It’s bold, it’s different, and it instantly caught my eye - exactly my kind of swimwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"549\" data-start=\"357\"\u003eIt’s definitely one of the bolder pieces in my edit, but it never feels like too much. The pattern does the talking without overpowering you, which is a fine balance and not easy to get right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"753\" data-start=\"551\"\u003eProof’s in the reaction this got. I wore these on Elia Beach in Mykonos and got stopped to ask about them. That tells you everything. It’s the kind of piece that gets noticed, but for all the right reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1009\" data-start=\"755\"\u003eAs with all of Ikakos designs, it's comfortable, holds its shape, and keeps its colour whether you’re in the pool or the sea.
