Italy has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and every year more than 60 million visitors flock to the country to spend time on the pristine sands and in the crystal blue oceans. Some of the most popular beaches, such as those in Calabria, Liguria and Tuscany, are not only places to relax and have fun: they are also a great place to see the new trends in beachwear. From the perfect vacation accessories to some stylish swimwear, there are lots of exciting fashions to take inspiration from. 

Bold bikinis

Bikinis will never go out of fashion, but the styles for this year are big and bold. Classic high-legged bikinis are on trend in bright shades of emerald green, cyan blue and scarlet. The v-cut bottom is also extremely flattering, as it sits just above the hips, giving you the illusion of having longer legs. The front-tie top is another great bikini style that is flattering for all silhouettes. It gives good support for the bigger bust, and works well in plain colors, as well as retro, vintage prints. 

Kaftans and kimonos

Beach cover ups are an essential, especially in the evening, or in the fall months when there is a cool breeze. The kaftan may have been a colorful 1970s trend, but fifty years later, and it is still very relevant as a cover up. In flowing chiffon or soft cotton, the kaftan makes a beautiful statement, and can also be transformed into evening wear, paired with a pair of capri pants. The kimono is also extremely fashionable, as worn by Jessica Alba in photos of her paddling on St Barts Beach. Go for warm, fall colors and natural prints to make a statement. 

Chunky sandals

Kitten heels are simply not practical on the beach, but fortunately chunky sandals are on trend. Who would have thought that Prada would have designed a chunky, velcro sandal that is durable but still screams high fashion? But you will see these sandals being paraded around on the beaches of Italy. They are perfect for exploring the rockpools or taking a walk along the shoreline in the evening sun. Look for soft, platform soles that cushion and support your feet, and thick ankle straps that will be comfortable, but still stylish. 

Italy is arguably the most fashionable country in the world. With so many beautiful beaches, it is no wonder that there are so many great beachwear trends to be inspired by. 

Who said that stay home outfits need to be boring? In this Femme Luxe Finery haul you will check 3 loungewear sets that you can copy now to stay home with a comfy outfit, but also a cute one! And + 3 items for finally going out of the house!

So during all this crazy and unusual situation of a completely unexpected lockdown in so many places, loungewear just became one of the latest fashion trends of this year. We can already start to go back to our normal life and go out, but the loungewear trend is definitely staying!

And I’m loving loungewear sets, they are so comfortable and easy to wear at the house, but they are also perfect if you need to run errands last minute. Just add a pair of shoes, even a pair of high heels can be styled with a loungewear set for a more fancy look!

I liked this loungewear set so much that I actually got it in two shades of green! The loungewear set you saw above is in a light green shade with a cropped sweatshirt + comfy trousers.

Such a cute color for the spring days and nights at the house.

But if you prefer something in a darker color, I also loved this military green cropped loungewear set that could be the perfect choice when you’re in the mood for darker colors!

The model is just the same, with the cropped top + comfy trousers.

5 LOUNGEWEAR OUTFITS 💕 5 look per stare a casa 🏡 Loungewear sets: @femmeluxefinery

If you want something more like a basic style of loungewear set, I’ve got you covered with the next outfit! The top is quite oversized, but the nice thing is that you can wear it oversized, but if you prefer, you can make a knot at the end of this top to make it a cropped top, in a more feminine style. Like I did in this next photo:

Talking about basics and nude color, here’s another nude outfit with a mini ruched dress outfit! It’s a nice outfit for going out to dinner or for getting some drinks at the weekend.

It’s a short dress, perfect for the warm weather that’s already happening here in Milan! Milan’s summer can be really warm (and even hotter than expected!).

And being of such a neutral color, you can style it with accessories in so many different colors, like with a pair of red high heels like I did here:

Since last year, I’ve been loving the cropped top trend, especially since the summer is so hot here in Milan. And apparently nothing changed for this year, I’m still loving cropped tops!

For the fresh days and nights, you can still enjoy a cropped top with long sleeves here, like this white one that you can wear in so many different ways:

And a white T-shirt is always a must-have any season, especially one with a cute phrase like this one that says: “In a world you can be anything, BE KIND”. And I just LOVED it, so it had to be mine.

I love to style cute outfits with slogan T-shirts! For this outfit, I styled it with a pink check skirt to keep it super cute and summer-perfect!

To give it a twist, I made a little knot on this t-shirt, to make it a cropped top. Which was not only much better for the warm day at the city center, but also made the outfit cooler!

By the way, since every time I post a photo with my new glasses someone asks me where it’s from, my glasses are from Swarovski. They are prescription glasses that come together with the sunglasses cover, so it’s easier that having to change glasses all the time. You can find it here:

So what will be your must-buy pieces for this summer? I’m loving the cropped tops, as I’m sure you can definitely see from this haul.
