Seeing them even having a chance to go to the beach brings a smile to my face.

Bloomers and stuff on the women, long pants on the men. All wearing hats.
I like this stuff, that's probably all cotton and cool. They make their own clothes, don't spend a lot of money, keep every thing they do simple.
