You may have heard of après ski, but what about après swim? Inspired by the modern woman’s desire to transition attire after visiting the beach or pool, founder of Amaiò, Samantha Khoury’s sophisticated line of swimwear and resort pieces blurs the line between swimwear and ready to wear.

Editor’s Insight
The sophisticated swim styles are crafted to be functional in the water, but throw on a floaty skirt, or lightweight button down shirt from the après swim collection and ta-da, you’ve got a stylish outfit to take on the city.

Inspired by Resort 2020
Leisure-luxe swim was all over the resort collections, with easy, breezy silhouettes, florals and ruffles galore paired with double duty swimwear.

All About Design
Amaiò is all about the details! The pink textured micro floral jacquard adds a retro flourish, and is lined with buttery soft Italian Eurojersey. A dainty keyhole back opening and large gold plated Amaiò clasp exude elegance.
