Suit Sweet

Tigerlily Swimwear

You are a delicate flower withering in this oppressive heat.

Before your paperwhite pallor starts to speckle, you should think about a new bloom.

Maybe a Tigerlily? The impeccable swimsuit line from Down Under has arrived stateside with brightly printed bikinis and sexy dresses sure to keep you perky — in and out of water.

Make a splash in Memphis, a strapless one-piece with tropical print and peekaboo bosom keyhole. Impress the crowds in Ruffle, a black and white halter bikini with ruching and side buttons. After the pool, transition into Lava, a tie-dyed silk dress, or another darling mini.

You’ll want to show off your hot stems.

Available at Farinelli’s, 2839 Clarendon Boulevard, Arlington (703-647-9856 or shopfarinellis.com). To see styles, go to tigerlily-usa.com.
