Beach Fashion Trends 101:

Summer is my favorite time of the year because it means I get to wear cute fashion trends, wear new bathing suits, hangout poolside with friends, and of course my favorite part is the stylish beach days! Since I live in LA, I wanted to share with you some styling tips for the DOs and DONTS on the beach.

The DO'S:

Beach days are my favorite kind of days during the summer. The beach is where you get to showcase that body you've been working so hard on and also your beach outfits you've been so excited to wear all year. Well it's finally here, and there definitely are some fashion trends that are do's and don'ts for the beach.

DO: Wear a hat to the beach

DO: Re apply sunscreen every hour

DO: Be comfortable in your bathing suit

DO: Have fun and look stylish

The DON'TS: 

Don't: Wear too much makeup, its just not chic

Don't: Wear heels to the beach

Don't: Wear a bathing suit that's either too big or too small for you, in other words find one that fits just right

My number one advice is to plan your outfits for the beach, and always be confident when wearing them!

Confidence is Everything:

I like to plan everything because I hate going to the beach and wishing I had brought a cover-up or an outfit to change in after. My advice is to always plan ahead and bring an extra outfit in case it gets cold around sunset. I always bring a cover-up to the beach, and a sweater for that 5 o' clock breeze. There have been too many times that I have forgotten to bring a sweater to the beach and had regrets after.

My best advice is to feel confident with your body, and never compare yourself to others, especially at the beach where everyone is wearing bathing suits. Love your body, and style your outfits to where you feel comfortable wearing it out and don't have to think twice about it. There are so many beach fashion trends, you just have to find the right one for you! Confidence is the most important outfit, without this essential part, your outfit is not complete.

Here are some pictures of me headed to the beach. We did a pre beach photo shoot to show you some of the fashion trends and how you can mix and match your bathing suits. I bought the purple top separate from the bottoms. I like mixing it up a bit with my colors, I think its different from everyone else because you get to add your own style to the bathing suit with the different color schemes.
