Finding a great swimsuit is not all that you need for a great day at the beach, but there are a series of other elements that will create a glamorous outfit!
So, first of all, let’s have a look at a couple of things that you should keep in mind when deciding what to wear for the seaside and then let’s see a selection of the 6 best beach outfits from which you can take inspiration.
Choose cotton over synthetic materials
Synthetic materials will definitely make you sweat your soul out during a hot day, so they are definitely not ideal for the beach.
Choose instead items in cotton and prefer light colors to dark ones in order to keep the heat away.
Hats, hats, hats
They are not only good for preventing you from having a sun stroke, but they are also the glamorous finishing touch to any outfit.
You can choose them in different materials, but a straw hat for the beach is definitely something that should not miss from your wardrobe.
The maxi dress
Nothing says more summer than a chic maxi dress. This summer, for the beach, go for one with big and bold stripes on it and wear it with a large brim hat for a diva look.
The kaftan
The kaftan is the perfect cover-up to wear over your swimsuit. It is usually made in a really light and see-through material which is great to keep you fresh and make the air circulate better.
Don’t exaggerate with the accessories
For going to the beach, less is more when it comes to accessories. Metal accessories will in fact tend to heat up pretty fast with the risk of burning your skin!
Most people will associate beach looks with skirts and maxi dresses, but have you ever tried to wear pants instead? If you wear them in a really light color, such as white or beige, and material, they can be a great solution for the beach, like Gwen Stefani shows us with this look.
She is wearing a pair of comfortable long pants together with a one-shoulder white top and a glamorous camisole thrown on top casually (or maybe not?).
She is completing the whole with lots of accessories, like a really cool straw hat and some metallic jewelry (although be careful not to wear them if the sun is really hot as they will burn your skin and I have explained before).
Are we that surprised at all that Rachel Zoe, celebrity stylist and designer, turned celebrity herself thanks to the reality television program “The Rachel Zoe Project” and who is famous for her boho-chic style, wears black also at the beach?
Here she is with her super cute son Skyler, wearing a long, asymmetric dress and a pair of flip flops. Rachel goes against rule number one of always wearing light colors at the beach in order to keep the heat away, but because she is a V.I.P. stylist we can forgive her that.
It is actually a great solution if you go to a location that is not too hot. It will give you that air of mystery and sophistication and it will make you for sure stand out from the crowd!
Kim Kardashian knows for certain how to enhance her curves and she should be a model to look up to for all those curvy women who don’t know what to wear to the beach.
Some women might not feel totally comfortable in going to the seaside just because they are not totally confident about their own bodies, but you should know that also when you get so undressed there are some fashion tricks that will help you hide your flaws.
For instance, this gorgeous white one-piece swimsuit is absolutely perfect if you have an hourglass shape, as it is really tight on the waist, which is the thinnest part of your body, and makes you look sexier and slimmer all together.
If you wear it then with a light and long button dress in the same color as the swimsuit you cannot go wrong and you will look très chic from head to toe.
Who said that you cannot look glamorous at the beach if you are pregnant? Most women try to hide their baby bump, often by staying in their rooms all day or wearing really dark clothes that make them look a bit slimmer, but there is nothing to be ashamed of!
You are not fat, you are just pregnant and you should be proud to show that around. Take inspiration from Victoria Beckham, now mother of four, who definitely knows how to be pregnant in style. She wears a bright red maxi dress to the seaside and I challenge anyone to tell me that she doesn’t look utterly fabulous.
She also shows off a bit more cleavage, now a lot bigger than usual of course, with pride and the empire waist of the dress makes her feel comfortable and sexy even if she is about to give birth.
Nicole Richie is the queen of the boho-chic style, a look that is characterized by its light and floaty materials, large and comfortable cuts and bright colors.
Jumpsuits are for sure one of the staple items of this style, which combines glamour and comfort, and they are also great to wear at the beach, like Nicole shows us. You can either go for a short or a long one, the important thing is that you get it in a non-synthetic and light material and you go for a light color.
If you want to make a statement, you can also choose a neon color light this bright orange. You will be able to run around and play with your kids all day long!
Jessica Alba has always loved simple looks and she proves it again here at the beach. I have already said that kaftans are the perfect cover-ups for the seaside and here is the demonstration of it.
Jessica wears a classic kaftan with a very simple pattern together with a pair of white shorts underneath to cover the transparency of the top.
A very easy and effortless beach look, that is completed perfectly by the super cool hat that she is wearing!
