Ahh
the summer. Light strands of hair, sun-touched skin and the smell of salt in
the air. Some people live near the cost, some more continental, but when you're
at the seaside, this is what it all comes down to. If you're lucky to live in a
place like Australia, where most cities are also located on the coast, the
beach is practically your second home, and beachwear probably takes up a lot of
your closet.
With
the rise of platforms like pinterest and weheartit, it has never been more
apparent than now that small details are what it's all about. There are also
many things you could incorporate into your beach attire to make it a bit more
interesting and outstanding, but be careful not to go too far- when you're
there you still want to focus on having fun with your friends, playing sports
and enjoying the ocean waves instead of trying to locate your jewelry or fix
the smudged makeup.
Swimsuit
Depending
on your sense of style and your body type, you can choose from over a dozen
types of tops and bottoms, or even opt for a retro one piece. Bright neon
colors will make your tan more noticeable, whereas polka-dot and striped prints
in navy, white and red are classic. With a wide variety of online ladies swimwear stores in Australia,
it has never been quicker and easier to find a perfect model.
Beachwear
From
just showy pieces to clothes that will actually protect your sensitive skin
from the sun, there are many things you can incorporate into your beach outfit
to make it a bit more interesting. Jeans shorts are a timeless piece, but you
can pair it up with a laces crochet top or a light flowy chiffon top. If you’re
going for a more relaxed style, light-fabric singlets are always a way to go-
chose one with an Aztec or geometric print, or one with your favorite band,
singer or quote on it. And let’s not forget about footwear- if you’re going to
a sandy beach, steer clear of intricate sandals and platform wedges. A good old
pair of thongs or tennis shoes is the best choice.
Perfect
Pair of Shades
Besides
being very important for protecting your eyes against UV rays, a good pair of
sunglasses can also be a cool way to bring out your fashion style. Even though
not all frames will fit the shape of your face, some of pretty versatile and
will fit almost any type of face. If you want a more fancy look, go for an
oval, butterfly or cat-eye shape, whereas the laid-back style will be
complemented better with pilot, clubmaster, roung or rectangle style glasses.
Jewelry
Wearing
heaps of jewelry at the beach is something you might want to avoid. If not for
all the crazy tan lines you’re going to get, metal jewelry can get damaged from
so much exposure to water, and you would be very sorry if something were to
happen to one of your more expensive pieces. Luckily, stackable friendship bracelets
are one of the biggest summer must haves- they are easy to DIY and they are
pretty durable and bright. Even if something happens to them, you can always
make a new one with some cord, beads, shells or whatever you feel like putting
on them.
Bring
your long strands into a messy boho-inspired braid, put on a few accessories
and your favorite bikini you will be ready for a perfect day at the beach. And
keep in mind that less is more when it comes to styling your outfit for the
beach, you want to enjoy your time, not stress about losing a piece of your
jewelry or ripping your favorite top.
