August and summer vacation are synonymous. Across the globe, the style set travels to the most exotic places to unwind, experience and play. The Spanish coastline, always a favorite of Europeans, has become one of the world’s hotspots with visitors from every corner of the earth. Located on the Mediterranean Sea and famous for its ancient architecture, museums and cultural events, Marbella is a must-visit.

Marbellan style can be described as casual-chic…beachy vibes during the day, morph into soirée style as the sun sets and while you definitely need to pack for a variety of style-moments, nothing is quite as important as your swimwear. It-girls, everywhere know that the ultimate in pool or beachside sophistication comes from Missoni Maré. Their iconic zigzag pattern is not only a mark of fashion savviness, but a way to say I have arrived. The full collection is of course available at our Marbella store in Puerto Banús, so just in case you forget to pack a little pizzazz, we have have you covered.

Another ‘stylista’ cult-brand is the only and only Etro. Known for the most perfect paisleys, their swim collection is at once charming and high-fashion. We love the idea of going beach-to-bar in your Etro one-piece, but don’t forget to cover up with non-traditional swimwear staples like a soft tee from Forte_Forte. Complete this paired back look with the perfect straw-effect, leather mini-shopper from Dragon and a sweet moon-necklace from Étoile Isabel Marant…so put together, yet so very effortless.

Your swimwear needs those just-right shoes to finish the look and we are coveting, the simple beauty of Robert Clergerie’s slides. The most modern design, counterbalanced with a feminine shape, allows these to compliment every Marbellan #OOTD. The key to unlocking Marbella’s understated sensibility is to simply let go, relax and always have fun…especially with your holiday fashion!
