Beachwear FAQs
What should I wear on a beach holiday?
Beach holidays are all about relaxation, so you should pack clothes that are easy to slip on over your swimwear and that you’ll feel comfy lounging in all day long. From lightweight beach dresses you can wear for lunch on the sand to cover ups you can slip on to take a walk along the shores, your holiday wardrobe will be full in no time. Co-ords and matching sets are also perfect for sunny days on the beach - just add a wide brimmed hat and wicker beach bag, and you’re set for hours of peaceful bliss.
How do I wear a beach shirt?
Shirts aren’t just for the office, but versatile pieces you can style for almost any occasion, including the beach. You’ll want one that’s loose fitting and lightweight to keep you cool in the sun, so opt for fabrics like cotton and linen. Oversized shirts work particularly well on holiday because they’re easy to throw on over your swimsuit, or tuck into denim shorts.
At Klass, we love longline shirts in the holiday suitcase. Pop one on over your swimwear and do the buttons up for a modest beachwear look, or leave them undone for a cool and casual fit (not to mention a welcome breeze in the heat!).
View all ladies shirtsWhat are beach cover ups called?
Beach cover ups have different names depending on their style:
- Kimonos are a popular choice of beach cover up because they’re easy to throw on over your swimsuit to head to or from the beach.
- The humble cardigan also has a place in the beach bag. Like a kimono, you can pop one on over your summer dress as the temperature dips and voila, you’ve got an outfit to take you from beach to bar in no time.
- Sarongs and scarves are staples for the beach, too, and offer extra colour and comfort when you’re looking to cover up.
What dress to wear to a beach wedding?
Beach weddings are glorious affairs that deserve equally gorgeous dresses! Nuptials are likely to take place under the sun, so choose dresses in lightweight fabrics, like cotton or linen, and opt for looser styles to keep cool.
For more formal affairs, you can’t go wrong with a classic patterned pleated dress paired with statement sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to keep you comfortable while looking elegant. And for more casual beach weddings, we love colourful maxi dresses that exude that whimsical, romantic feeling. Add a pair of flat sandals and a tassel clutch bag, and you’ll be ready to dance on the sand all evening long.
How should I dress at the beach?
What you wear to the beach should make you feel fabulous and confident, no matter where you are in the world.
- A simple cami top tucked into denim shorts is a classic look, which you can keep casual with trainers or elevate with wide sunglasses and a pair of embellished sandals.
- For hotter days, a flowing, strappy maxi dresswill keep you cool under the rays, but remember to pack a cover up to throw on over the top in case of breezier moments!
- Why not try a longline shirt over your swimsuit for a classy beach-ready look? Accessorise with an oversized beach bag to carry your suncream and shades in, and you’ll have everything you need for a stunning day on the sand.
