These images have some of the key elements that we associate with Summer: gorgeous blue water, bright bikinis, wide brimmed hats, halter dresses and and a carefree air. It’s that last part (the relaxed attitude) that we are eager to adopt. Looking at this languid and luxe Summer fantasy gives a vicarious feeling of ease and leisure. The images depict a world free from the stresses of reality. Taking in these shots makes us feel relaxed, and that seems like it’s on the right track. How do you celebrate the arrival of Summer?
