Go swimmingly: if it's good for the beach in summer, then why not everywhere else?

Swimwear is a more ingenious invention than most people think. Created for, well, swimming, it has become, in cities like Rio de Janeiro, the uniform of choice, whether you're swimming or not. Which makes good sense in warmer climates, and elsewhere during summer. It's comfortable when the mercury rises, cheaper than most other clothing, and--because it covers only the bits that (often reluctantly) need to be covered by law--one of the sexiest ways to dress. So next time you leave the beach, try putting on little more than a splash of your favorite scent!
