Get ready for sunny weather with the start of a new month. For May 2018, it’s time to put away those sweaters and jackets, and look for swimsuits and dresses. If you love color, there’s plenty of bold prints to choose from. From florals to gingham checks, put away neutrals for some vibrant hues. And when it comes to the beach or the pool, skimpy bikinis and one-piece styles reign supreme. Rounding out your outfit, focus on slide sandals as well as statement sunglasses.
