The Classy, Classic Chick

You're that lady who often gravitates towards classic styles—you love anything black, white, nude, and just a touch of color once in a while. You're not afraid of subdued hues, and are mostly attracted to pieces that stand the test of time. At the beach, where color and print are often seen, you're not afraid to stand out in a basic black suit, and classy accessories you can re-use for seasons to come.

The Trendy Fashionista

You love a daring new trend when you see one, and you're often the gal who loves to experiment with new things every season. Even on the beach where traditional shapes and styles are common, you like to switch things up by opting for a suit that's unexpected, but still chic. Take things further by pairing your suit with a bold bag or a straw hat that can't be found at the local market.
