In Tel Aviv, Beach Style Is Hot and Heavy (on Accessories) – Flesh, Salt, and Tattoos in Tel Aviv | Vogue

The modern seaside city of Tel Aviv is poles apart from Israel’s religious hubs like Jerusalem or Tzfat. Here, on the Mediterranean coast, the beach is a daily congregation of flesh, salt, and tattoos. “People don’t like to dress up—it’s too hot for effort, so lazy, pretty, and naked is the look,” says photographer Mayan Toledano, who spent a few days capturing the locals on film. “Everyone’s wearing their grandma’s gold, so there is more focus on accessories, for sure.”
