Bali-born label Faithfull The Brand is going to inspire us all to go matchy-matchy with our swimwear and accessories this summer. It’s the new styling trick to try out on the beach…
If you’re lucky enough to have a holiday already in the diary, or you’re not averse to booking a last minute trip, then listen up: there’s a new way to accessorise your swimwear this summer, and it’s inspired by Bali-born label Faithfull The Brand.
The folks behind the cult label created the sellout yellow-jumpsuit-of-dreams that basically took over Instagram earlier this year (it has since been restocked, FYI), and they’re also responsible for making immediate ‘it’ swimwear.
However, it’s the way some of the most stylish women on social have been styling said swimwear that has gained attention from our fashion team: it’s all about matching your bikini or one-piece to your accessories.
That’s right: matchy-matchy accessories in the same print or hue is the way to get dressed for the beach.
And, while Faithfull The Brand has already curated ready-made accessory sets, you can also DIY the trend with our beach outfit options below.
