Summer by the water calls for a few closet essentials. A comfortable bikini to minimize tan lines, a sturdy yet chic pair of sandals, and a breezy linen set. Three-time SI Swimsuit model Kelsey Merritt is checking every box on her recent trip back home to the Philippines.

Surrounded by palm trees and crystal blue waters, Merritt posed in a stringy black bikini top and black linen long sleeve shirt and shorts set. She paired the outfit with a pair of black Hermes sandals and a black-and-white striped beach tote. The model accessorized the look with a beachy Baroque pearl necklace and some dainty gold jewelry.

“in touch but out of reach. back home in the Philippines with my family at one of my favorite spots @elnidoresorts 🖤#ElNidoResorts,” she captioned the series of tropical snaps that she shared with her two million followers.

“oh pretty woman 🖤,” one follower commented.

Looking chic and sophisticated in her classy all-black outfit, Merritt strolled along the waterfront pier, pausing to pose for the camera. The 26-year-old is enjoying a relaxing vacation back home and sporting the perfect warm-weather, chic style for her tropical excursion.
