Michelle Roe El Paseo

 

With summer upon us, we've put together the best looks, caught you up on the latest trends, found out what is inspiring designers, and put it all together into your Summer 2015 summer shopping picks.

Is there such a thing as the perfect bathing suit? Maybe. But in the meantime, we've kept in mind support, adjustability, padding, and coverage for both the ladies and gentlemen.

Bathing Beaus

Be bright, be colorful.

 

Trunks in bright, graphic, and nautical colors — white, navy, sky blue, and red — sail onto the pool deck. Plain fronts give way to side-pocket seams, and some pieces feature a waterproof, handy back-pocket zipper to store notions.
