Beach Outfits Tips – What to Wear to the Beach – When choosing the ideal outfit for a day at the beach, it must be something comfortable, cool and versatile enough to take us seamlessly from the sand to a relaxing sunset dinner by the coast. One of our top picks that ticks all the boxes is a dress; with an endless array of styles, silhouettes and fabrics you’re sure to find one you adore this season.
If you’re looking for some inspiration for your next beach ready look, we’ve curated a list of some of our favourite pieces.
Maxi dress
Usually featuring an A-line or flowing skirt that finishes at your ankles, a maxi dress oozes sophistication and femininity, elongating your figure and creating the most stunning silhouette. When searching for the perfect beach maxi, look for a relaxed fit, breathable lightweight fabric and bold, summery print. Throw it on over your bikini and pair it with leather slides and an oversized woven bag for a bohemian inspired beach look.

Button up dress
One of the most versatile styles, a button up dress can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. If you’re heading off on vacation, nail your beach club outfit by wearing a button up dress open over your favourite bikini or swimsuit and add a woven hat and sunglasses. If your night takes you from the beach club to the bar, simply button it up and add some dainty gold jewels.
Mini dress
On those scorching hot days in the height of summer, the less clothing, the better. Keep things casual by slipping a flowing mini dress over your bikini or swimsuit. A sweeping low back or halterneck straps give a chic touch to even the simplest of dresses. Experiment with bright, eye catching shades and animalistic or geometric inspired patterns to find your ideal look.
Strapless dress
A strapless bikini top and strapless dress is a match made in heaven when it comes to beach ready outfits. Flattering your upper body, opt for a mini or maxi length beach dress and you’re bound to turn heads all summer long. A strapless dress with a bodice style top gives you a gorgeous shape, whilst a smock style is our go to for comfort all day long.
Whether your ideal summer uniform consists of a flowing maxi dress, chic button up dress, feminine mini dress or stunning strapless dress, explore our top picks to find the newest addition to your beach ready wardrobe. Level up your look by adding woven and rattan accessories, simple leather slides and gold jewels.
