Beach Outfit Ideas You'll Want to Copy Whether You're in Croatia or Cornwall
If you're anything like me, you're probably itching to get to a beach right now. We've suffered through a long, stagnant (socially distanced) spring, and now is the time for the weather to warm up so we can all take a much-deserved dip in the ocean—or at the very least a scenic beach pic to post on our Instagrams.
Whether you're able to get to the Mediterranean for some guaranteed good weather or are opting for a beach trip a little closer to home, seawater is sure to do you some good. So, what to wear on a trip to the seaside? Social media is, as expected, brimming with ideas.
From cover-ups that can double as dresses to oversize shirts and fluid shorts, there are so many fun ways to dress up your swimwear this season. Why not take a leaf out of Jeanette Madsen's book and wear your bathing suit with a pair of striped trousers? Or look to Aysha Sow for inspiration and wear an all-white ensemble complete with a bucket hat while strolling on the sand?
As usual, the opportunities are endless, but below are six outfits ideas I'd like to copy while at the beach this summer.

@aysha.sowStyle Notes: From the bucket hat to the trousers, this tonal look is the ultimate beach-stroll ensemble, complete with comfy footwear and a beige-toned backpack.

@amaka.hamelijnckStyle Notes: We've seen quite a few shirt-and-short sets already this summer, but Amaka's oversize shirt and drawstring shorts just might take the cake as our favourite.

@_jeanettemadsen_Style Notes: Jeanette Madsen always looks enviably stylish, and this relaxed beach look is no different. We love the way she's paired her striped jeans with a bikini top and sun-smart accessory.

@chrissyfordStyle Notes: An oversize shirt is my favourite kind of cover-up. It's perfect on its own if you're by the beach or pool. Simply add denim shorts for a more put-together look.

@bettinalooneyStyle Notes: An intricate, woven or embroidered beach dress is a great cover-up option. Here, Bettina Looney pairs hers with a one-piece swimsuit and heeled mules.
