The holidays have been and gone. If you enjoyed your Summer break by soaking up the sun (when possible) then the thought of going back to your 9-5 may spark some holiday blues. But there’s one thing that going back to work can’t stop us from doing – is reliving our sun-soaked pass time at the beach this weekend.

Thankfully, beach looks don’t mean a bikini and coverup anymore, we’ve evolved. From one-piece bikini’s that double as a bodysuit paired with wide-leg pants to monochrome looks that work perfectly with your capsule wardrobe. Keep scrolling to discover the most fashionably chic beach to bar looks below and yes, you can pack the exact outfits for your next vacation, margarita in hand, of course.

#1 BEACH KAFTAN OUTFIT

Okay, this isn’t so much as an evolution from the ol’ coverup but a classic kaftan is always in style, just with a minimalist makeover. Throw the oversized kaftan over a one-piece bikini and pair it with a chunky sandal, an oversized tote and throw your hair up in a clip to complete the look.

#2 Matching Skirt Set

If there’s anything the pandemic proved, it’s that we love a matching set—whether loungewear, knitwear or beachwear. Dress up your beach outfit with a bright coloured top and maxi skirt set to wear down to the ocean and back up to dinner. Opt for fun y2k accessories and a mini woven basket bag to elevate the outfit while keeping it seemingly casual.

#3 ALL BLACK EVERYTHING

You know we love black! From its monochromatic colour palette to the pairing of a strappy bikini top and silk midi, this is the ultimate beach to bar get up. Complete the outfit with your go-to sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat for minimalist beach style.

#4 Button Down Shirt and BANDEAU

Consider this look the new beach uniform. A classic oversized shirt paired with a silk bandana scarf, and a two-piece bikini underneath is an effortless yet incredibly chic beach look that can indeed be worn more than once.

#5 One Piece & Linen Pants

There is complete ease when it comes to wearing a wide-legged linen trouser with a one-piece bikini that doubles as a bodysuit. That’s because 10/10 times the combination never fails. Play around with a bright mood-boosting bikini paired with neutral coloured linen pants.

#6 DENIM SHORTS & Oversized Shirt

Forever the classic beach outfit —nothing has transcended time like the denim shorts especially when paired with a classic white button-down shirt. Update the look with denim cut-offs and a bright coloured shirt paired with a matching bright tote.
