What to look for

A useful wardrobe piece should be beautiful, practical and connected to the clothes you already own.

01

Breathable fabric with enough coverage

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

02

A cut that works over the actual swimwear you own

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

03

A colour that coordinates with sandals, hat and bag

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

Before buying, apply the Three Outfit Rule: identify three complete outfits using pieces already in your wardrobe. If the combinations are difficult to name, the purchase may be solving the wrong problem.
