Beach Wear Should Look This Good

These versatile shorts were made to be worn comfortably all day long. A hybrid of a classic board short and chinos, they can take to the ocean and quick-dry before you get back to your hotel for a rest. They come in both 7.5” and 9” lengths.

A great pair of linen pants is an absolute must to beat the heat. These drawstring stretch linen pants can easily be dressed up with a button-down or dressed them down with a t-shirt and sandals.

Dads, now’s the time to dust off a loud shirt. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for goofy. This bright, fun terrycloth shirt doubles as a usable towel (really!). It’s also more stylish than that old ill-fitting Hawaiian shirt you have (sorry).

Speaking of Hawaiian shirts — if you do go there, go big. This bright yellow number with a bold peony print will probably be the nicest shirt you have in your closest. No harm there.

There are those summer occasions — date nights! — that call for a jacket. Skip an overly formal (and warm) blazer and grab this lightweight linen jacket. It adds a fashionable layer to any oceanside look.
