The ELLE Singapore 'Life's a Beach' editorial is cleverly shot. Snapped from above, it captures [stylish beach goers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loro-pianas) as they lounge on beach chairs in the sun. Yet instead of worrying about tan lines, they keep their outfits pretty much intact. Whether that is a [full jumpsuit and dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver) or more revealing [bikini tops and cover-ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection), the ensembles may have been ditched on a normal beach day, but for now they are on display.

Lensed by photographer Joel Lim, the ELLE Singapore 'Life's a Beach' editorial appears in the June 2013 issue of the magazine. It stars models Sveta M, Adau M, Klaudia K and Juliano A, all of whom were styled by Daphne Chen in pieces from Versace, La Perla, Prada, Mileti and more.
