We all know that great feeling - the sun's out, it's getting warmer, and you start craving that delicious feeling of tanner skin, sea salt on our body, swimming in the pool, sunbathing in your backyard...for many, it's simply the best time of the year. And that also means that it's time to get the beachwear out!
From bikinis to bathing suits, stunning cover-ups, and flowy skirts, heading out to the beach, pool, or backyard can be an actual fashion experience. It's no longer just about throwing a single piece on, but rather to play around with several things. If you've been looking for some inspiration on this front, worry not - we've got you covered!
10 Wrap It!
The first example you can draw inspiration from consists of a very simple bikini top - white, which looks great when the tan starts settling in - with an interesting twist.
How about elevating your two-piece look and wrapping a silky skirt around your waist? It's an effortless look, yet extremely elegant, especially if you go for a shimmery fabric. Take it to another level and wrap a similar piece around your head for an irresistible combo!
9 Flowy Skirts Are In
It's impossible to look at a picture like this and not want to immediately jump face-first into the ocean. But that's not the only gorgeous part about this image - can we talk about the beachwear look @fanny.neguesha is rocking?
Flowy skirts are the perfect piece to add to your beach or pool ensemble, whether it is a bikini or a one-piece. Bonus points if it has a double slit, so you can show off your legs and just feel like an overall goddess.
8 Make It Match
Who says the only thing that has to match is the top and the bottom of your bikini? There are endless combinations you can make (mix and matching is super fun) but you can also opt for a look that just matches from start to finish.
This wrap skirt is a perfect example of that. It's the exact same pattern as the bikini and ties everything together beautifully. You might want to skip the cowboy boots if you're heading out to the beach, though!
7 Black On Black On Black
Accessorizing isn't of limits in the real of beachwear! Granted, a purse might not be the most practical thing for this time of the year, but sunglasses and hats certainly are!
Protect your eyes and your skin while also looking stylish. In this look, @durranipopal choose to go all black, and that includes the shades and the cap. Safety first, always, and it's even better if you can do it with style.
6 Net It
Cover-ups are the perfect thing to throw on when you want to take a break from the sun and head out to the nearest coffee place to get some water, a cocktail, or some food.
And netted pieces have always been in. We're willing to bet they'll never go out of style, so go crazy with them! In this case, you can see the top was matched with the two-piece, but you can also find pants, shorts, and dresses in the same style.
5 A Risqué Cover Up
If you're in the mood for something a little more risuqé and sexy, a sheer dress like the one seen on this picture is the perfect choice for you.
With slits going all the way up on one side of the body, a piece like this is extremely unique and adapts to any body shape. Plus, the fact that it's sheer means you can still show off your beautiful bikini or bathing suit!
4 Lovely Crochet
Just like netted pieces, crochet pieces have been part of the beachwear game for a long time. And it doesn't seem like this style is going anywhere, which is easily understandable looking at an adorable two-piece like this.
Consisting of a matching skirt and top, this is the perfect way to go from a day at the beach to dinner at the local restaurant when the sun sets.
3 Neon Is Always A Good Idea
Neon colors are a must for summer since they look particularly good on darker complexions. Everything pops in the best way possible, be it in a two-piece or a full-on bathing suit.
And speaking of bathing suits, this particular style might be something to consider. It goes in a different direction than most one-pieces tend to, and it's guaranteed to make you instantly look like one of the most stylish and unique people at the beach!
2 Why Not Pompoms?
There was a time when bikinis were extremely plain and didn't differ much from each other aside from color. Thankfully, in the past decade or so, designers became increasingly more creative with the pieces they presented to the world.
This example uses pompoms and crochet to take an otherwise plain, black bikini to the next level. And see how gorgeous she looks!
1 The Prettiest Pastel Rainbow
And what about taking the concept of crochet and adapting it to your entire look? This ensemble matches the bikini with the pants in one of the most original beachwear outfits out there.
Plus, pastel colors are always a huge win. That sun-kissed skin of yours will simply glow if you opt for something like this.
