What to wear on a beach holiday

Dressing for a beach holiday means covering three different moments with the same suitcase: the beach, lunch out, and drinks or dinner. The pieces that work in all three contexts are few but specific. Leaving with the right wardrobe prevents you from bringing half your closet only to use a quarter of it.

What to pack for a beach holiday?

The functional basis for a week: 2 swimsuits, 3-4 lightweight cotton t-shirts, 2 shorts or lightweight trousers, 1 dress or sarong for the evening, 1 pair of closed sandals for walking, and 1 pair of slides for the beach. Add a lightweight raincoat if you are going to areas with sudden summer rains.

What to wear after the beach for a stroll downtown?

A five-minute change
works with lightweight trousers or bermuda shorts over your swimsuit, a t-shirt, and sandals instead of beach flip-flops. A change that shifts your style from beachgoer to tourist in five minutes. Carry a spare t-shirt in your bag: salty and damp cotton is not comfortable off the beach.

The bare essentials

What shoes should you wear to the beach?

1 pair of flip-flops or beach slippers, 1 pair of sandals with sturdy soles for walking on uneven ground, 1 pair of lightweight trainers for hikes or days out in the city. Three pairs cover all situations without adding too much weight to your luggage.

Outfits for every moment of the day at the beach

Three moments, one suitcase

Morning on the beach, lunch out, an aperitif at sunset: three moments, three different looks, all with the same clothes in your suitcase.

What is the most versatile beach outfit for men?

Technical bermuda shorts that dry quickly, a lightweight cotton t-shirt, and Birkenstock sandals or Adidas slides cover the beach, lunch, and a stroll downtown. For the evening, replace the t-shirt with a short-sleeved shirt and the slides with a closed sandal: same bermuda shorts, completely different look.
On holiday, every item needs to work harder. Choose fabrics that dry quickly, colours that don't show sand, and shoes that work both in and out of the water.
On faraone.shop you can find everything for your summer suitcase: from Adidas slides to Birkenstock sandals, from t-shirts to Sprayground backpacks. Fast shipping, free size exchange, and 30-day returns.

Aperitif on the beach or at a beach club

What should you wear for an aperitif on the beach?

A light summer dress or shorts with an open-fronted shirt over a basic T-shirt. Flat leather sandals are a better choice than flip-flops. For women, a small cross-body bag such as the Marc Ellis Flat Jelly or the Flat Sunkiss is practical and well-suited to the setting.

How to pack a minimalist beach holiday wardrobe
