With the holiday season around the corner, South Africa's beaches are gearing up for the sun and surf.
This year's swimwear trends are all about balance - bold yet refined, functional yet stylish.
"This season is about making a statement, but in a way that feels effortless," said image consultant Lynne McMaster.
"People want to stand out, but they don't want to shout.
"It's about confidence and subtle sophistication." Warren Wareing, founder and CEO of Island Style, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of practicality.
"If it doesn't work in the water, what's the point?" he said.
For him, the essence of swimwear remains functionality first, with style playing a close second.
"You've got to be able to surf in it, swim in it, and still feel comfortable lounging by the pool."
High-waisted bikinis are making a comeback this summer, a trend that Wareing says isn't surprising.
