We have seen an overload of floppy summer hats and baseball caps to rock at the beach this season, but US Elle March 2010 is bringing back the classic visor in a big way. Despite its close association with tennis, I actually think these plastic and vibrant hued face protectors are slightly fashionable for those who dare to sport one.
Model Ashley Smith pairs hers with flashy bathing suits, athletic gear and a slicked-back ponytail. Shot by photographer Richard Bush, it looks like we will be going a little retro on the sands this year.
