A white shirt fixes most things. Including a swimsuit. A dark green bustier swimsuit with a keyhole halter collar, an open white cotton shirt, and flat black sandals tied at the ankle. It is nearly an outfit. Nearly is enough by the sea. Wear it to a late breakfast.

A dark green swimsuit built like a bustier, with a keyhole halter collar, under an open white cotton shirt and flat strappy sandals.

A dark green one-piece built like a bustier: a moulded sweetheart front, panel seams down the length and a flat band at the waist. Two straps rise from the centre front to a narrow collar, leaving a keyhole between them. The leg is cut high. Over it, a white cotton shirt worn as a cover-up, unbuttoned, pushed off one shoulder, sleeves rolled to the elbow.

The swimsuit has enough structure to stand in for a top, so the shirt can stay open all day. Flat black sandals with crossed straps and an ankle tie keep it practical on stone. It works for a walk along a sea terrace at noon, from June to September, and for lunch afterwards if the shirt gets two buttons.

The balustrade was warm. I leaned on it purely for the composition.
