Best of Boston

It’s been more than 10 years since Sinesia Karol got the idea to bring the eye-catching swimwear designs of her native Brazil to New England, and we’ve been grateful for it ever since. Available online and in her Newport, Rhode Island, storefront, Karol’s bikinis and one-pieces are guaranteed to stand out on the sand, thanks to electric color schemes, playful patterns, and interesting details (oh hello, ruffled bell sleeves).
