Fall is on its way. The days are already shortening; life is beginning to slow down from the buzz of the summer. Cool mornings, crisp evenings. And of course, layers. The word itself brings a smile to my face. How about yours?

Summer is hot, and the temperatures in Portland have been especially high this year. That means getting to water at every opportunity. But water also means finding swimwear that makes sense, something I can feel comfortable in. As bois, the typical bathing suit – women’s or men’s – just doesn’t work.

The pair you splurged on because they were just what you wanted and now wear summer after summer. That cheap pair you found in a gas station with the perfect shape. Sunglasses are another opportunity in your wardrobe to highlight your style because they can show off your personality.
