Must Have Coastal Outfit Ideas
Coastal Outfit Idea for a Shopping day
I’m all for saving the best for last, but this outfit is too good not to put at the top of the list. Navy and white stripes is as coastal as is gets, which is why this sweater is a must have. Plus, the collar really really gives it the preppy vibe that you don’t get with a crewneck cut.
The rest of the look can easily be complete with pieces that are probably already in your closet. But, if you are looking to freshen up your staple pieces, then look no further. These jean shorts are the only shorts you need for the spring and summer and will last you for seasons to come. And, you can never go wrong with staple accessories, especially these Quay sunglasses and gold hoops. Lastly, these white slides finish off this costal look perfectly. The price point is on the higher side which can be a turn off, but it’s worth the high quality and the versatility.
Coastal Outfit Idea for a Lunch Date
A coastal outfit idea perfect for lunch at your favorite spot! This outfit it the perfect mix of chic, casual and of course, coastal and beachy.
The collared blouse is key for this outfit. I love this one because it’s slightly cropped giving it a a little edge over a classic blue blouse. To keep the look polished, opt for a pair of denim shorts that are a bit longer without any distressing. The shoes are another element to the outfit that stand out. These wicker slides are so different from anything I’ve seen this season, but still compliment this coastal outfit perfectly. As always, add your everyday gold jewelry and you have a finished look.
Coastal Outfit Idea for a Coffee Date
Can you say coastal comfort? Probably my favorite vibe lol. It looks so effortless but still put together so you really do get the best of both worlds.
This rugby sweatshirt gives off major Ralph Lauren/J-Crew vibes, but it’s a fraction of the price. Plus, it comes in a few colors so you can justify getting more than one. And of course, denim shorts it is. You can always wear a pair you already own, but you can go wrong with this pair either. Finish the look with a matte white claw clip, small gold hoops and white sandals. Just like that you have an outfit that you just through together that still looks like it came out of a classic J-Crew catalog.
Coastal Outfit Idea for a Beach Day
What’s a coastal vibe without a swimsuit? This beach look is great weather you’re heading to the pool or the beach and fits the coastal vibe even if you never leave your own pool deck.
Starting off a a staple – a navy blue bikini. You can find one pretty much anywhere, put the cut and style of this one is my favorite. Next, this linen shirt dress makes for the ultimate coverup. Plus, you can wear it as a regular dress so can get more bang for your buck which is always a good thing. Finish off the look with a classic straw hat and a pair of white slides.
Coastal Outfit Idea Post Tennis Lesson
You can think coastal and not think of a cute tennis outfit, right?! Even if you’ve never picked up a tennis racquet, this outfit is perfect for running errands or talking a walk around the town.
Another collar, are you surprised? This collared sweatshirt really is a staple and pairs perfectly with this white tennis skirt. Keep the coastal theme going with this seersucker hat – a staple pattern for that east coast vibe. Adding a light blue belt bag like this one is the perfect way to be hands free while still having your essentials. Plus, the color is just too cute to pass up. Lastly, a white pair of sneakers like these keep the look practical.
Coastal Outfit Idea for the Airport
Okay, so this may not be the most coastal outfit, but the Harvard sweatshirt and Boston baseball hat keep the outfit on theme. Plus, it gives major Princess Diana vibes so who could complain?
A good pair of biker shorts is a must for this outfit. This pair is super affordable while still being amazing quality. For a more casual look like this airport look, a chic pair of sunnies really take the look up a notch. And last but not least, a trusty pair of white sneakers and a reliable duffle bag will be a gamechanger for your style and comfort as you navigate the airport to your New England destination.
