Sarah CatheyBy Sarah CatheyJune 24, 2026

Summer is calling, fashionistas - and it says ditch the shapeless throw-on-and-go combos. Vacation season is when comfort and style should not be doing battle, when the two are supposed to hold hands and skip into the sunset. No matter if you are chasing tide pools, savoring some drink with an umbrella by the pool, or getting that golden-hour selfie at just the right moment, a good look will turn any beach day into a runway.

And the best part? Coastal dressing embraces every single silhouette. No rules here just feel amazing Now just imagine: sun kissed skin, salt-sprayed hair, sand between your toes and the kind of look that says you totally took it all in stride.

So we compiled 17 vacation-ready looks - flowy, breezy, comfy and proudly cute - for the girl who wants to dress as if all her vibes are seaside and she is the main character. Let's pack that suitcase.

Looking to dish out to the contemporary chic taste level from a meal from dawn to dusk? Pair an evergreen black Bardot off-the-shoulder top with high-waisted, A-line floral skater skirt. The combination of a deep navy or black skirt grounded with soft pink floral accents keeps this look absolutely chic.

Dress the look up with cat-eye shades, a frayed straw clutch, gold bangles stacked on your wrist and lace-up pointed heels or flats for an upscale resort restaurant.

Nothing beats a long, floaty maxi sundress and that's exactly why we've placed it at number one. Choose a light cotton or linen in one of the sunny prints — think watercolor florals, gingham, or a soft butter yellow — and let breezy on-trend gathering do your styling.

Wear flat leather sandals, carry a woven straw bag and layer delicate gold necklaces Throw on a pair of oversized shades and you're ready to stroll the boardwalk, go straight to lunch at the beach, switch from sandals for sneakers without breaking any steps.

The one-piece is having its moment, but really it never actually went away. A simple yet chic swimsuit with a sarong draped at the hip; classic, elegant and easy-peasy.

So, wear it matching with a coordinating print or opt for contrast - black swimsuit paired with bright tropical sarong is holiday chic. This look is all about the wide-brim hat and cat-eye sunnies. The kind of style that says old-Hollywood-by-the-sea.

Other than that the wrap dress is by far the best silhouette in town (sorry not sorry). It nips in where you want it to belt, and flows out everywhere else, which means it works for literally every body type. Whether in a lightweight chiffon or jersey, it's a vacation fantasy.

You are wearing a flirtier print, you knot that bow and let that neckline do its work. Dress it with strappy sandals for dinner or flat slides to wear during the day. With a pair of hoop earrings, you've got an outfit that can go from beach to bar without having to change once.
