6 Ways to Upgrade Your Beach Style
Whether you're headed to the lake, our own Canadian coast or somewhere abroad (!!!), here's how to keep your beach style on point.
If you didn't spend your time indoors lifting kettlebells – don't fret –there's more to looking good at the beach than a beach bod. Upgrade your old swimshorts with well-cut trunks, protect your head with trendy bucket hats and cover up with soft terrycloth polos.
Trade in Your Shapeless Swim Trunks
A slick, shapely set of swim shorts is essential whether lake or poolside. Choose from a variety of smart swim styles like Psycho Bunny's bright and bold styles, tropical trim-cut styles by COMMAS or the contemporary designs of Denmark's forét—all meant to blend seamlessly with your dry-land wardrobe. Dive in!
Let It Slide
It wasn't too long ago that slides were not something one would wear outside the locker room. Today, a bevy of brilliant designers are lending their aestheitc insights to the style. The result? Terry cloth slides from Thom Browne, big-logo styles from Salvatore Ferragamo and all-white slides from Swims. With slides this good looking, we'll even give you permission to (gasp) pair them with socks in the autumn when the weather cools.
Pick Up A Bucket
Don’t look now but bucket hats are having a moment. Whether you’re on a canoe at the cottage or taking a stroll on the fairway, bucket hats from Polo Ralph Lauren, Paul & Shark and more are worth pulling on.
Towel On
While we wouldn't recommend it in place of a towel, with it's easy-going outlook, a terrycloth polo shirt is as ideal for the beach as it is for patio dinners or days on the golf course. Try 04651 Trip in a Bag and pair it with anything from swim shorts to cargos for a relaxed summer look.
Don't Forget Your Shades
Your summer look won't be complete without a new pair of designer shades. Protect your eyes and add some extra heat to your outfit with wayfarers from Gucci, aviators from TOM FORD and many more.
Put It All in a Handsome Tote
A laidback season calls and easy-going bag. Whether you’re heading to the office or to the beach, stow away all of your summer essentials in one tidy place with a tote bag. Our favourite thing about a tote? They only look better as they age.
