What to wear on a beach holiday
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.
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.
