Emporio Sirenuse Dress, Call It By Your Name Bag, Janessa Leone Hat, Saint Laurent Sunglasses

The pieces I reached for most were the simplest—easy, refined, and able to move from beach to lunch without a second thought. A few standouts:

What I came back to was how much beach dressing relies on thoughtful layering:

• Lightweight coverups that double as full outfits
• Easy combinations like shorts with a bikini and a button-down
• Sarongs and pareos wrapped multiple ways—skirt, dress, or top—then worn straight into the rest of the day

It’s less about quantity and more about versatility, pieces that can shift with you throughout the day. I always bring an oversized white linen button-down (also love this green one!), a simple white tank, and a printed caftan.  Everything felt relaxed, but still put together, which is exactly how I want to dress at the beach.

Juliet Bikini, Alix of Bohemia Pants, Janessa Leone Hat, Saint Laurent Sunglasses

If you’re not already wearing balloon pants, you’re definitely seeing them everywhere. They’ve taken over this season—light, easy to throw on, and a nice switch from your usual linen trousers or satin pants. A little more interesting, but just as effortless.

The pair I recently bought and wore on my trip—the Alix of Bohemia Evangeline Ibis Chiffon Pant—completely sold me. The color is what first pulled me in, but it’s the soft peplum detail and the sheer, airy movement that made them feel really special. I styled them with this bodysuit (I’ll tag), since they’re slightly sheer, and it ended up being the perfect combination.

The versions I’m seeing (and loving) most right now:
– Lace and broderie styles (like Zimmermann or Posse) for texture
– Easy cotton pull-ons (Lisa Says Gah, Caroline Constas) for everyday
– Printed or silk versions (Alémais, Chloé) that feel very vacation-ready

Beach Day Littles is all about warmer days ahead, packing up for beach trips, and those easy family afternoons by the water. Whether we’re traveling or just heading out for a local beach day, these are the pieces I always reach for to make it feel fun, simple, and a little extra cute for my girls.

I love having a mix of practical and playful—colorful swimsuits, striped rash guards, sun hats, and little goggles for the water, plus the best sand toys, mesh beach bags, and even a disposable camera for capturing it all. There are also a few fun extras like inflatable toys and beach games that keep them entertained long after the swimsuits are on. It’s everything I want packed and ready for a full day in the sun.
