If you head for the sun this winter, having the right piece to wear when the sun goes down is most important.

For my holiday plans this year, surprise of all surprises I will once again be heading south of the equator to Brazil. Now were I a woman I would of course be concerned with the selection of bikinis and chic one-pieces that are designed for lounging and not meant to get wet, but I would also be frantically searching for the right pieces to wear at night. Throw them on over a bikini for a casual look or wear them with underwear and high-heels for the ultra-glamazon look.
