Donning a swimsuit at all times is a good idea when the heat wave comes. Not just for poolside or the beach, swimwear is now a versatile piece of the summer wardrobe. In an effort to keep cool, the bathing suit is a suitable stand-in for a t-shirt (that you’ll probably sweat through) or even a tank top. Stop using the excuse “it’s laundry day” and pair your favorite swimsuit with a summer midi skirt or jeans.
