La fonética de las marcas by HARPERS BAZAAR

Ever found yourself stuck for words when trying to pronounce some of the trickier names in the fashion lexicon? Us too. And, we figured, if we find it hard, then pity the poor woman who has a normal life and no time to study such things. So for anyone who has ever stumbled over Sonia Rykiel or mumbled their way through Martin Margiela, Team Bazaar has compiled the ultimate cheat sheet to help fashion fans master the dialects of the designer alphabet. Practice makes perfect...

13 Style Secrets I Learned from the Coolest Surfer Girls on the Planet


Kat Collings 
by KAT COLLINGS


I am probably the antithesis of a surfer girl. I am pale, remarkably mediocre at athletics, and have an undying fear of sharks. Accordingly, when I had the opportunity to hang with the Billabong women’s surf team (or the girl gang of water goddesses, as I privately refer to them), I jumped at the chance to learn their cool-girl secrets. After getting a very supportive and non-scary surf lesson from the team, I sat down with each one to get the scoop on all the style lessons that are second nature to someone who goes to work in a swimsuit.
From the bikini bottom cut that’s truly the most flattering to the truth behind effortless, beachy hair, scroll down for all their insider tips.

1. How to make your butt look amazing in a bikini:

“You want to look for a bottom that cuts in a little to show just a peek—not super-small like a Brazilian bikini bottom, but not full coverage either, which surprisingly doesn’t look good. A cut that shows just a little of your rear is super-flattering for people who still want a bit of coverage.” –Courtney Conlogue

Our bikini bottom pick: Billabong Sol Searcher Capril Bikini Bottom ($35)

2. The secret to surfer girl hair:

“To get the perfect beach hair, just go to the beach and get in the ocean. The saltwater seriously gives me nice curls, so I don’t have to do anything to my hair. If you’re not near an ocean, use sea-salt spray for sure.” –Felicity Palmateer

Our sea-salt spray pick: Bumble and Bumble The Surf Set ($28)

3. How to mix and match bikinis:

“I think the easiest way to mix and match a bikini is to get at least one solid in there, and then the other half of the set can be a really cool pattern.” –Alessa Quizon

Our mix-and-match bikini pick: Billabong Monterrico Stripe Triangle Bikini Top ($40), and Sol Searcher Lattice Biarritz Bikini Bottom ($35) in Coral Reef

4. The bikini top that will never fall off:

“When I’m surfing, I’ll wear a criss-cross back because it stays on better. So if you’re active, definitely wear that type of top. Whenever I surf in a triangle bikini, it comes off!” –Laura Enever

Our criss-cross back bikini pick: Billabong Line Up Triangle Bikini Top($30)

5. The most flattering type of one-piece swimsuits:

Our one-piece pick: Billabong Shorty Jane Spring Suit ($89).

6. When NOT to use salt spray:

Our palm trees-and-stripes bikini pick: Billabong Reversible Monterrico Stripe Bandeau ($45) and La Isla Reversible Tropic Bikini Bottom ($45)

“A halter-style bikini is a good way to wear a bikini as a top—it looks like a crop top. It’s really cute paired with overalls or with high-waisted shorts.” –Lindsay Perry

Our bikini top and shorts picks: Billabong Safari High Neck Bikini Top ($45) and Memory Clean Finish Denim Shorts ($54)

“I live in Sydney where we constantly go from the beach out to restaurants and little bars, so I’ve come to learn how I can wear all types of beachwear as streetwear. I love wearing a long cover-up, which you can pair with a nice pair of strappy sandals or even wedges. You can belt the cover-up to give yourself a bit of shape. Billabong has a lot of really nice cover-ups, and ones that coordinate with the bikini as well.” –Laura Enever

Our cover-up pick: Billabong Seacret Love Dress ($48)

“I always pack my massive, oversized sarong or beach towel. It is so versatile—you can use it as a head wrap, as a sarong, or a perfect beach blanket. Billabong has some amazing beach blankets. They are coming out with a circular one, which I am really stoked about.” –Felicity Palmateer

Our printed-towel pick: Billabong Palm Vacations Towel ($40)
