Comment: "Thanks Lourdes. As the clothes are colourful, I needed a lighter tone in the wording too!"

surf through
May be it's not too literal, but seems to me that"surf through" gives the idea of going around something searching inside of it.
Example sentence:
If you surf through those paintings you'll find amazing textures.
Note from asker:
Thanks! I've got the feeling that it "covers" rather than goes through a range but am not convinced by that either. |
15 mins
clothes that come in the most vibrant colors
Another suggestion, I think it captures the meaning better.
Note from asker:
Thanks! I think this comes closer to it. |

... which explore the most fun / vibrant colour combinations
Although the word "chromatism" exists, it means "abnormal coloration" and it wouldn't stick to the intention of the original. I think it's better if you keep it simple...
Note from asker:
Thanks! With regard to chromatism, I've translated it as vibrant colours given that it's about swimwear. |

Thanks so much, but I'm not sure that "explore" is the word I'm looking for; it doesn't have the same ring to it in English. |
