Right now, beachy outfits are in. Gone are the days of just throwing on a pair of shorts and heading to the beach. Instead, there are specific pieces that are on-trend and you’ll see everyone wearing them this summer, whether you’re at Miami Beach or are just hanging out in your local town.
Trend #1: Layering
The beachy outfit look is all about layering. You’ll want differently layered pieces in different kinds of fabric. I especially love the layered look with all neutrals. For example, pair a bathing suit with a linen shirt, a straw bag, and a hat to get a multi-dimensional look.
Trend #2: Linen
As always, linen is super popular! I recommend choosing at least one linen piece, especially if you’re going with the layered look.
Trend #3: Crochet
Crochet is huge for beachy outfits this year. Crochet tops, dresses, skirts, pants – you can wear it all!
Trend #4: Oversized T-Shirts & Sweatshirts
If you want a more casual look then opt for oversized t-shirts and sweatshirts in coastal colors (this is a newer, trendier version of the Kennedy beach look).
Trend #5: Neutrals
Like I mentioned before, naturals are huge for beach outfits!
Trend #6: One Piece Swimsuit
Another popular choice for beachy outfits is the ever-so-stylish one-piece swimsuit. One-pieces have been making a comeback in the fashion world, and we’re absolutely loving it. They’re cute, flattering, and can be styled a million different ways. To style a one-piece for the beach, pair it with denim shorts or a maxi skirt. You can also layer it over a crop top or throw on a loose linen top.
