This month we continue our new feature: Style Statements with Amy. Her articles will focus on the fun ways you can bring fashion into your life: 

Summer has finally spoken! With warmer weather comes less layers so let’s capitalize on that with some chic beachwear. It’s not all about the itsy bitsy teeny weenie string bikinis anymore; lasses are covering up with pin up, 1950’s inspired suits have a higher waist on bottoms, strategic seaming on tops and sassiness all over.  

I will never get bored of saying, body conscious clothing prevails even in the summer’s sands.

Boys-It is time to show some skin, I want to see thigh. The styles of swimwear for men this season are marbled with Euro flavor so shorts lengths have risen a few inches. Don’t fret; this is still a Speedo free zone. Unless you are a 30 year old hairless Italian in peak physical condition. And even then I’m not sold. But to everyone soaking up sun this summer show your style by personalizing, accessorizing, stay classy and don’t forget your sunscreen. See you at the beach!
