Mykonos, Ibiza or somewhere in the Caribbean? Wherever in the world, seaside destinations call for a colorful fun wardrobe that performs well in sunshine. We recommend amazing separates and dresses to wear to a seaside restaurant or beach bar for lunch, dinner, or sunset cocktails. Spaghetti straps, off-the-shoulder silhouettes, crochet stunners, and cheery prints are part of the scene. You can layer underneath your bikini or single-piece swimwear for pool-time entertainment. Go with the flirty side of things and dance to the dj tunes!
Easy Dresses
Your looks need to be practical and stunning. A little girly detail or a spirited motif will get lots of attention by people sunbathing on the beach. If you are inspired by the nautical culture, try this gorgeous Tory Burch V-Neck Tie Detail Pier Dress.

Minimalists will also adore the charming nature of this nonchalant Theory Nayline Elevate Crepe Halter Dress.
Statement Tops
They might be caftans or cropped tops or just off-the-shoulder blouses. Try them on in light fabrics and bold motifs. Mix them with shorts, bermudas, or sarongs. Our first favorite is the Marissa Webb Leona Off-the-Shoulder Printed Top for effortless chic looks. Make a bohemian twist with this ultra-hot Zadig & Voltaire Time Lace-Up Ruffled Jac Top. On the deck of a yacht for evening drinks you can also wear this dreamy Zadig & Voltaire Cami Lace Camisole.
