Miami , Florida US - Dusky Meld Swim Shorts
I think we all have different views of what Miami is, with both Cuban, Latin American and Caribbean influences and vibrant non-stop action, Miami is incomparable.

I am drawn to the old independent kingdom, with its unique culture and rhythm, turquoise seas and coral reefs. The tropical paradise of the Okinawan islands in Japan is a world of its own. Not unlike the Elowen Swim Shorts, with their fantasy garden illustration and subtle colour scheme. An unexpected match - yet captivating and harmonious.

Not sure why, but Rio reminds me of a different time – and the Rapallo swim shorts will help you transcend back to it. Visit the iconic Contemporary Art Museum by architect Oscar Niemeyer when you´re at it. A modernist masterpiece.
