Winters can feel unbearably long, and a beach vacation can be just what’s needed to get you through those short days and cold nights. If you’re planning a holiday beach vacation this year, you won’t want to be without these crucial items — starting with swimwear:
Solid Color Bikini
Choose a favorite form-fitting solid color bikini, and you’ll be able to wear it all day long. Bandeau and halter style bikinis can be an ideal choice whether you’ll be snorkeling, diving, or taking long beach walks with your sweetheart. Consider the Half Moon by Raisins, the Berry Solids by Cole Co. or the Marilyn Halter Side Tie by Anne Cole for stylish solid color appeal.
A Sophisticated One-Piece Suit
For those days when you want to be a bit more demure, a chic one-piece is the way to go. Whether you pair it with a wrap or sarong or just enjoy the surf and warm air, having a one-piece on hand means you’re covered no matter what fashion scenario presents itself. Consider the Anne Cole Lingerie Mallot One Piece, the Wrapture One Piece by It Figures or a Color Blast Swim Dress for even more demure coverage.
Animal Print Bikini
You just never know when you’re going to want to get a bit wild, but when you’re ready to unleash your wild side, make sure you have the perfect swimwear to help let that more provocative side of yourself out to play. An Animal Attraction Bikini by Inmotion offers a classic tiger striped look. The Radio Fiji Swim Society suit stuns with snakeskin, or you can mix animal prints along with aqua tones in the Animal Kingdom bikini, also by Inmotion.
Not partial to animal prints? Any print can have the same stunning effect on a tropical beach. Consider the Desert Bloom or the Floral Fusion by the Island Soul brand. The string bikini is one of the hottest swimwear cuts, so you’ll be sure to sizzle on the beach with that style and take your vacation to new levels of hotness.
Beach Accessories
Now that you have all your suits, you’re going to need the perfect accessories to accent them. Be sure and pack a floppy beach hat, some cheap shades as well as your designer pair, flip flops, a sarong, beach coverup, a big, thirsty beach towel, sunscreen, and a large beach bag to carry it all in. Oh, and stay hydrated — bring a refillable water bottle along, too.
Casual Wear
While you’ll probably live in your swim suits as much as you can during your trip, you’ll need casual clothing as well for those outings into town or while exploring inland terrain. Be sure and pack cutoff denim shorts, tank tops, a T-shirt, walking sandals, a sundress, a maxi skirt and light jeans.
Evening Wear
For those nights out on the town, pack an evening dress, mini skirt, chic white shorts, a dressy black tank, short sleeved blouse, dressy sandals, a handbag, and a necklace or two.
The long winters can be tough to handle, but having a holiday vacation to look forward to can make those cold temperatures much easier to bear. When planning a holiday beach vacation, don’t forget to bring along these key items to help make your trip a memorable (and fashionable) experience.
