Swimsuits | On-trend Swimsuit Accessories for Summer
Top Accessories to Pair with Swimsuits for a Complete Look in 2025
Elevating your beach or poolside presence is much more than investing in an array of swimsuits. Swimwear accessories add a touch of personal style, transforming a simple tankini, one-piece, or bikini into an ensemble that not only provides sun protection but also comfortably transitions from water to lounge chair. By complementing your swimsuit with a flowing kimono, chic sarong, elegant sunhat, and statement jewellery, you will maximise your wardrobe and inspire confidence this summer.
At Lu-May Exclusive Wear, we want you to invest in self-expression so that you look your best while enjoying outdoor water activities. We would like to share some must-have accessories with you and take a peek at what swimsuits are hot and trending in 2025.
Cover-Ups for Swimsuits
Whether you want to flaunt your assets or prefer keeping them under wraps, modern swimsuits are designed to flatter the feminine figure. Should you wish to keep premature ageing at bay or prefer staying cool and comfortable while watching the kids swim our cover-ups can enhance your summer style:
- UV ray protection
While you are enjoying the sun’s rays after a splash in the pool your skin is constantly exposed to harmful UV that can lead to sunburn, premature ageing, and in some instances, long-term health issues. Cover-ups add an extra layer between your skin and the sun, significantly reducing your exposure and keeping you safe while basking in the beautiful weather. Our Venice Lace Kimono Pink is the perfect blend of fashion and function, letting you have fun in the sun without worry.
- Versatile wardrobe change
If you need a quick and stylish way to go from sunbathing to grabbing lunch our Bliss Buttoned Split Maxi Dress combines convenience with elegance. Simply put a lightweight cotton dress over your swimsuit and voila! You are ready to go. Should the occasion require a little more pizzazz, add some stylish sandals and a necklace to complete your look. With our fashionistas by your side, you can go from beach comfy to bar chic in seconds.
- Comfort is important
As comfort is key when enjoying sun-filled days, our vibrant-coloured sarongs and cover-ups are made from breathable fabrics that allow air to flow freely, keeping you cool and preventing that uncomfortable, sticky feeling. When spending extended time in the sun, the risks of heatstroke and dehydration are real, and Lu-May’s flowing and airy cover-ups can help you stay cool.
Swimsuits can be adorned with shorts, skirts, and wide-brimmed straw hats with decorative motifs to make you feel confident and above all, comfortable and protected while spending summer recharging in the sun.
Nostalgia Dominates this Swimwear Season
Whether you prefer a swimsuit that has a classic cut or one that shows off your curves in all the right places, this year Lu-May’s collection incorporates geometric patterns, asymmetrical designs, retro styles, and adaptability to name a few.
- High-waisted bottoms: These flattering classics, reminiscent of the 50s offer a comfortable fit and a touch of vintage glamour, accentuating the waist and providing a confident silhouette. Think bows and ruffles combined with a modern twist like our Palila Poolside Colour Block One Piece
- Classic one-pieces: The timeless one-piece is being reinvented with modern details. Look for interesting cutouts, unique strap designs, and textured fabrics that elevate this classic style.
- Bold prints: Drawing inspiration from the 80s, Lu-May’s Glow Triangle Drawstring High Waist Bikini Set encompasses bold, neon geometric colours and a design that exudes energy and fun.
