Soon everyone, and especially the female half of the population, will be worries about what summer vacation clothes are the most suitable and necessary, what should you take on a trip in the first place? This issue needs a very detailed consideration, because it is undesirable to spoil the long-awaited trip with anything, and all the little things must be provided for.

Must-haves for a seaside vacation

1. Let's start with the most important thing - a swimsuit.
Yes, yes, make sure you put it in your suitcase after all. It’s even better to take two bathing suits for a change. While one is wet and has not had time to dry, you will put on the second. Several swimsuits are taken if they plan to stay by the sea for more than three weeks. It is desirable to have both a separate and a one-piece closed swimsuit. It is not uncommon for them to take absolutely everything with them, and forget the most important element at home. Of course, you can buy another one on the spot, but clothes are often very expensive in resort areas. And why bother with extra spending? After all, you probably bought yourself the best swimsuit a month before your vacation, which looks great on your figure.

2. Dress or sundress.
Light, loose dresses and sundresses made of natural fabrics, they can be long and short, in pastel colors or bright colors. It all depends on your preferences. T-shirt dresses are also a great choice for relaxing. If you add sunglasses and flip flops to them, the image is ready.

If you are going on an excursion in the city where you are relaxing, then you need to take shorts and a cotton T-shirt so that it absorbs sweat well and you do not feel any discomfort.

4. Evening vacation summer dress.
If you want to taste the cuisine of the country in which you will relax on the sea, then an evening dress will come in handy so that you have something to go to a restaurant. It is not at all necessary that it be embroidered with beads and various pebbles. A discreet casual dress is enough - in combination with exquisite jewelry, it will look just gorgeous on you.

5. White dress or white blouse and skirt or trousers.
It is not uncommon for hotels to hold parties in the style of "White Nights". To get to them there is a condition: a pass is only for people dressed in white clothes, so take care of this outfit in advance: put white clothes in your suitcase in advance. Be sure to take a white dress or sundress. A white top will look very summery. Indispensable both in the city and on vacation - a white T-shirt.

6. Jacket or warm jacket for rainy days and boat trips
A light summer jacket (jacket) or sweater is a necessary thing on any trip, it will help you out both on a boat trip, and in the rain, and on the way to the place of rest and back. Nights by the sea can be quite cool, so if you are going to walk along the promenade, take something warmer than a swimsuit with you.

Bring a light nighttime set of shorts and a T-shirt. They should be made of good, natural fabric. Fabric recommendations apply to underwear as well.


A little about summer shoes:

For an elegant dress, you should definitely take appropriate platform shoes with you, and forget about stilettos for a while. After all, the platform is much more convenient, and suitable for different styles of clothing.

Accessories:

1. Straw hats and panamas
These elements of the wardrobe help us out even in the city, when we spend time on the street in the midst of the heat, and even on the open-air beach, a straw or felt hat with large brim will be simply necessary.

2. Sunglasses
A pair of sunglasses should not be missing from your list of things to take on vacation, as they combine elegance with functionality. They will protect your eyes like no other from the ultraviolet rays of the scorching sun.

3. Bijouterie and jewelry
Costume jewelry, especially in a marine style, brings a lot of freshness and immediacy to our image. At sea, you can relax and let yourself wear such charming trinkets.

What other things do you need to take with you on vacation?

  • large beach bag
  • umbrella in case of rain

Try to take things that are comfortable and your favorite to relax, and not puzzle over what to wear.

As for basic clothing, it is better to give preference to blouses, dresses, tops and shorts made of thin, light and natural fabrics.

The long-awaited vacation is just around the corner, and you are counting the days until you meet the sea. It's time to start packing your suitcases!

If you decide to go on vacation light, with only hand luggage or a small bag, this is more than reasonable. The road will seem easier and less burdensome if you do not have to strain yourself, dragging heavy suitcases from the airport to the station and back.

But how to fit all the necessary things in one bag? It's simple: create a capsule wardrobe.

How to select things?

Given the limited volume of the suitcase, every thing that you take with you should really "deserve" your ticket to overseas countries. Consider the following criteria:

  • Wrinkle-resistant fabric(highly desirable, but not necessary if you know for sure that you will have an iron at your disposal)
  • Easy Care(so that, on occasion, the item can be washed from spilled juice without going to dry cleaning)
  • Versatility(can be combined with at least 2-3 items from the wardrobe)
  • Stylish(to enjoy looking at your summer photos)

Now let's get started on your holiday wardrobe!

Dress

A loose summer dress made of lightweight fabric is a real vacation "uniform". It is easy to put on, easy to roll up. It does not take up much space and looks very feminine.

Given that the 70s are in trend this season, pay attention to floral print dresses.

Romper or jumpsuit

Another thing from the category of "put on and go." The only delicate nuance: or overalls should not complicate your life when you go to the ladies' room to powder your nose.

Scarf

If you are heading south, you will have a hard time without a light scarf. You can wrap yourself in it on a cool evening, protect your head from the sun, cover your bare shoulders during an excursion to the temple, or use it as a pareo. And he will add zest to the simplest image.

Choose it so that it fits with all the clothes that you take with you.

Shorts

Pack one or two pairs of decent-length shorts into your suitcase. Preferably made of breathable material: linen or cotton. But the ultra-short shorts that everyone wore indiscriminately last year, firstly, are no longer in fashion, and, secondly, they look out of place in the city. You can wear them only on the beach.

Trousers

No jeans, it's summer! Pants made of lightweight fabric are no less comfortable, but they are not hot in them, and they look more interesting.

Tops

What you should not save space on is T-shirts and T-shirts. There should be at least twice as many of them as the "bottom". For example, take one pants, two shorts and a skirt with you - put at least eight tops in your bag.

Swimsuit

Of course, if you have not decided to spend your holidays in Iceland, you will be nowhere without a swimsuit in the summer. True, even in Iceland it would be useful to you to swim in the thermal springs.

Just in case, you can take two swimsuits if you are going to the sea for more than a week.

Jean jacket

Much more stylish and versatile than a cardigan, a denim jacket will save you in case of a cold snap.

Sandals

This season, gladiators are in fashion, and, you see, they are very comfortable! In addition, they do not take up much space, which is very beneficial to us.

Comfortable shoes

Depending on your preferences, it can be slip-ons, sneakers, creepers, moccasins - whatever. The main thing is that the shoes give good support to the foot and, preferably, have a heel shock absorber (after all, you will be walking a lot while exploring the sights!).

Elegant ballet flats

Taking heels with you for one trip to a restaurant is not a good idea. It is better to throw elegant ballet flats in your suitcase, which are perfect for the evening.

Flip flops

For the beach and soul. A trifle, but very important!

Decorations

Don't take your entire jewelry box with you on vacation. Stop for one or two pieces of jewelry that will complement any look.

Sunglasses

They should be stylish, fit the shape of your face, and provide good UV protection.

Red lipstick

We know that this is not exactly a wardrobe item, but still, red lipstick is also an accessory to some extent.

On vacation, when you don’t want to burden yourself with makeup and styling, just make up your lips and you immediately look more elegant. Checked!

Fashion & Style Summer clothes you shouldn't wear to the office

The sun, heat, stuffiness, soul and body are asking for the sea - soon this is inevitable. It's time to think over your office summer wardrobe.

Most of us are waiting for the summer to take a vacation and rush to where the sun leaves a bronze tan and the water gives new strength. Someone is attracted by the ocean, others traditionally go to the sea, others are quite happy with the river beach. It's a matter of taste! But in any case, during the holidays, beachwear for men becomes an indispensable attribute of the wardrobe. How to choose things to look spectacular and stylish even on vacation? We will reveal a few secrets that will help you quickly get ready for a vacation and not hit your face in the dirt.


Choosing the top for a beach look

T-shirt

A similar top on the beach is most common. Why? Firstly, the T-shirt is incredibly comfortable, and secondly, it is practical. In addition, while you are in it, there is no need to bathe about a collar rubbing your neck or an inopportunely torn off button. Today you can choose a T-shirt for any wardrobe item (shorts, sandals, cap). And the variety of colors offered can satisfy the tastes of teenagers, young people aged 25-35 or men over 50. You can walk around the resort town in a T-shirt, go on an excursion to local attractions and even take a yacht cruise. This is the “put on and wear” option that everyone dreams of!

What T-shirt to choose? The neckline can be anything (round, V-shaped), but it is better to approach the selection of the length with all seriousness. Remember that a T-shirt is considered ideal, the hem of which reaches the middle of the buttocks. This option does not look like a baby's undershirt or a women's mini-dress. T-shirts look spectacular with bermudas, shorts, denim, sport trousers with a discreet cut, casual chinos. Here the choice will depend on the personal preferences of the man. But do not ignore the rules for combining colors in clothes, since this is one of the paramount secrets of the style of anyone, including a beach look.

T-shirt

The main advantage of this wardrobe item is that it allows you to demonstrate to others the cast muscles of the arms, back, and chest. That's when you get pleasure from the thought that it was not in vain that you worked on your body in the gym for months on end! In addition, the T-shirt is the best solution for a hot day or any kind of outdoor sports (beach volleyball, surfing, etc.). It is flexible, dries quickly and allows the wind to naturally cool the body better than a T-shirt or shirt with sleeves.

For a beach wardrobe, a plain or printed classic T-shirt, wrestling, sports models are suitable. They go well with summer jeans, as well as shorts and sport-style trousers.

Shirt with sleeves

This is an ideal option for those who, even on vacation, do not accept a sporty style of clothing or decide to visit a local restaurant, gambling house, or a formal event in the evening where you can’t take off your jacket. During the day, opt for checkered, vertical striped, abstract and botanical prints (such as Hawaiian style) in breathable cotton or linen. They are appropriate on the beach, in cafes, resort shops. For an evening promenade, you can save a more spectacular silk shirt. In this case, the priority is for a solid color, as well as a print in the form of royal lilies and a thin strip.

In a holiday look, the shirt is equally organic in alliance with jeans, slightly narrowed down or straight trousers made of cotton and linen, Bermuda shorts.

Polo

We can say that this is a transitional form between a T-shirt and a short-sleeved shirt. Therefore, polo companions should be looked for precisely among their partners. I recommend to tilt your choice towards classic or laconic sports trousers. Also in favor are Bermuda shorts, knee-length denim and cotton shorts.


We select the bottom for a beach look

Above, I have already mentioned what bottoms T-shirts, T-shirts, polos and shirts are combined with. Therefore, I will simply list the possible variations again.

Shorts

They are most popular among men who have a rest on the river, sea, ocean coast. These can be short models in a sporty style, shorts of medium length, as well as just above the knee or 5-10 centimeters below it (bermuda shorts). It is optimal to take with you a bottom made of natural or synthetic fabrics, which are highly breathable and dry quickly. The latter are found in models of sports brands such as Nike, Adidas, Umbro, and others.

Bermuda shorts - the best solution for a beach wardrobe

Trousers

Linen and cotton models of light colors with a straight or slightly tapered cut are of particular priority. The choice of the bottom of the outfit depends on the individual taste of the man, as well as the place where you intend to wear the pants. On the beach, models with straight legs and sport-style are relevant, but chinos will harmoniously fit into a set of clothes for an excursion, a walk around the resort town, visiting a cafe, a nightclub. Take classic trousers in dark colors with you if you plan to attend a formal event or any other formal party.

Fabric selection

In the summer, clothing made from natural fabrics (cotton, linen, knitwear) is still a priority. It allows you to optimize the thermal balance of the body and not overheat under the scorching rays of the sun. However, the global chemical industry does not stand still, working for the benefit of consumers. Therefore, today many sports stores offer beachwear for men, made from no less practical and functional textiles that have a longer service life. It is based on synthetic fibers that dry in the shortest period, are not afraid of aggressive natural environments and even allow the body to breathe. All these little things only enhance the man's pleasure from the rest.

Beach shoes

When choosing this component of the image, pay attention to its convenience, practicality and lightness. After all, the beach is a mass of loose, penetrating sand everywhere, as well as water, which can also be excessively salty. Your shoes must be able to withstand the harsh environment and not rub your feet. Why spoil your vacation with such trifles?

Among the beach leaders are:

  • Flip flops;
  • Sandals;
  • Birkenstocks;
  • slip-ons;
  • Special slippers for walking on corals.

By the way, birkenstocks have proven themselves well for walking around the city, along with moccasins or topsiders. If you plan to attend events with a formal setting on vacation, then be sure to add classic-style summer shoes to your luggage.

Accessories

No stylish look is complete without the finishing touches. And the beach ensemble is no exception. The traditional attributes of such bows are:

  • Swimming trunks;
  • Headdress;
  • Sunglasses;
  • Bag.

To date, there are many styles of swimming trunks, from short to the likeness of shorts of medium length. You can describe the advantages or disadvantages of each of them for a long time. But the choice is still any man makes his own. Why? The choice of swimming trunks depends on a number of factors, in the first place among which is the individual structure of the male body. So be sure to try it on before buying. Only those models in which you are as comfortable as possible are worthy of approval. An important role here is also played by the presence of ties instead of buttons or zippers. It is worth paying attention to the presence of a special mesh inside the swimming trunks, which will not allow wet fabric to stick to the body when you leave the water. And don't forget a spare pair of this essential beach wardrobe item. The ideal option here would be a duet of dark and light-colored swimming trunks. The first of them is optimal at the beginning of a spa holiday, while you have not yet had time to tan, while the second will effectively emphasize the bronze color of the skin acquired after prolonged exposure to the sun.


Swimming trunks, glasses, hat and glasses - the main part of the beach bow

Preferences for a particular headdress for each man are individual. Someone likes a straw hat or, others cannot imagine life without a cap. Only one thing is important - that they do not squeeze your head, but sit on it quite freely. The choice of color range is very wide: from a neutral palette of shades to bright and juicy colors. Printed hats are very effective, but they are more difficult to organically combine with clothes in a bow. You can read a little more about hats in our article.

Sunglasses should be selected according to the shape of a man's face (circle, oval, square, heart, rhombus). On this topic, we have already written in detail in the article. But the color of the lenses here plays a secondary role.

As for bags, there is no better option for going to the beach than a laconic tote model. Usually it is not very bulky, but it is able to accommodate all the things you need for sunbathing and swimming. Including accessories such as purse, smartphone, room key. Very popular with men and a backpack. It does not stretch your hands, it is very useful when on the way to the hotel you decide to make a couple of purchases at the local market or in nearby shops. Those who prefer a sporty style of clothing will like a capacious workout bag.

Finally

At the end of the article, we summarize briefly.

It is important to consider that the choice of top, bottom of a set of clothes, shoes directly depends on the place and event. Beachwear for men should also be in harmony with each other in color. Therefore, a catchy, printed top is best combined with a plain bottom. Swimming trunks are chosen according to their level of comfort and taking into account personal preferences. The same applies to other accessories for a beach look. There is nothing complicated here! Thanks to these simple secrets, you will not only pick up a stylish vacation wardrobe in advance, but also quickly pack your suitcase for the appointed time of departure.
