A place in the sun: what to wear to the beach

Whether you are going to the distant shores of the Indian Ocean or the lake closest to your home, the question “what to wear to the beach” is equally relevant. First of all, you need to take into account comfort - things should not only be not restricting movements, but also such that they can be easily and quickly removed. Tight-fitting options can be immediately put aside - after all, the beach is not a red carpet, but a figure can also be shown in a swimsuit. Jeans are also not suitable for the beach - firstly, they are quite hot in them, and secondly, taking them off and on is not so convenient. But you should not forget about fashion trends, even if you mentally cut through the waves - this season, ethnic overalls and pareos, as well as dresses in the style of the Italian coast, are in fashion.

Overalls

Jumpsuit, Missoni; hat, Eugenia Kim; sunglasses, Marc Jacobs; sandals, Tory Burch; bracelet, Aurélie Bidermann; bag, Sensi Studio

A jumpsuit made of light fabric can be a real salvation when you need to create an image for the beach - it is easy to remove, especially if you choose a model with an American armhole with ribbons. We recommend choosing jumpsuits in rich colors with ethnic patterns - others may look too dressy for the beach.

Top and shorts

Top, Vilshenko; shorts, Valentino; sunglasses, Sheriff & Cherry; sandals, backpack, everything - MICHAEL Michael Kors; earrings, Rosantica

A pair of shorts and a top is not so much practical as it is fashionable - with this combination, you can create a combination worthy of the Coachella festival or hipster beach parties. Opt for embroidered denim shorts, a loose top, and add gladiator sandals and round glasses.

Off shoulder dress

Dress, Maje; head ornament, Rosantica; sunglasses, Retrosuperfuture; sandals, Gianvito Rossi; bracelet, Chan Luu; bag, MICHAEL Michael Kors

The free cut of such dresses makes them absolutely indispensable in the summer - and it's not that this season has opened something new here: on the Adriatic coast of Italy, people have been walking like this for more than a dozen years. Just pay attention to the quality of the elastic on the shoulders - it should be wide enough not to rub the skin in the heat. And it is best to combine such a dress with raffia accessories - and this is also greetings from Abruzzo!

Romper

Jumpsuit, Emilio Pucci; necklace, Marni; sunglasses, Illesteva; sandals, Chloé; hat, Eugenia Kim; backpack, Monki

A romper is the same jumpsuit, only not with trousers, but with shorts. What makes it almost the most ideal thing for the beach - and not hot, and very comfortable. When choosing rompers, pay attention to the waist - it must be emphasized with either a line or an elastic band, otherwise there is a risk of looking like a shapeless barrel. And in terms of combinations, there are no special rules: a hat, a backpack and sunglasses are a universal set that will suit the look with this short jumpsuit.

Pareo

Pareo, Mara Hoffman; hat, Eres + Maison Michel; sunglasses, Prada; sandals, Isabel Marant Étoile; swimsuit, Solid & Striped; bag, Saint Laurent

The pareo option is suitable for you if you are relaxing in a resort and you can go to the beach for a maximum of five minutes. In the city, walking in a bathing suit and a wraparound skirt (or a very large shawl twisted) is not entirely decent. You need to choose a pareo for a swimsuit - make sure that the color of the pattern on the pareo rhymes with the shades on your bikini. And since the shoulders in this look will always be open, look for a wide-brimmed hat - to hide the skin in its shadow.

caftan

Kaftan, Dolce & Gabbana; hat, Eugenia Kim; espadrilles, Tory Burch; sunglasses, Jimmy Choo; bra, briefs, all - Eres; necklace, Mango; bag, Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini

This piece of clothing must be worn on a swimsuit, but not on underwear - it is usually made from the lightest and most translucent thin fabric. Therefore, it is also better to go to the beach in such a caftan from your own bungalow, or at least along a picturesque winding road - so that there is something to see besides your peeping bikini. You can combine a caftan with the same light fes - woven espadrilles, straw hats and handbags, and weightless jewelry.

Maxi dress

Dress, Hatch; bag, Dune; sandals, Chloé; sunglasses, Fendi; bezel, Rosantica; bracelet, Mizuki

If all the previous options seemed too ordinary to you and you cannot leave the house without dressing up, then you should go to the beach in a long dress. But in order to somehow reduce the degree of pathos, choose a dress with an American armhole and bright vibrant colors. There should be no extra details (except, perhaps, prints) on such a dress, and from jewelry you can afford thin bracelets and a headband.
