what to wear to the beach.

Beach season is here to stay. At least for the next little while. That means now is the time to enjoy everything the season has to offer. While there may be truth to the notion that all trends come and go, beach inspired looks are forever. Just think of all the cute cover-ups, fun bathing suits, and flirty accessories there are to enjoy. Why let them go to waste? If you are planning a trip to the beach this summer, the first thing to do is choose the perfect outfit. This guide can make it happen. Here is everything you need to know to look your best at the beach. 

Find The Right Bathing Suit Style For You. Not all bathing suits are alike. There is such a wide variety of styles, cuts, colours, and patterns to choose from. That means whatever your personality or preferences, it is possible to find a stylish bathing suit. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a bikini! In fact, more and more celebrities are ditching those teeny tiny bikinis in favour of swimwear with a little more coverage. When it comes to beach style, the best place to start is with your bathing suit. Consider the style you will be most comfortable in (bikini, retro fit, boy shorts, tankini, and so on) and then look for a suit that catches your eye.

Choose Your Cover Up Items. A fashionable bathing suit is not enough for a day at the beach. You need a cover up to take you from Point A to Point B and back again. The good news? There are tons of stylish options. You can keep it simple with a pair of shorts and a tank top or go for something super girly and fun, like a woven cover up dress, a printed maxi dress, or sophisticated wrap dress. What you choose will depend entirely on where you are headed before and after your beach experience.

Add Ons and Beach Day Accessories. What is a day at the beach without accessories? Okay, you probably aren’t going to wear all of your favourite pieces during a day on the sand, but that doesn’t mean you can’t embrace summer fashion. Think brightly coloured flip-flops, a cute pair of wedges, a summery tote bag, or some trendy temporary flash tattoos. Just because you plan to dip your feet in the water doesn’t mean accessories are off limits.

Layer On Sun Protecting (And Fashionable!) Items. Now to finish off your fashionable day at the beach. Make sure you protect your skin from those harsh summer rays and look great at the same time. In addition to sunscreen (make sure it is broad spectrum to protect you from both UVA and UVB rays), throw on a floppy sun hat, and a stylish pair of oversized sunglasses. These pieces will compliment any beach inspired outfit and keep you safe and happy all day long.

Dreaming of the beach? Then get out there and have some fun. As much as we might want the summer to last forever, the truth is that time always goes by faster than you expect. So make the most of every moment…. in style!
