Putting on a swimsuit can be empowering. You feel sensual as your bare skin glistens in the sun. You get to show off your definition of a bikini body. You get to fill your Instagram feed with shots of your living the #beachlyfe in that one swimsuit that you were stashing aside for the big hot weather reveal.

The thing about swimsuits and bikinis, however, is that it is immediately obvious when you wear it more than once. After all, when you’re on vacation, your luggage space is only that much. Repeats are inevitable. (Not that there’s anything wrong with re-wearing your clothes!) Still, that shouldn’t stop you from tricking your mind and everyone else that one swimsuit can deliver more than one look.

Mixing your swimsuits is one option, as is doubling them as day or night wear with a pair of wide-legged pants, but the easiest way to do it is jewellery. Taking necklaces, bracelets and earrings into open water sounds a risky, but trust us – it’ll transform your beachside look in a snap. Just make sure everything is secured tied and you don’t take it too far into the water. (If you’re swimming for real, best take the dangly earrings off.)

Our picks? Vibrant seashells and pearls that fit right into the backdrop of the ocean, and pieces with a bit more quirk and will fit right in with your cool girl “vintage” necklace stack. Keep things light and make sure you have a hat on if you’re out in the sun for long, because three words: necklace tan line.
