Everyone deserves to be cool, confident, and comfy this summer.

Dressing for the heat can be a drag for anyone. For many queer, trans, or gender-nonconforming folks, beach season can especially bring a whole lotta stress.
Anyone and everyone can wear a bikini (after all, you just need a body to be “beach body” ready) but that doesn’t mean everybody wants to wear one.
We asked a few stylish people to show us the beach duds they wear to feel ~cool for the summer~. From finding creative alternatives to the traditional two piece to styling up a classic button-down, you should probably be taking notes.

Queer
“Fashion has been becoming more inclusive of all gender expressions, sexualities, cultures etc yet swimwear seems to be at a standstill. Yes I can ‘borrow from the boys’ and don swim trunks when I feel like it but they leave no room for my hips and then what am I going to do about my chest? In my opinion cover-ups are where it’s at! The most plain/ boring suit can suddenly look bomb with a dope cover-up! It doesn’t even have to be a “swimwear” piece to work at the beach or pool — something cool, breezy and reflective of your style is all you need! I love sun and the ocean and refuse to let any little thing like body insecurity hold me back.”
