Now’s the perfect weather to take a relaxing trip to the beach. But, that relaxing trip can quickly become stressful when you don’t know what to wear. Dressing for the beach can be more complicated than just picking out the perfect swimsuit. We are here to help you with that complication.
Cover-up Dresses
Again, these can be layered over swimwear when you are ready to leave the sand. Light and airy, these are perfectly in rhythm with the humidity. You don’t have to tie them up like sarongs, and they come in different styles to choose from – kaftans, ponchos or kimonos.
Bikinis/Monokinis
If you plan on getting into the water, a good swimsuit is essential. Been working hard at the gym? Here is your chance to redeem those strenuous hours and flaunt your gains.
If, however, bikinis make you feel uncomfortable, high-waisted bikinis and tankinis are great options too. You shouldn’t have to feel like a misfit in your jeans among all the bikini-clad women and let your insecurities double. Just pick the one that suits your body type the best. Make sure that you wear bikinis only in the beach/pool areas and not in general public places unless you want to be a walking showpiece.
Sarongs
We know bikinis are not exactly everybody’s picnic. A sarong is something ideal especially for them curvy bods out there. These wraparounds go with the beachy vibe and can be easily thrown over your swimwear. You could even turn a sarong into a dress, wrapping style and comfort together. They come in a large variety of vibrant colours, accentuating the overall vacation mood and can be tied up in different ways.
Cotton Shorts
When on a beach holiday, it is always wise to carry fabrics that dry up easily. Denim shorts not only take their sweet time while drying, but they can also be quite intolerable in the heat. Not to mention the numerous pockets that will have sand pouring out of them for weeks.
Spaghettis/Tank tops
Leave your formal looking shirts and dull T-shirts at home. Save space in your bags by packing basic halter-neck spaghettis and racer-back tanks that you are unable to wear normally. The best part is that they can be paired with almost anything.
Loose-fitting trousers
Now, there are some of you who are either less inclined to wearing shorts or simply don’t want to get tan lines on your legs. Harem pants, wide-leg pants, linen cargos, palazzos, culottes and gipsy pants are your best friends.
Don’t forget to carry sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat for your trip to beach. Keep things looking beachy with lightweight fabrics, light and bright colors, playful prints, loose silhouettes and simple accessories.
