Sustainability is key
With global trends moving towards reducing plastic use and inventive new uses of sustainable materials reported more or less every day, fashion certainly isn’t being left behind.
The coolest outfit to be seen in this season? Something made from ethical and sustainable materials.

From swimming costumes made out of fishing nets to board shorts created using plastic bottles collected from beaches, recycled fashion is all the rage and one of this year’s top beach trends.

Bring some sparkle to the beach
This summer is all about wearing jewellery on the beach! Add some sparkle to your swimming costume and even if your beach hair doesn’t quite turn out as planned, you’ll still feel like a movie star.

Heavy jewellery can be uncomfortable for the beach, so keep it light and delicate. A simple, slender body chain can beautifully complement a swimsuit!

Keep it bright and bold
Bold, tropical prints are big for summer 2018. Take your love of florals to the next level with bright, leafy designs across everything from your bikini to your beach bag.
Coco Bay Swimwear has incorporated lots of bold prints into their collection this summer
An added bonus? Tropical prints are perfectly suited to your tropical Indian Ocean getaway! Complement the swaying palms with a printed sarong you can throw over your bikini before heading to the beachside restaurant for a spot of lunch.
@giuliagaudino fully embraced the tropical print trend at Constance Ephelia Seychelles!
Pair your bold print with a fresh coconut adorned with bright flowers for the perfect Instagram shot!

Shell yes!
You don’t have to be a surfer to work the shell trend. Shell accessories are for everyone – from small earrings to larger statement necklaces, you can take it as far as you fancy.

Take it a step further with gold or silver coated shells, perfect to accompany your evening dress for a night of fine dining at one of our beach restaurants.
Cowrie shells are particularly popular at the moment. They’re found across the Indian Ocean and for centuries have been thought to have protective powers in many African cultures.

Stay safe in the sun
Wide-brimmed sun hats are a top fashion pick again this year. Not only do they add effortless glamour to any beachside outfit, they’re a sensible choice for staying safe in the tropical sun.
Enjoy the ocean breeze and keep cool in a glamorous wide-brimmed hat like @traveljunkiediary at Constance Prince Maurice
Find a summer straw hat with an added detail to really make it pop. Flowers, pompoms, ribbons… anything goes!

Indulging in a dose of tropical sunshine is a must when visiting the Indian Ocean, so keep your face protected from the rays and stay cool with your stylish sunhat. Chic and practical.
