Look 1
The secret to this beach look is that it feels effortlessly thrown together. Pair a classic triangle bikini with an oversized, mismatched shirt (top tip: I always shop men’s section for the best beach cover-ups), add a playful yet practical hat, and finish with the hero piece: La Veste’s retro towelling shorts for a touch of nostalgic charm.

The key to bringing some personality to your beach look lies in the accessories. Most of us have a pretty white top in our summer collection, which acts as the perfect throw-on over a bikini and as a base to host a heap of fun accessories – from a paisley print bandana to colour-pop Havaianas, to a stripey beach tote that will fit all the essentials.

Laid-back beach days call for looks that feel lived-in and bohemian, and this is it. Think retro stripes and bold beads, soft worn-in suede sandals and mismatched swimwear – the perfect look for a boat day, days that drift into impromptu beach BBQs, or, if you’re really boujee, a daytrip to Formentera.

Honestly, I’ve never met a Monikh look I didn’t like, especially her holiday ones. Her pared-back, minimalist aesthetic is perennially chic, but really comes into its own in summer. Case in point: this multi-print Dries pareo skirt with soft slub-style vest. Perfect over a swimsuit on the beach and the beach bar afterwards, but equally as good during a city heatwave.

Hanan Houachmi’s look is a masterclass in how to do modest dressing on the beach. Go for long loose layers in crisp white and add texture and playful touches like a cute pillbox hat and a huge raffia bag – not only does it fit everything in, but it will add a pop of glamour too. And lastly, a good do-it-all scarf. One whose purpose knows no bounds, from belt to hair covering, swimsuit cover-up to regular scarf when the sun goes down.

Lucy Williams always manages to create something unexpected in a look, while simultaneously making it feel effortless and undone. Case in point: a very pretty Dôen mini dress with beautiful ribbon and embroidered detail, but mixed with sporty pieces like a bucket hat and chunky OG Havaianas. The pop of aqua blue bikini underneath is just SO good.
