Beach Day Bliss
Alright, you've got your sunscreen, water, and towels, but the most crucial question remains: what to wear? Let's start with the shorts, of course. For a day filled with sun-soaked relaxation, opt for lightweight and airy shorts that offer both comfort and style—think cotton and linen.
Try gently used shorts from H&M and Gap to help you achieve this look.
As for the top, let your swimsuit steal the spotlight. Whether you're rocking a simple bikini top or a sleek one-piece, slipping on a pair of shorts not only adds a layer of comfort but also ensures a quick outfit change when it's time for a refreshing dip. To put the finishing touches on your laid-back beach look, don't forget to accessorize with some chic sunglasses and your favorite pair of flip-flops or sandals for an effortless transition from the beach to the boardwalk.
