Fashion On The Beach

By:


One would think that fashion on the beach is easy since people typically wear the least amount of clothing when bathing in the sun. Unfortunately this is not the case and a visit to the beach is full of pitfalls that can lead you down the path of inadvertent fashion mistakes.

Know your Body
Let's face it, not everyone should be wearing a Speedo. Even if you are entirely confident with your body it's best to dress modestly at the beach if you wish to remain fashionable, unless of course you have the right build to pull off this revealing piece of clothing.

Take a good look at yourself in a mirror and think about what you want to reveal and what you want to keep hidden.

Trunks
Knee length swim trunks are the standard go to piece of swimwear for all men. Speedos are for the 1% of individuals who have fantastic builds, and board shorts are for the young. If you're over 25 and not Speedo ready find a nice pair of colored knee length swim trunks. Since you are going to the beach the color doesnt exactly matter. Keep the design fun and make sure you like the print; beyond that the sky is the limit.

Shirts
Everyone should bring a shirt to the beach. Even if you plan swimming it is important to have a shirt ready and waiting for you on the sand should it turn cool or you dont wish to lounge around shirtless.
Light colored linen button up shirts are the best shirt to wear to the beach. Since they have buttons they can be worn either open or closed, and since they are constructed out of light linen you will maintain a casual light look that is ideal for beachwear. Leave the Hawaiian shirts at home.

Shoes
Open toe sandals and flip-flops are the ideal shoes to wear at the beach. Under no circumstances should you ever wear a shoe that requires socks. Even if you are used to dressing formally, understand that you are at a beach and socks are inappropriate.

On a Final Note
Although not a clothing or style accessory, one of the most important thins to wear when heading to the beach is sunscreen. Exposing our skin to excessive radiation will speed up aging process, cause wrinkles, and in the worst case even cancer. So do wear some sunscreen!

When choosing sun-screen make sure to choose a different style for your face than you wuold for your body. Best for teh face are the ones that do not plug your pores which would cause your skin to break out.
