It is a full-blown, 95-degree summer already. Anddd we are HOT. Today, we are talking about the budding swimwear/streetwear crossover trend that is going viral. This versatile Rococo Sand mint set gives me that same crossover vibe without being too overly skimpy or in-your-face.
Everyone who is anyone is wearing a bikini top as an actual top. Some are even wearing their tops upside down (see Vogue feature here). Under oversized tunics, just bouncing out and about, or styled a dozen other nontraditional ways. I’d like to thank the fashion genius who brought this into trend. I mean, these days, that fashion genius was probably just a teenager bored at home with a TikTok account.
I fully support the easy, breezy benefit of wearing a bikini as a top. This should have been a thing in the south longgg ago. What do you think?
Psychology of Mint Green
A pretty mint green is a hard color to find. Don’t you think? Too green and it looks like you tried to match your favorite Powerpoint template. Too blue and it might as well just be turquoise. You know I love some color psychology….This is what Colour Effects, a London color consulting agency, had to say about it:
Green strikes the eye in such a way as to require no adjustment whatever and is, therefore, restful. Being in the centre of the spectrum, it is the colour of balance – a more important concept than many people realise. When the world about us contains plenty of green, this indicates the presence of water, and little danger of famine, so we are reassured by green, on a primitive level. Negatively, it can indicate stagnation and, incorrectly used, will be perceived as being too bland.
Honestly, reading that just calmed me down a little bit, lol.
This Sparkle Fiber Fabric is Also Available in Hot Pink, Lavender, and Turquoise
The fabric is woven with the tiniest metallic threads. Fabric composition is mostly (90%+) viscose, so there isn’t much stretch. However, the crochet in the back provides some stretch. I sized up to a large in the top, and that was a mistake. Stay TTS. 🙂
I think the crossover detail on the top paired with the high-waisted, multi-tiered skirt make this outfit the perfect trendy-yet-classic summer outfit. I layered a white tunic over it for more coverage.
Pls do yourself a favor and look at how stunning the pink, lavender, and turquoise sets are. Even if you have no interest in purchasing….the pigments are a beauty to behold.
