1. Sheer Layered Tops

If you are looking for a piece that makes it a bit further than the typical t-shirt or tank top, consider a sheer layer.

YOu can find them in a variety of prints ranging from tie-dye to even those with bright colors and bold designs on them. They are perfect even to wear a tank top over if you really want to go for that retro, punk-girl style that was popular in the 90s.

2. Bathing Suits

The more color and prints, the better when it comes to this year’s fashion, and these will last you a long time.

3. Open-Toed Sandals
