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!
