Beach Vacation Outfit Ideas

Hi, sweet friends! We are heading to the beach soon and I’m counting down. I’ve been playing around with outfit ideas and planning what I’ll wear, so I thought I’d share some beach vacation outfit ideas.

Save this post for your next beach vacation! A lot of these pieces are classics that you’ll wear for years to come.

Enjoy!

This ruched midi dress is a new find and it’s currently on sale! It’s perfect for a day at the beach over your swimsuit or on its own for a lunch on the patio. I have it in small.

This hoodie tunic cover up is from last year and it’s back in stock! You loved it last year – it was a best seller of the summer. I have it in XS.

My favorite classic one piece suit comes in long torso, which I love. It’s currently 30% off with code SHOP30.

I just love a chambray shirt, and just added this one to the rotation. I love the darker wash and it’s currently 30% off with code SHOP30. I have it in small.

My utility shorts are back in stock this year! I love these things and wear them A LOT in the spring and summer. They’re not too short, not too long, not too high and not too low. Goldilocks, I tell you.

My all time favorite piece of clothing is a beachy sweater. That’s not its official term, but you know the one. This one is old J.Crew, but I linked one I have my eye on below…

OK, please excuse the wrinkles in my swimsuit. I blame the arctic Chicago weather.

I ordered this one shoulder swimsuit last summer and LOVE it so much.

This cover up was another best seller last summer! It’s so chic and you’ll want to wear it beyond the beach, too. I’ve linked it in a few places because it tends to sell out. It runs big, so I would size down.

Don’t overlook wearing your bathing suit as your #ootd on vacation! I love this one piece with my new high rise white cut offs. They run big, I sized down.

I have this Free People tank in 4 colors and wear it ALL the time, even in the winter underneath my cardigans. It’s on sale for $12! I have it in small.

How cute is this floral maxi skirt? It’s currently on sale for $30. I have it in small.

If you love a two piece, but want more coverage, this is a great option. The bottoms are very high rise, and the top is more like a cropped tank. I have both in small.

I love this classic look and will be wearing all of these pieces for years to come.

This skirt cover up is so fun to wear and it’s back this year!
