Glam but first coffeeAt the moment, when I smell summer approaching, I have already been dreaming about the beach. I am not the biggest fan of hotness but we cannot escape it. Therefore, I am rather on the beach than in my hot apartment when the hottest days of summer are here. What are the beach vacation fashion essentials that you can not live without?
I wanted to share with you my fashion essentials for a beach vacation and what are the TOP must-haves for me. You can have a different idea but I feel like these are basics and essentials of a stylish and cute beach moment! Let’s get into this because I have already some in my shopping basket and some I already got. I will share with you also where to buy the most affordable items in case you still do not have them!
Beach vacation essentials
Sunglasses
Sun for me seems too bright therefore I always have my sunglasses with me in the summer. If I forget to take my sunglasses when I go out, I feel like without the air. I do not like to have the sun in my eyes, it makes my wrinkles around my eyes deeper and who wants that? P.S. Sunglasses also let you avoid people easier, like annoying sellers on the beach. Therefore these Guess sunglasses are one of m
Sun hat
I finally ordered my sun straw hat for my vacation from Shein. I will link it down below that you can get yourself one too and we can twin! A hat is very important to protect our head, hair, and face from getting too hot and feeling dizzy. I have felt sick and dizzy due to too much sun and my head just getting hot as fire! I know, you might not be a hat person- I am not either. Therefore I have not had one for the last five years. Nowadays, there are so many colors and designs of hats. I assure you, you can find one for yourself. A few weeks ago I even wrote an article for the best hat guide for summer, you can read the article HERE.

Bikini
How can we go on a beach vacation without a bikini (or 10 bikinis)? I have always bought my bikinis in New Yorker. New Yorker is an affordable clothing store that is located in most of the European countries, some Asian and African countries. If you are not one of them, then I would suggest finding some online (like Shein has plenty of beautiful designs for amazing prices). I could now choose which order, in the end, I just closed my eyes and ordered two (I still have some 10 more in my wish-list of Shein). I am going to list down the bikinis that I love!

Beach vacation basics
T-shirts and tops
We need some cute T-shirts and tops. I would suggest you getting tank tops or sleeveless tops to not get ugly tanned lines. Another fashion tip is not to avoid black and white tops (white tops will get dirty fast and black is going to attract too much sun and hotness. However, they are both great options as basics for going out at night or having a walk around the beach. This summer tie-dye is a big deal, I also ordered from Shein that I could not avoid! 5 Euros each and they look so cute, Shein has even more tie-dye tops for you! The ones I ordered I am going to list down below as well! Tie-dye is definitely one of the beach vacation fashion essentials this summer.

Denim shorts
What is a good summer and summer vacation without denim shorts? Denim shorts are so flattering, easy to wear, and great for walks around the beach! I always prefer high wasted or middle waisted denim shorts. They are more flattering and more comfortable especially if you want to wear some cute crop top with them. For example, with the cute tie-dye tops that I listed above.
I have seen great reviews of denim shorts on Shein but have not tried myself. Asos is very popular for good quality denim clothes, pants, and shorts.

Dresses for beach vacation
In this one, it does not matter what kind of dress it is. All I know when I go on a beach vacation, it is usually a very pretty place with restaurants and cafeterias. That means I will want to go out and have some wine or dinner and show off one of my summer dresses. It also means I am going to take plenty of photos and then a beautiful girly dress is a must-have for me! What do you think?
Floral and flowy dresses
For the beautiful walk during the day, brunch in a local restaurant, and your photoshoots! A floral or flowy dress is a must! Ruffles and lace go great with summer.

White dress
A white dress probably is not a must but it looks very pretty with summer clutches and hats. I have also noticed that in the South, the houses are very pretty and covered with Fuschia flowers and white outfits look great on that background. As always, I have found a few dresses that are in my wish-list. Want to see and shop for them?

Evening dress
The evening dress is for that fancy restaurant you are going to go to. I feel like this beach vacation fashion essentials list will work great for honeymooners. My wardrobe misses a little black dress for summer. Therefore, I ordered one from Shein, especially that it was only 10 Eur. The dress will be linked down below but usually, I would go for a lighter color as it is summer!
Bags and shoes
Beach bag for all essentials
A big beach bag for your beach essentials. The tote where you out your towel, sunscreen and favorite magazine in. I have seen some very cute ones but I would not spend plenty of money on this one.
Basket bag
Have you seen the trend for the last few years of basket bags? I was very skeptical about it and mostly did not like it at all. But it changed when I saw my perfect, little basket bag that is in my Shein wish-list. I am not even sure if I want to share it with you all because I am dreaming of having it for myself! A joke obviously, as always going to link it down below. Lately, brands are coming out with prettier and lovelier basket bag designs and colors. Some of them are not basket material but only looks like it!

Normal handbag
If the basket bag that you got, pairs well with your daily outfits as well as your evening dress then you can avoid this point. But if the basket bag is too simple or too beach-like, then maybe you need to get something that goes with everything else, like your evening dress.
Sandals
During the summer and on the beach it is better to let your toes breathe. Therefore, get yourself a cute and comfortable sandal that will go with any look. I choose golden or beige sandals that have a little platform. Firstly, because those colors go well with any summer outfits. Secondly, a platform will give more support for your feet and not make it hurt.

Sneakers
In very hot weather I do not like to wear sneakers. Let’s be honest though, they are very comfortable in case you are going for a long walk around the city. When I visit new cities or places I walk loads, therefore I take my Converse sneakers with me always. Another pro is that sneakers can be paired with denim shorts, any tops, and summer dresses.
These are my beach vacation fashion essentials that I am going to pack with me this summer. I wish that I could have posted some photos of the clothing I ordered for my beach trip but unfortunately, they have not arrived! Most likely I am going to show them off in a future Shein haul on my Youtube. If you are interested in fashion hauls, subscribe to my Youtube channel HERE to not miss out!
Remember that each vacation can be different and these essentials may vary. Therefore inspire from my articles but if some of them seems very off for what you wear or will need in your beach vacation, then feel free to freestyle your vacation packing list.
