Going on a beach holiday this summer? Girlfriend, don’t just buy bikinis – you should also make sure you look your best outside the water! Seriously, all those Instagram posts won’t be complete without the cutest outfits!
Here are five summer women’s fashion beach styles that you can check out before you head to your beach getaway.
Boho Summer is Bohemian season, so it would be a great look to sport when you want to spend time at the beach. It’s primarily composed of light and laid-back pieces, so your bags won’t have to exceed the airline’s limit.
The essentials of this style include cut-off shorts, crochet tops, fringed kimonos, peasant tops, floppy hats, flower crowns, and flowy maxi dresses. Pick them out in neutral colors and don’t be afraid of prints.s
Who should you channel to nail this look? Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie, and Vanessa Hudgens are just some of the most popular celebrities who love Bohemian fashion.
All-White
Vogue recently created a list of the hottest resort trends of 2018 and the all-white look is featured in almost every shot. It’s as simple as it sounds; you just have to wear all-white to wear this trend. It has a crisp, clean, and light feel, making it the perfect look for the warmest months.
To really highlight the chicness of this look, you can always add a pop of color into your look. Wearing an all-white ensemble with an unexpected pop of color will add excitement to your appearance. If you want to look classic, you can also just go for a sharp, black accessory to create a contrast in your look.
Regatta Chic
Going for a classic, sophisticated look for the summer is also a popular trend, especially for more mature ladies. To create this look, just dress the way you would if you’re going to be partying it up in a fancy yacht. Key pieces for this style often include light jumpsuits in bright colors and flowy maxi dresses.
Stripes
The stripes trend is ever present all year long but it has a special place in the summer. The style is reminiscent of the French Navy’s Breton stripes so it tends to bring some romance and nostalgia with it.
How can you make this look work for the summer months? Stick with loose and flowy tops and dress shirts. Don’t forget to cinch in the waist, though, to accentuate your summer bod. You should balance the volume out by showing some skin, too. Match them with shorts or pick out pieces with longer slits.
A lot of designers have also given their spin on the classic print by adding colors, changing the lines’ orientation, or adding more variety to the repetitive patterns. You can try these pieces out, too, to give your stripes a more pronounced summer vibe.
Bold Prints
Plaids, polka dots, fruits, ethnic, tropical foliage, and florals are just some of the few prints that you can don during your summer getaway. Anything that will remind you of the warm months will give you the most charming look while sunbathe or take long walks by the beach.
With so many different options to choose from, it might get overwhelming, so it’s best to work with what you’re most comfortable with. Not everyone feels at ease wearing a very cute cherry print, but the ensemble works with plaid. In fact, not everyone is daring enough to wear bold prints so it’s okay if this is just not your style.
No matter what style you choose for your beach holiday look, the most important thing is that you’re comfortable with what you’re wearing. As you’re supposed to be relaxing and taking a break from the hustle and bustle of your daily life, wearing something you’re not comfortable with for the sake of fashion kind of defeats the purpose, wouldn’t you agree? Go for a style that falls within the realm of your fashion sense and personality and you’re sure to shine!
