11 Accessories For Your Swimsuit To Update Your Look Without Having To Buy A New Bikini

Swimsuits can be expensive, and you don’t wear them all that often. So instead of buying a new suit, why not invest in accessories for your swimsuit that will update your old one? Whether you own a classic black one-piece or have a floral printed bikini, it doesn’t matter; on-trend accessories can elevate any and every style.

If you want a more casual look, knot a chambray button-up over your suit, or if you are feeling a bit flirty, tie a sarong around your waist. With so many stylish beachwear accessories, the opportunities are endless.

So go forth and see some of my beach to boardwalk must-haves.
