This season don the bold retro shades and it doesnt get more retro than a solid classic red swimsuit styled with heart earrings.

Try a rash guard this season (thats surfer lingo for a full sleeve top) with high waist bikini shorts. This style in ikat print is both super retro and has a touch of traditional Indian.

Beach cover-up color-blocked in candy shades for that extra coverage and a retro french head-band. This will take you straight from beach to cocktails and put you a cut above the rest.
