The arrival of spring brings with it the desire to take a break from the hectic daily routine: it’s time to disconnect and take a moment for yourself, and why not, to hole up in a spa. But like any other place, the spa also has specific style canons to keep you on trend.

Read on to find out tricks and secrets about upcoming trends, from the coolest looks to show off, to accessories to take with you!

Swimsuits and cover-ups

The swimsuit is obviously the essential garment to have with you when you go to the spa. But which one is the most appropriate? Since this is a relaxing stay, remember to prefer comfortable and practical swimsuits; for women, bikini is a must have, as well as the slip for men. Avoid boxers and one-piece swimsuits, which, by their nature, retain water and will take longer to dry–which is not pleasant when you get out of the water and move from one area to another.

In any case, always choose the model that you feel most comfortable in. For women, whether the two-piece is high-waisted, low-slung, bandeau, triangle, with or without straps…it doesn’t matter, what matters is that it enhances your silhouette.

What about the color? Fashion favors the “white,” because it is the color most frequently associated with tranquility and relaxation. Vivid or bright colors such as magenta, orange, light blue, lime green, or floral patterns are also fine when it comes to swimsuits.

To complete the look, the cover-up is absolutely the perfect choice to stand out in style. There are many alternatives to choose from, for the spa area is better if you opt for a long cover-up, which can also go well with an aperitif by the pool.

Among luxury brands, Missoni offers elegant models with original patterns: zig-zag stripes, animal prints, ethnic style… the selection is extremely wide.

Tip. Whatever your choice, do not forget that the watchword is comfort, so prefer cover-ups made of cool and breathable materials like silk, linen, cotton are perfect for the first warm weather. Alternatively, consider crochet, which is particularly trendy this year and can give your look that “see-through” effect.

SPA Essentials: bathrobe, bathing cap and slippers  

Although facilities provide everything you need for your spa stay, having a small terry or chenille bathrobe and a microfiber hair turban will make your life easier, so you can avoid the clutter of the classic heavy bathrobe with hood. Also, it is more hygienic.

One hack you can resort to during the spa course is to carry a towel with you, which is useful for dabbing yourself after the sauna or just out of the hot tub. This way you will avoid weighting down your bathrobe from the excess water.

If you love bold style, then have a look at Versace’s proposals: with its bright, colorful tones, you will certainly be the star of the spa and will not go unnoticed!

Along with your turban and bathrobe, remember to also put a pair of slippers in your bag, preferably not disposable, so you can wear them again on your next outings. Reason why you may decide to buy a quality pair that will last.

Again, high fashion brands come to our aid with classy proposals: Moschino, Dior, Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph Lauren are just a few from which to take inspiration for your shopping.

Accessories: the must-haves

For a complete and fashionable look, accessories are a must, especially when it comes to hair.

Having tidy hair, especially when going from one pool to another, is not always easy. So have fun wearing headbands, clips, or hairbands. Especially the latter are currently very much in vogue and many designers have created colorful models with the most bizarre patterns, perfect for finishing and giving that extra touch of sophistication to your outfit. As materials, in the same way as cover-ups, linen and cotton are preferable.

Eco-friendly and functional water bottles

It is often known that when we get to the break room, we do not always find the purifying herbal tea we like, or in some cases it has gone cold and we do not like to drink it.

Having your own water bottle with you when you are in a spa is not only a functional choice, but it avoids the waste of disposable cups and ensures you to always have a cold or hot drink depending on your taste.

So many brands, such as Seletti, now specialize in creating uniquely designed and refined thermos. If you have an empty corner in your bag, it will certainly come in handy to fill it up with just such a water bottle.

Now that you have all the necessary cues, take advantage of them, and before you leave, go for a little shopping: thanks to these tips you will be ready for well-deserved relaxation at the spa, in style!
