and Dilone and float on in the bikini that speaks to you. There are no rules.

Matchmakers

Let’s take it back to the two-piece. Paired ensembles were on high rotation on the SS 17 runways. We always wanted a twin.

In the hoop

Large, small or curly. Gold or silver. Whatever the style, SS 17 sought after statement-making hoops. Round and round.

Models-off-duty: lycra lovers

The time for that pre-Christmas workout is now. Whether it’s a beachside boxing session á la Georgia Fowler or a team effort as per Adriana Lima, be sure that you’re dressed to break a sweat.

Spin me round

Free flow. From Dion Lee’s tonal silhouettes to Céline’s soft dreams, SS 17 saw full skirts take centre stage.

Models-off-duty: to the brim

They’re back and fresher than ever. Make like Nicole and Erin and shade your face with a felt fedora. No hat no play.

Talking heads

From Christian Dior’s feminists to the hustlers at Hood By Air, SS 17 proved that slogan tees are a sure way to get your message across. Speak to me.

Models-off-duty: white on

There’s no such thing as too simple. Ripped, rolled or cuffed: make like Maartje, Iman and Bambi and be casting-ready in your plain white tee.

Small packages

From one extreme to the other. Along with oversized offerings, SS 17 brought forward miniature bags to hold little more than the most essential. The tinier the better.

Cinch it

From Burberry Runway to Balenciaga, and Bottega Veneta. SS 17 saw strong emphasis on the belted waist.

The big short

Come into my office. Not a style to be kept in the realms of business casual: the SS 17 runways saw designers shortening the shirtsleeve. A new everyday essential for when the heat is on.

Tie-dye high

Be inspired by Off-White and Preen by Thornton Bregazzi; let your psychedelic side run free. Tie-dye was in full flight for SS 17.

Room for more

Think bigger: large scale and oversized bags took over this season. From Céline, to Loewe, and Balenciaga of course, SS 17 was built for more.

Love triangles

Miu Miu, Missoni and more were swim fans for SS 17. This season, bikini tops are a staple to be taken far beyond the beach.
