If you’re looking to serve stylish & trendy looks at the beach, these beach outfits are way too cute to only wear once!
If you’re a lover of a good outfit, you know that Beach outfits are just extra opportunities to have full-on fashion moments.
Whether you’re chasing toddlers in the sand, sipping a mocktail poolside, or finally getting that girls’ trip to Tulum on the calendar, you deserve a look that feels chic and effortless (without actually being effortless because let’s be real—you thought about that outfit).
From chic coverups to statement swimsuits and dainty accessories that pull it all together, here are 10 beach outfits that’ll make you feel like a sun-kissed style icon with a dash of sand in your tote.
1. The Oversized Button-Down + High-Waisted Bikini
A classic for a reason. There’s something effortlessly chic about an oversized button-down thrown over a bold bikini.
It’s giving “I read fashion blogs and remember to reapply sunscreen.”
Go with a crisp white shirt or a poppy stripe, toss your hair in a claw clip, and you’re basically beach editorial.
Tip: Look for men’s linen shirts at thrift stores—cheaper and perfectly oversized.
2. Crochet Set Energy
Crochet is having a comeback, and honestly? We’re here for it.
A matching crochet skirt and crop top set layered over your bikini is the kind of outfit that makes you feel like you should be drinking coconut water in Tulum. It’s breathable, stylish, and just textured enough to feel intentional.
Keep the colors neutral for a boho look with a preview of the bikini, or go with brights if you’re feeling bold.
3. The Sarong Wrap + Sleek One-Piece
If you want a beach look that’s a little more refined, wrap a silky sarong around your waist and pair it with a structured one-piece.
Think of it like the beach version of a slip dress and blazer—minimal, clean, and surprisingly elevated. Add a pair of oversized sunnies and some gold jewelry and you’ve got instant “vacation content” energy.
Bonus: You can wear the sarong as a halter top, shawl, or head wrap. It’s the multitasker of your beach bag.
4. Linen Matching Set Over Your Swimsuit
A breezy linen button-down and shorts set is basically the MVP of beach outfits.
Throw it on over any swimsuit and you instantly look like you planned ahead. It works for morning coffee runs, beach walks, or heading straight to lunch.
And the best part? You don’t have to coordinate anything else. It’s a one-and-done look that always works.
Neutral sets are timeless, but don’t sleep on pastel or citrus tones—they pop in golden hour lighting.
5. Mesh Dress + Statement Bikini
This one’s for the girls who like a little edge. A sheer mesh dress layered over a bold or strappy bikini lets your suit shine through while giving the outfit an editorial twist.
It’s cool, it’s modern, and honestly—it’s fun. Pair it with platform sandals or chunky slides for a trendy look.
6. Ribbed Tank Dress with a Bikini Peek
This is one of those “accidentally put-together” looks. Take a fitted ribbed tank dress—think more neutral tones, midi length—and let your bikini straps peek out from underneath.
It’s giving beachy without being too beachy, and you can absolutely run errands or grab lunch in it without feeling underdressed.
Add your favorite sandals and a big beach tote, and you’re set. You probably already own everything to make this one happen.
7. Cutout One-Piece + Vintage Denim Shorts
A high-cut, cutout one-piece doubles as a bodysuit when you pair it with distressed denim shorts. It’s sporty, cool, and practical.
You can jump in the water, dry off, and be ready to walk around town without a full wardrobe change. Throw a baseball cap or oversized sunnies on top and you’ve nailed casual coastal chic.
This one works especially well for beach days with a lot of walking or kid-wrangling.
8. Sporty Rashguard + High-Waisted Swim Bottoms
Some days call for more coverage and sun protection—but that doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Pair a zip-up rashguard with contrasting high-waisted bottoms for a retro-sporty vibe.
It’s giving active mom, cool surfer girl, and practical fashion all at once.
Functional doesn’t have to mean boring. Look for color blocking or zipper details to elevate the look.
9. Kimono-Style Coverup + Minimal Accessories
A lightweight kimono in a bold print or a breezy neutral instantly upgrades any swimsuit. It’s the easiest way to feel “dressed” without actually doing anything.
Pair it with simple sandals and a low bun, and let the flowy fabric do the work. Add a layered necklace or waterproof jewelry for a little polish.
This one’s ideal for beach-to-brunch transitions or if you want to keep things covered but airy.
10. Strappy Bikini + Pop-of-Color Accessories
Sometimes the swimsuit is the outfit. Choose a strappy bikini in a bold color (think hot pink, cobalt blue, or neon green) and build around it.
Add a woven tote, trendy sunglasses, and statement sandals in fun textures or metallics. The key here is contrast: bold bikini + chill accessories or vice versa.
Don’t forget the SPF and a good lip tint. Even low-effort needs a finishing touch.
Wrapping It Up—But Make It About Beach Outfits
A good beach outfit makes you feel like yourself—but a little more relaxed, a little more playful, and way more stylish.
Whether you’re going full matching set or just layering with intention, these looks are all about comfort with a side of confidence.
Pick one that works for your kind of beach day—and don’t forget the snacks!
