Swide Magazine by Dolce&Gabbana

Swide's stylist has sampled beachside cocktails in The Maldives and practised her driving in the Cote D'Azur in order to bring you the definitive beachwear guide.

Ensure your style is a 'shore thing' this summer by investing in some quality swimwear pieces that will ensure you look is more genuine Hollywood star than paparazzi-prone wannabe.

Dolce & Gabbana's womenswear beach collection has a luxe-bohemian feel that whispers muses such as Talitha Getty. Maxi chiffon skirts are paired with oversized sunglasses in classic colours, jewelled flats and a nonchalant shopper with leather and metallic trims.

For the evening, pair rich leather gladiator sandals with a flash of leopard-print or a pop coloured leather clutch. Silk & sequinned shorts offer a unique alternative to the city's mini-dresses and are completed with a dash of red lipstick from Dolce & Gabbana's brand new make-up collection.

Dolce & Gabbana's menswear collection heads to the beach in an equally chic way (we're taking yachts, private jets and first class carriages).

Leather sandals match sporty bathing suits in classic colours such as navy and white, accessorized with a modern twist on the classic aviators.

For the evening, cover-up (only if you must) with a checked cotton shirt, pack your overnight bag and throw on a bit of bling for an evening's entertainment shore side.

On the other hand, if you're looking for more action packed beach wardrobe - direct from an imaginary French Riviera is the D&G SS09 beachwear selection.

The D&G womenswear beach collection showcases a range of athletic bikinis in red, white and blue that can be teamed with D&G's iconic leopard print in seasonal light chiffon.

Add a pair of nautical shades or opt for this season's unique butterfly inspired sunglasses, perfect for a seaside social butterfly.

For men, the D&G menswear collection is for those who want to look as if they’ve just single-handedly sailed around the world, or at least the Med. Pack the day's outfit in an oversized canvas bag, add a bathing suit in an Hawaiian inspired print and team with a pair of sporty shades.

For the evening, keep the tan warm in a variety of hooded sweatshirts in luxury fabrics and add a touch of fun in a pair of baseball boots in colours to match your cocktail.

Bon vacance!!
