Tourist chic: Beach outfit guide
Romper it up
"Wear it with flats for day or evening (these are from Forever 21, shop a similar (and slightly nicer quality) pair here and here) or over a bathing suit. Either way, it’s a great option for vacation or South Florida!" - The Style Bungalow

Beach slip
"I love this drapey Band of Gypsies dress for its long, feminine cut and easy-to-wear print for casual and dressy date nights. The dress matches beautifully with bright gold and deep bronze accessories - a chic combination that belongs in the bold blue and white setting of the Mediterranean." - Honey and Silk

Tie it up
"I love a good printed pant for the pool or beach. These silky pants from Camilla were perfect for lunch and laying out by the pool last weekend in Montauk." - With Love From Kat

Floppy and fun
"The overalls are the perfect balance, and provide a little more coverage on land, while still showing off the fun back of my swimsuit." - The Hip Suburban

Bright beads and patterned shorts
"For a morning of bike riding and exploring I couldn’t not wear these cute printed shorts! They’re totally right up my alley and I knew exactly what I was going to wear with them as soon as I saw them!" - The Fabulous Life of a Natural Disaster

Black, white and sandy all over
"I love this floor-length black and white one because it’s versatile enough to romp around at the beach and then to get some skinny spicy margs at a nearby watering hole, especially with a little dose of bling on my feet!" - The Style Editrix

Stripes and sun
"While planning on what to pack for this trip, I knew this striped embroidered swing top would be perfect to wear on a hot summer day. It's look great with white shorts, denim shorts, and jeans." - Beautifully Seaside

Summer is one of the best times of the year. It's warm, bright and gives you plenty of time to take off on a jet set adventure anywhere in the world! One of those destinations just may happen to be a tropical island, warm pebble beach or a sleepy beach town just a train ride away. Either way, its' time to relax, unwind and make your way to some sand and sun.
However, we at the Lifestyle Collective think that just because you are relaxing and taking in as much vitamin D as you can, doesn't mean you can't look fabulous while doing it! Take a look at our tourist chic round up of some of the best ways to dress effortlessly chic for the beach.
