Ttime to think about the holiday suitcase. Studying the outfits in advance is necessary: starting right from the protagonists of the summer, i beach look. While on the one hand the choice of bikinis is fundamental, that of cover-ups no less: the secret is to focus on pieces that can be worn in the evening, away from the waterline, before being reused during the day to reach the sunbed. Among all cover-ups more original fit for purpose, in Summer 2023 the dear, old one is surprisingly popular cotton sweater.
The new protagonist of the beach outfit: to prove it, the Spring-Summer 2023 fashion shows, which suggest the most suitable model for the purpose and the perfect match.
Where have we seen it
A traditional cardigan, one of those that seem to come out of an old trunk, with flower embroidery and visible stitching, equipped with front buttons. The identikit of grandma’s women’s sweaterbut in a short version, that is cropped, cut above the navel. Like the one spotted on the runway at Cormium Spring-Summer 2023: the style is from yesteryear, the cut is hyper-contemporary and also suitable for showing off on summer evenings. Even if the designer Jezabelle Cormio dusts it off in a daily key, just in combination with the bikini, thus suggesting a very special alternative to kimonos, caftans and men’s maxi shirts.

Just dust off your spring or autumn wardrobe to find a similar piece, or make it in a DIY key starting from a disused garment, to have in your hands the piece that solves an entire day out of office to the sea and surroundings: absolutely to be slipped into hand luggage – on the other hand, it is easier to fold and store than any jacket.

How to combine the women’s sweater on the swimsuit in Summer 2023
If the piece itself is on the crest of a wave, the combination proposed on the catwalk is extremely trendy. Already spotted on Instagram in the profiles of the most famous It Girls, the cover-up of the moment is mostly worn over the two-piece, in order to enhance the bare skin. Which swimsuit is ideal for experimenting with the combination of the moment? A retro high-waisted model, plain or featuring a contrasting vintage print, as seen on the runway.
The original cover-up also works on a simple one-piece, but it is in this guise that the short cardigan best enhances the outfit, leaving the belly uncovered. To complete the beach look, a wide and light skirt or a beach mini. Impossible not to notice the glamorous touch, under the umbrella.
