Your Late-Summer Swim Checklist
Summer isn’t over—but it is slipping by. Whether you’ve spent the last few weeks soaking up the sun or still waiting for your beach moment, August is your cue to reset, refresh, and make the most of every sun-drenched day left.
Here’s your official Late-Summer Swim Checklist to keep you feeling supported, confident, and cute for every ocean dip and poolside moment:
1. The Suit That Does It All
Now’s the time to find your go-to. Look for something that hugs in all the right places, supports without squeezing, and makes you feel good. Think buttery-soft fabrics, adjustable straps, and thoughtful coverage—like our Azelie bestselling styles.
Pro tip: If you’ve been living in your suit all summer, it’s probably time to rotate in a fresh one. Salt, chlorine, and sunscreen wear down fabric faster than you think.
2. A Cover-Up That Doubles as a Fit
Late summer = more spontaneous plans. Grab a cover-up you can wear straight from the sand to dinner. Our favorites? Button-downs, beach pants, and breezy dresses that layer perfectly over your bikini but still look polished.
3. Weekend-Ready Packing System
Weekend trips are in full swing—whether it’s upstate, out east, or across the coast. Keep a small bag packed with your swim musts: suit, SPF, a towel, sunnies, and a water bottle. Toss in a claw clip, lip balm, and you’re golden.
4. A Refresh for Your Suit Drawer
Take 10 minutes this weekend to sort through your swim. Toss anything that’s lost its shape or color. Rinse suits immediately after wear and let them air dry flat—not in the sun—to make them last longer. You deserve better than a crunchy old bikini, trust.
5. One Last Summer Memory
Whether it’s a lake day, an ocean dip, or just laying out in your backyard—make the time. Say yes to that beach invite. Jump in even if the water’s cold. Your August self will thank you.
The Bottom Line:
Summer isn’t over. You’re just getting started.
Let your suit carry you through every salty, sun-warmed moment to come.
