Just add edge…and crochet.
It’s no surprise that for the release of Issue 3, What Youth turned to Beach Riot designer, Nicole Hanriot, to style their latest short flick. Filled with a classic rock & roll spirit, and Gen X “disappear here” undertones, the style reflects the live fast, dye bold attitude of Nicole’s collection.

Just Add AlohaBold Aloha Prints + Win It.
Camouflage yourself right into a tray of lava flows and leis with bold new aloha prints. Think vintage Hawaiiana, all hopped up on Mountain Dew. It’s a mix that makes us want to sugar cookie ourselves all over white-sand beaches.
Drink the POG:
- Dive head first into the trend with head-to-toe Hawaiian prints
- Dip in with a splash of aloha, off-set with a saturated black or nude backdrop
- Start off slow (aka, “On Island Time”) with an Aloha Print hat, shoes, or bag

Mermaid At Heart.
Mermaids are a soft serve swirl of three of our favorite things: whimsy, the ocean, and shiny things. So naturally, we love anything that has to do with the cute little mythical beings. We also love style. A combo of the two…that’s just something more magical than Puff sneezing fairy dust onto a baby unicorn….but better.
So here it is, a roundup of our top 5 “mermaid at heart” styles:

Trend Alert: Reversible Swim
Love bikinis? Then there’s 2x as much to love in this season’s stand-out swim trend: reversible suits. “Double-dipping” has an entirely new, and for more socially acceptable, meaning.
Aside from the comically small amount of space they would save in your tropical vacation suitcase, the reversible bikini brings along quite a few perks, including: twice the styling options, a print/non-print option in one bikini, the option to do one more nonchalant beach walk-by without reaching creepster status, or the ability to get 2x the free samples at the volleyball tourney.
Loving this trend? Check out a few of our favorite double-sided bikinis here: Reversible Bikinis
