Man of the Cloth

Blue Capri Swim Shop Opens

Men lurking in lingerie shops are usually a red flag.

Unless they’re Italian.

Which is why we welcome fashionisto (what? he’s a man) Antonio Capuano and his new swim shop, Blue Capri.

The Coconut Grove boutique bubbles with swimwear from near (Miami) and far (Brazil, Colombia). Shop colorful bikinis, sultry maillots, and silky cover-ups. Big names like Ank, Miranda M, and Cia Marítima line the white walls interspersed with more affordable up-and-comers. The local showing includes Nikki Poulos swimwear and Funky Urban hats and tees.

Also on hand: dangly, beach-worthy necklaces and bangles, plus scented candles from Be Soy. And as long as you’ve already dropped trou, you may as well try on the rainbow selection of lace lingerie from Bia Bella.

When in Rome …

Blue Capri, 3082 Grand Avenue, Coconut Grove (305-476-7991).
