Beachin’ It

5 Essential Pieces for a Coastal Weekend Getaway

Fall is nearing and the last few weeks of summer are upon us, time to squeeze in as many beach trips as possible. As your packing up the car with beach towels, sunscreen, and lawn chairs make sure to pack these five essential pieces in your suitcase.

Pareo

It’s really just a simple, wide piece of sheer polyester but its versatility makes it so much more. Tie it around the waist or up around the bust for a super easy, super chic swimsuit cover up. Unfold and lay it out when you get to the beach for a beach blanket. With a simple slip dress underneath, it can even double as a going-out dress.

Cut-Off Shorts

Cut-off denim shorts are a beach bum necessity, toss them on over your suit for a morning stroll along the waters edge or pair them with a classic hooded sweatshirt and a pair of Uggs for a nighttime bonfire on the beach.

Knitted Sweater

The end of the summer means when the sun sets, the temperatures are bound to drop. Make sure to pack a super comfy cotton knitted sweater that you can throw on to combat the cold when the sun goes down.

Shirtdress

A chambray or lightweight denim shirtdress is such an easy piece. Take it on the sand as a beach cover-up and go straight out for a night on the town without having to do a wardrobe change.

Boyfriend Denim

Skinny jeans aren’t practical for the beach; they’re much to constricting. Swap out the skinnies for a pair of loose boyfriend denim to keep things breezy, simply roll up the bottom to dip your toes into the waves.
