4 Chic Outfits That Will Take You From Beach To Street
Packing for the beach efficiently can be a chore—and overstuffed, bazillion pound beach bags are not what we're going for. Save a step and skip the post-beach wardrobe by choosing smart, chic outfits that will do double duty on and off the sand.
This modern approach to summer shopping will make your bank account sing (buy less, wear more!) and leave plenty of room in your bag for the necessities: an oversized towel, snacks and, of course, rosé!
Shop out four of our favorite outfit ideas (with styling tips!) below. "No shirt, no shoes" definitely won’t be your problem!
THE PLAYFUL ECLECTIC
Look for a bikini top that doubles as a crop top off the sand. This ruffled set pairs perfectly with a high-waisted skirt with plenty of volume. Mix textured accessories like this straw tote, clean white sandal, and cat-eye sunglasses for a refined look.

THE FASHIONABLY FEMININE
A romantic off-the-shoulder dress in a blush color looks equally fetching after a day of sunbathing for cocktail hour. Tie a printed silk scarf through your hair and add a walkable espadrille wedge for a Meditteranean twist.
