Yesterday, those with a heart beating for surf culture, bright colors, eye-catching prints, and bathing suits under cut-offs sidled over to Miss Lily’s, where Bantu Surf set up a pop-up shop brimming with complimentary drinks and, of course, swimwear. The Cut’s Bek Andersen was on the scene to snap the crowd of New Yorkers channeling their best surf looks. Click through the slides for a refreshing dose of coral and turquoise, a beach-blonde mane, a dress sporting palm trees, and even a tie-dyed swimsuit. Keep a lookout for model Alek Wek, and then get yourself to the nearest beach.

Shop: Summer Accessory Picks

  • Lizard Clutch, $395

  • Tortoise glasses, $47

  • Plate Necklace, $106

  • Latch Cuff, $315
