Beach clubs have a dress code that sits somewhere
between beach casual and resort elegant — and
getting it right makes all the difference between
feeling effortlessly beautiful and feeling
completely out of place.
Here's everything you need to know about dressing
for a beach club.
What is beach club style?
Beach club style is the art of looking polished
and put-together in a setting that is inherently
relaxed. Think Nikki Beach in Miami, Nammos in
Mykonos, or any of the stunning beach clubs along
the Amalfi Coast — the aesthetic is glamorous but
never overdressed. Effortless but never underdressed.
The foundation — a stunning cover-up
The single most important piece for beach club
dressing is a beautiful cover-up. A lightweight
kimono in a bold tropical or leopard print worn
over your swimsuit is the quintessential beach
club look — it says you have been at the beach
all day and you look incredible doing it.
Choose a cover-up that flows beautifully when
you walk. The movement of a well-chosen kimono
or chiffon cardigan is one of the most effortlessly
glamorous things you can wear at a beach club.
The swimsuit underneath
Your swimsuit matters at a beach club because
you will likely be wearing it for hours — in
the water, on a sunbed, at the bar. Choose
something that fits perfectly and makes you
feel completely confident.
A bandeau bikini in classic white or black is
the most elegant beach club choice — no shoulder
straps, clean silhouette, effortlessly glamorous.
A high waist bikini in a bold print is a more
fashion-forward option that photographs beautifully.
The dress option
If you prefer to skip the swimsuit and cover-up
combination entirely a flowing sling dress or
halter jumpsuit is a perfect beach club outfit.
Choose a bold floral print or a classic solid
color in a lightweight fabric that moves
beautifully in the sea breeze.
A halter jumpsuit in a vibrant print is
particularly stunning at a beach club — one
piece, completely effortless, turns heads
from the moment you arrive.
The accessories
Beach club accessories should feel natural and
unforced. A wide brim straw hat is essential —
it provides sun protection while adding instant
elegance to any look. A handwoven rattan or
straw bag carries your essentials beautifully.
Simple gold jewelry and a shell anklet complete
the look without overwhelming it.
What not to wear to a beach club
Heavy makeup that melts in the heat. Uncomfortable
heels on a sandy or wooden deck. Overly formal
clothing that looks out of place against a
backdrop of turquoise water. At a beach club
the most stylish choice is always the most
effortless one.
The golden rule of beach club dressing
The women who always look the most beautiful
at beach clubs are not wearing the most expensive
clothes — they are wearing exactly what makes
them feel effortlessly confident. Choose pieces
that make you feel beautiful the moment you
put them on and let the setting do the rest.
