Maxi Dress
When it comes to beach essentials, we like to pack as many maxi dresses as possible! They’re fun, flirty, and perfect for spending a day out in the sun. However, they’re also versatile pieces that can easily transition to a night-out look. Just like this multi-print V-neck maxi or this cobalt blue sheth kaftan.
Linen Pants
Add a pair of linen pants to your list of things to pack for the beach. Made from lightweight materials, you won’t have to worry about getting too sweaty or hot in these. A wide-leg, neutral-colored pant looks great with a patterned crop top or blouse. But for something more unique, we recommend these gorgeous floral pants for more pizazz!
Flowy Jumpsuit
As one of our favorite trends, the flowy jumpsuit, is a must-have for your beach vacation. Even with the sea breeze, you won’t have to worry about any dresses or skirts flying up! Check out this strapless harem jumpsuit or this solid color tie-front number. Both are perfect for the beach or for a casual pool-side lunch!
Cut-out One Piece
Swimsuits are the ultimate in beach essentials, and we’re starting to love the look of one-piece swimsuits more than two-piece bikinis! They’re so versatile with many unique patterns, styles, and shapes that we can’t wait to wear them on vacation. For example, this swimsuit has an eye-catching tropical print and a bikini-style back. Or opt for this cute one-piece with a ruched neckline and cut-out front!
Tunic Dresses
Tunic dresses are the new mini dresses! Their light and breezy look is ultra-flattering on all body shapes and sizes. Plus, they usually have sleeves that can help you stay warm from the chilly breeze once the sun sets. One of our favorite tunic dresses is the Maeve. We like it for the flared bell sleeves and ruched cut-out back, make it a showstopping piece, and we know you will too! However, you can’t go wrong with a classic embroidered Greek-style tunic either!
Beach Cover-Up
Don’t just toss on an old t-shirt and baggy shorts to hit the beach when you can still look stylish with one of these stunning, colorful beach cover-ups! The Brea Cover-Up is a breathable cotton dress with flared sleeves and a deep V neckline. If you want something sleeveless, pick this mini halter to throw over your bikini! But not all cover-ups have to be dresses. You can rock this sexy beach wrap while you make your way your way to and from the hotel!
Sandals
Don’t forget a comfy pair of sandals! These beach essentials will tie your entire outfit together. The classic Birkenstock sandal not only gives off major boho vibes, but they’re super comfortable for everyday wear too. You can also opt for a neutral slide, like this leather slip-on slide by Silent D.
