Summer Isn't Here Yet, But My Beach Wardrobe Is Ready and Waiting

It's the summer of vibrant bright colors, so take it from me that no beach wardrobe is complete without a bold, knit dress just like this one. Ribbed knit has been trending for the past year, so I'm excited to see the style is showing longevity in the form of summer-ready dresses.

This effortlessly breezy dress would make the perfect coverup. Style with a pair of on-trend puffy sandals and a knit cardigan for when the sun goes down.

Where better to embrace a high slit, or two, than the beach? I can't imagine what else I'd like to pull over my swimsuit after a long day in the sun.

Button-downs aren't exclusive to blazers and jeans. Wear your classic white button-down open over your bikini with a pair of loose joggers for a laidback-but-stylish look.

This tube-top dress takes me right back to the early '00s, which happens to be fashion's choice era of inspiration at the moment. Since I've also been seeing beaded jewelry on the arms of every fashion person I follow, I'd call this outfit a perfect 10.

Mixing prints has become one of my favorite styling choices, especially in the summer when there's an endless array of florals, patterns, and bright colors to choose from. After all, the beach is where you go to play around.

Tie-dye was the darling of 2020, and it doesn't look like it's going to rest just yet. What better way to utilize the style than in an oversize sweatshirt like this one?

As I mentioned earlier, bubblegum pink is one of the color trends of summer 2021. Take a riff on the trend with an eyecatching pattern in various shades of pink.
