Seafolly: Prints ahead

Seafolly does away with overdone, under-inspired solid colours, and opts instead for chromatic, exuberant prints, so cheerful nothing, not even the glum economic climate, could wear them down. Gorgeous over a skilfully bronzed skin, the Island Oasis infuses the traditional bandeau with bright pops of orange and aquamarine. Can you sense that gentle feeling of euphoria blowing over the beach?
