BRING ON THE HEAT

by societytexas | May 1, 2022 | 2022 May June, List, Style

Summertime means rest and relaxation as life heats up over the coming months. So, to keep you as cool as possible, our trend-spotting Jamie Chandlee, CEO of Rank & Style, and her team have selected the top ten best recommendations for you to enjoy.

SHOW YOUR STRIPES

No matter what water you dive into, you’ll want to towel off at some point. The fashion-forward choice for towels this season is bold stripes. This luxury oversized beach towel is plush but cut close, so you don’t pick up any extra sand. It can be monogrammed, too.

POOL YOUR EFFORTS

A pool cover-up with a sleek sun-inspired geometric print and pockets? Absolutely. In non-stretch terry cloth, the jersey-lined drawstring hooded poncho has 3/4 sleeves with open sides. It’s perfect from poolside to lunch…and beyond.

GO AHEAD, SUIT YOURSELF

What has a flattering one-shoulder neckline and cutout along the waist? Our favorite swimsuit. The Lena Nile suit, with seamless seersucker fabric, has the same shape-enhancing characteristics of the brand’s signature crinkle, yet expect a smoother appearance.
