La Vie en Rose

Tyler Rose Swimwear

It’s not every day a bikini comes along that makes you think of late nights at the Whisky a Go Go, scarves on a microphone, power ballads, and swooning groupies.

Okay, it’s not often a bikini does that in a good way.

But Tyler Rose swimwear, whose very name summons the gods of the Sunset Strip, claims just such a distinction. The suits are made of vintage-inspired patterns and fabrics in styles that recall the glamour of a bygone rock ’n’ roll heyday.

So strut your stuff in Jayne, a leopard-print string bikini, or Casablanca, a black-and-white bandeau with a palm frond print. Or really get into the spirit with the pink-on-pink Sunset suit or Whiskey, a python-print, itsy-bitsy two-piece.

Show up in one of these, and you’re sure to blow fellow beachgoers out of the water.

Or, you know, in the water. Depending on just how late it gets.
