No matter what your fashion style or body type is, these TOP 10 Hot Essentials for Summer 2021 are ‘stylishly’ recommended:
Sustainable and African-inspired beachwear. Being mindful of our social, environmental, and economic factors in retrospect with style and fashion influence is becoming eminent. Culture Trees launched a sustainable collection made with 100% organic cotton in Burkina Faso, West Africa in 2018, where they employed artisans in a small women’s cooperative. Culture Trees designer Judith Gaffney also provides a free summer program called BLAST – Building Leaders and Skilled Training for children at the Family Service League Shelter in Brentwood, Long Island. The BLAST camp introduces the participants to marine biology, banking, entrepreneurial skills, ziplining, and other fun activities.
Dare to bare swimwear. Popularized by Kim and Kendall, mini micro bikinis and micro bikinis are here to stay. If you love sunbathing by the beach or on the poolside, mini micro and micro bikinis help minimize your tan lines as much as possible and give the impression of having a smaller waist. Manduvi Swimwear, GO Swimwear and Mango Swimwear perfected this trend. The collection, Mango, is inspired by a Mango tree and was created during the pandemic. Everything is hand-made by Lainy, the designer. Lainey will open her online store near the end of July 2021. Concurrently, GO Swimwear is a Mexican Brand, being represented in the USA with every piece being hand-made.
High-waisted swimwear. The absolute opposite of micro bikinis. High-waisted bikinis give the illusion of a longer leg and toned abs. Wear this look with Manduvi Swimwear Summer Breeze collection. The collection brings a tropical element from Brazil. Manduvi Swimwear hugs your body in all of the right places with sophistication and style. Colorful and wrinkle-free fabric makes you always look good and feel fabulous on your summer getaway.
One-piece glam. Who said one-piece is gone? Well, not quiet. One-piece is perfect for beach parties because you can dress it up or down.

DressUpp with Us is a mother-daughter owned business, owned by Robin Altenburg and her daughter Alexis. Their online store carries special occasion gowns, cocktail dresses, dressy dresses, jewelry, accessories, and swimsuits. If you prefer a fun and full of life kind of style, GO Swimwear, Mango Swimwear and Manduvi Swimwear give justice to this look.

Resort wear. Jus10H by Justin Haynes collection takes a classic spin of resort wear from the series of Miami Vice using classic black and white with a pop of nude and bright colors. This collection brings “Miami Vice” into the 21st century.
