Okay, hear me out! This summer, try wearing your bathing suit under your normal clothes. For an event a few weeks ago, I paired a scalloped bikini top and a pair of high waisted shorts together and I loved the way it looked! I know I’ve talked about how to wear your bathing suit on the streets while vacationing, but this was the first time I did it in my everyday life!
To give it more of a dressed up vibe, I threw an oversized blazer (like this one) on with a pair of knockout red heels. I love that I can wear the shorts and bikini top paired with some cute sandals and a sun hat for a warm summer day as well. The trick is to wear high waisted shorts and a bikini top (or even crop top) with more coverage, that way you can still be covered up while still showing a little mid-drift.
If you don’t like showing your mid-drift, wearing a cute one piece bathing suit (like this one or this one) is a great substitute for a body suit! And just like that, you’ve doubled your summer wardrobe. 😉
What do you guys think about wearing your bathing suit as normal clothes? Let me know in the comments below and have a great weekend!

I always struggle with what to wear on a hot day when I want to go to the beach or the pool after a day in class 🙂
So thanks for the tips!
And the shoes are to die for! 🙂

I love the Gucci Bag.
Not sure about a bathing suit under – because I wouldn’t wear a bikini top – need more support.
Plus a full piece means that you aren’t wearing cotton underwear which is bad for your lady parts health…

Love the shorts look, it is so cleverly designed with a sexy stretch down the side, but it’s actually proper lined and tricked the eyes so beautifullly! Love ❤️ the look! 🙂
