THE PERFECT SWIM LOOK
From coastal escapes to tropical vacations, the perfect beach look is built on effortless summer staples. Here's how our editors create the ultimate beach outfit.
STEP 1: Choose Your Swim Moment
Every great beach look begins with the right swimsuit. Whether you gravitate toward a bikini or a one-piece, choose a style that feels comfortable, flattering, and easy to wear all day long.
One of our favorite brands for summer is Shani Shemer. Known for its flattering fits, playful prints, and effortless cool-girl aesthetic, Shani Shemer offers both bikini and one-piece options that feel as good as they look.
STEP 2: Layer It Up
The best cover-ups do more than just cover your swimsuit—they become part of the outfit. Whether you prefer relaxed shorts, a breezy button-down, or lightweight linen pants, choose pieces that complement your swimwear and can easily transition beyond the beach.
Our go-to? Flowy pants that can take you from the sand straight to lunch, the marina, or a beachside bar without missing a beat.
STEP 3: The Ultimate Throw-On Piece
A sarong or lightweight skirt is one of the most versatile pieces in your beach wardrobe. Perfect for boat days, beach clubs, or simply when you want a little extra coverage, it's the effortless layer you'll reach for all summer long.
The best part? It instantly makes a swimsuit feel like a complete outfit.
STEP 4: Meet Your Summer Carryall
Step 5: Sun-Ready Details
The finishing touches make all the difference. Oversized sunglasses from Tom Ford Eyewear, an Emi Jay claw clip, TKEES sandals, and Lelet NY silver-toned accessories add just enough polish while keeping the look relaxed.
Step 6: Soak It All In
The final step is simple: play your favorite playlist, soak up the sun, and enjoy the day. Whether you’re by the water, on a boat, or heading to dinner after the beach, the perfect summer look feels easy, comfortable, and entirely your own.
Consider this your invitation to cool-girl summer.
