What I Packed for the Beach

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:

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 caftanEverything felt relaxed, but still put together, which is exactly how I want to dress at the beach.

Everyone’s Talking About It: Here’s the Pant Silhouette That Actually Works

Juliet BikiniAlix of Bohemia PantsJanessa Leone HatSaint 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
