7 Cute Beach Day Outfits
If you’re looking for some cute beach day outfits, I’ve got you covered! There are so many fun but functional ways to look cute for your next trip to the beach- from breezy button ups to light cover ups to crocheted maxi skirts, there’s an outfit on this list for everyone!
Whether you’re heading to the beach or chilling by the pool, you want an outfit that’s comfortable enough to lounge in but still looks cute! A lot of the time I simply throw on a baggy t-shirt and some shorts and head out the door cause who cares? I’ll be in my bathing suit for most of it! But then the time comes around when you’re feeling hungry or thirsty and need to head to a cute little restaurant or cafe for a pick-me-up and I’m stuck in clothes I don’t feel cute in. Blah!
It’s so easy to find a cute beach day outfit that is functional and stylish! You can still throw on shorts and a t-shirt, but make it a cute graphic tee instead of some old baggy one you found in a drawer. Or try a crocheted maxi skirt for major beach vibes while still keeping it simple. Linen pants are another great way to stay cool while looking cool too! There are so many options to choose from!
This list contains 7 cute beach day outfits that I’ve created for a variety of styles. Check them out if you need some inspiration for your next day trip!
