Do you forfeit slipping that cheeky number in your suitcase, perfect for a sundowner at the bar, in favour of extra shorts and tees? Regardless of whether you are planning on a staycation or travelling far to hit the sandy shores this summer, the fashionistas at Lu-May Exclusive Wear will share some tips on how to style beachwear 2025 trends.
How to Style Beachwear 2025 Trends for Your Most Fashionable Summer Ever
How to style beachwear 2025 trends will have you leaning into bright, happy colours that suit the sunshine, or embracing crisp whites and pastels that make your tan pop. Fun prints are welcome too. And of course, complete your look with the right accessories: a wide-brimmed straw hat, good sunglasses and Lu-May’s Ballito Woven Handbag Olive to carry all your essentials.
Can a Dress Be Both Beach Basic and Comfy Café Wear?
Dresses are the most versatile wardrobe staples to pack in for any holiday. Maxi and midi dresses are multi-seasonal and a fashion trend that seems to never die out. Try playing with patterns and layers. V-necklines with tiered skirts add a soft charm and can subtly draw attention to the features you love, like our Tess Textured Collared V Neck Midi Dress. Delicate necklines can beautifully highlight your decolletage, while a cinched waistline can enhance your curves. The relaxed, gentle fit of these dresses flatters your shape in a subtle, natural way while keeping you comfortable.
If you can’t resist having the waves touch your calves but don’t want to walk around in shorts or just your costume, a short dress might just be the answer. Falling just above the knee, Lu-May’s Jamaica Floral Lace Trim Tie Back Bell Sleeve Short Dress is ideal for the beach, giving you the freedom to wander along the shoreline and dip your feet in the water without worrying about your clothes getting wet. Our dresses are perfect for the beach and for meeting up with friends at a café.
Are Jumpsuits or Rompers Suitable for the Beach?
Where some women are comfortable enough to wrap a sarong around themselves, we understand that you may prefer an outfit that offers more cover, especially if you are not planning on swimming. Our Arizona Knit Open Back Cap Sleeve Blue Romper is the perfect, casual yet comfy outfit for walking along the shore or braving the dunes. This all-in-one outfit lets you move freely while still keeping your look effortlessly stylish.
What Type of Swimsuit is Best?
The style of swimsuit you choose should complement your figure and your holiday activities. If you are planning to spend a lot of time diving into the waves or trying your hand at boogie boarding, you can’t go wrong with the classic one-piece. Overlays, cross-over necklines, and strategically placed cut-outs add a touch of elegance.
