A celebration of the Italian summer, Amalfi coast, timeless charm of Positano and la dolce vita: the Max Mara Beachwear SS 2022 collection is a Mediterranean atmosphere inspired promise of happiness.

The high-waisted bikinis are reminiscent of the oh-so-glamorous 50s with their wide triangle tops and French brief-style bottoms, plus the one-piece swimsuits – featuring either deep front or back necklines, a one-shoulder design or an active style – have been perfectly designed to be form-fitting and provide support, whilst also following and enhancing the movements.

All the models can be showcased under the lightweight cotton muslin shirt dresses, tunics or seemingly weightless kaftans, whose bead-adorned thread embroidery sets the entire collection – a refined detail-rich, essential-style range – apart.

The color palette – sea blue, lemon yellow, green, Positano house-reminiscent red, bright pink and local flower-evoking lilac – is an ode to the good life and the slower pace of holidays and further accentuated by the timelessly elegant Max Mara Beachwear designs.
