Trina Turk offers a cover-up that values style over sun protection with the Kuta. If you're looking for a cover-up to repel the sun's rays, this isn't it. Its soft sheer crochet exposes plenty of skin, and it's so light that anything covered isn't likely to block those harmful UVs. But it's meant to make a fashion statement rather than serve as a functional piece of summer apparel. For…

Make a splash on the beach with this bold Ogee Swimsuit from Trina Turk. There's certainly no ignoring this retro one piece. Its bold red, orange, pink, and purple hues really pop against the swimsuit's bright white fabric. The seventies are the decade of the moment, so a pattern like this is right on trend. I'm less enthusiastic about the oversized golden medallion which is strateg…

I appreciate the way Trina Turk has struck the balance betw…

A bold floral print and striking buckle help separate this Nandini Bandeau Top from the pack. Trina Turk has done a lovely job of reinventing the classic bikini style here. Floral prints are ordinarily much softer than this one, but I think its strength works well. The vibrant colors and intricate details resemble the prints we'd see on an Indian sari. That Eastern influence helps m…

Trina Turk serves up Middle Eastern style with this colorful Marrakesh Tunic. The vibrant print on this tunic is really beautiful. It might not appeal to conservative sun lovers, but I think such a colorful design is ideal for summer. I love the way the black parts make all the shades pop.

Trina Turk serves up a contemporary take on the classic black and white combination with this Tamarindo bikini. This modern swimsuit has a traditional cut, but it's livened up by its abstract beaded print. You can see the strings of beads if you're looking for them, but they're rendered in such an artistic way that they don't seem like a novelty. Prints are always in danger of dating,…

The blooms are paired with a stunning golden buckle which is decorated with either tiny ocean waves or f…
