Change Your Tunic

Nic del Mar Online Resortwear Shop

You love to support local boutiques.

But you hate leaving the couch.

Simple solution: Nic del Mar, an online resortwear shop launched by two born-and-bred Miami sisters. The website — a combo of their middle names, Nicole and Marie — goes high and low with its selection of suits, cover-ups, and accessories.

There’s the pricier Resort category, filled with recognizable names (Ank, Rygy, and Vix bikinis; Tuccia de Capri sandals; dresses from local line Liza + Tara). A real standout: Poupette St. Barth’s Art Deco tunic in lilac and yellow silk.

In the Sport section, everything goes for less than 105 bucks — an empire-waist, red paisley tunic; Havaianas flip-flops; fringed beach bags. Our pick: the Frutilly bikini by Salinas, a striped bandeau top paired with heart-print bottoms.

They look adorable sitting on your ass.
