A swimsuit is a staple when you live in Hawaii, or if you're here on vacation. At Born of the Water, we provide an array of swimsuit options that suits any age and style! With our collection of local designers, we can get you into the bikini you’ve always dreamed of, regardless if you’re a local or a tourist. But, did you know that your swimwear isn't restricted to the beach or pool?!

That's right! Your swimwear can do more for you than "serve looks" when there's water involved. Here's our little guide on how to get way more out of your swimwear (and feel less guilty for your bikini shopping habit):

1. Beach Babe to Club Hopping

This velvet bikini top by La Pearl Swim is perfect for creating a chic club vibe. Pair it with a body con skirt, delicate necklace (this one is by Sea Rain), a statement clutch and some lace-up high heels to get ready for a girls night out. No one will ever know your bralette is actually a swim top, unless you tell them your secret of course!

2. Gym Sesh to Surf Sesh

Had an intense leg day and want to cool off in the ocean? That's one of the best things about Honolulu: we're literally minutes from the beach! A swim top that can double as a supportive activewear top and surfer-friendly top is a must-have for active #bowbabes. The Yogini top by Pualani Hawaii offers support and coverage in and out of the water. Don't forget your water bottle!

Pro Tip: Pair your top with some ocean-friendly active shorts/capris to literally be ready for the beach!

3. Boardwalk Cruisin'

We always love letting our clients know that one piece swimsuits can literally turn into bodysuits! This Kainoa Nani onesie is paired with high-waisted shorts, great for a day on Waikiki boardwalk. For footwear, feel free to don slippers or some high-top shoes and a simple hair-do that won't bother you in the heat.

Pro Tip: Don a trendy sun hat to up the boho vibe.

4. Date Night

Strappy back style tops and dresses are definitely popular, so why not add more straps?! Ditch a strapless bra and create a fun look for date night by making your favorite strappy dress flaunt a hint of color with this bandeau bikini top. Experiment with different colors, prints and textures of bikini tops to find one that works with your date night outfit. 

Pro Tip: Accent your outfit with accessories that are close in color to your bandeau swim top for a fully coordinated look!

This was just a few possible style inspo looks (although the possibilities are endless) that you can create with your swimwear! We hope that this quick guide will help you to get more out of your swimsuits, or at least know that there's versatile options out there.
