When formulating your perfect beach outfit, there are a lot of factors to consider. You want to be cute for the photodump, but you also need to be staying cool and protect yourself from the sun. Sounds like a time consuming shopping trip, but who has time for that when planning your dream vacation? Luckily, Amazon has everything you need to put together an outfit that is pretty and practical.
Wide-Brim Hat
I shudder to think of the sun hats my parents put me in when I was a child, but this wide-brim sun hat is a much cuter alternative. The straw material creates this casual, bo-ho look, but the UPF 80 marks the highest level of sun protection clothing can have. Not only will this hat protect your skin care routine, it’s foldable to fit in your suitcase.
Sunglasses
For sun protection, covert people watching, or hiding pina colada hangovers, you need a good pair of sunglasses on your beach trip. They go from being a fashion accessory, to a necessary item as you’re squinting into the sun, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be cute. A good pair balances function and fashion, and will serve you on the drive home too.
Linen Shirt
In the oppressive heat of summer, fashion doesn’t need to be stuffy. This breezy linen shirt works beautifully as a swimsuit cover up, and can be dressed up over a tank top or baby tee for a night out. This will not only be a key purchase for your trip, but a usable staple in your home wardrobe.
Sandals
When you need to get your toes in the sand, easy access is key. However, your cute sandals can go beyond grocery store flip flops. These Birkenstock dupes may be exactly what you’re looking for: cute, beachy, and easy to slip off. This staple is well worth the affordable investment.
Accessories
Just because you’re having fun outdoors doesn’t mean you can’t get cute with it. Amazon has several affordable pieces that fit a beach theme: a nautical anklet stack, a cute little necklace, or even a decorative waist chain. These pieces don’t require significant financial investment, a must-have for the beach, but you wouldn’t be able to tell. These accessories are a simple way to elevate any lazy beach outfit.
