Two tolly ladies share their beach look book

Sunblock, a sheer cover-up, shades and a hat are my beach bag essentials. Right now, I am crushing on Valentino and Shivan & Narresh’s swimwear. For me, a black Baywatch-style monokini would be an all-time fave. Healthy skin and beautiful wavy hair should be the only accessories — Nusrat Jahan, actress

I make sure that I pack a good sunblock, which is water-resistant and protects my skin. I keep reapplying because I go mad when I am on the beach. I love being in the water, but I can’t swim! (Laughs) But I LOVE water. I was born in north Bengal and grew up in Assam, so hills are an integral part of my life. But in recent times, I am loving the beaches more. I generally carry nice, big hats, sunglasses and lip balm. 

I think nobody beats Marilyn Monroe when it comes to an iconic swimwear look

I like solid shades and one-piece swimsuits with open back. A classic swimwear look for me would be a high-waisted bikini bottom with a halter top. I love monochromes. No accessories for me at all, but I do tuck in frangipani behind my ears when I am on the beach
