One of the best things about summer is getting to spend the entire day at the beach.

Building sand castles, frolicking among the waves, or just sitting back and watching the sunset; the beach is a great place to unwind, either by yourselves or with your friends.

Putting together fashion styles for the beach is also super fun. You can get into ‘holiday mode’ and make a statement with bright colors and patterns. A great way to jazz up your beach look is by adding prints. Whether you want to go down the maxi dress route, or prefer the good old t-shirt and shorts combo, here’s the lowdown on how you can boost your outfit with prints:

Opt For Bright Colored Beach Dresses

The bright rays of the sun bouncing off the shining sand, and the ocean with its vivid shades of blue, you want your trendy clothes to fit perfectly into this cheery setting. Leave the black dress at home (who wears a black dress to the beach, anyway?) and opt for some light tones. White makes the perfect backdrop for those beachy fashion styles. Add in swatches of other vibrant hues and you’ve got a beach-ready look for your fashion diary.

 Go With Floral Dress

Add a fresh vibe to your ensemble and get in the beach mood with some bright florals. Year after year, florals play a huge role in spring trends, making this one print you can’t go wrong with. Pick out a trendy off-shoulder top with a floral print all over, or a voluminous dress adorned with delicate floral designs. You can also choose to wear a fun pair of floral printed shorts or a floral print swimsuit and set some hot fashion trends.

Pick Out Some Striped Fashion Clothes

When you picture the beach, you think of brightly striped lounge chairs and towels along with striped umbrellas dotting the landscape. Fit into the scene perfectly by wearing trendy clothes with stripes all over them. Choose wide, bold stripes for a look that’s really out-there. If you’d rather take the sophisticated route, you can wear a white t-shirt with slender navy stripes for a fashion trend that’s straight out of the French Riviera.

Show Off Bright Tropical Prints

Bright tropical prints featuring motifs like leaves, fruits and cute animals are the one of the hot summer fashion trends. However, it can be quite tricky if you want to incorporate these designs all over your everyday outfit. The perfect solution? Wear them to the beach! Get into the holiday mood with bright tropical prints in vibrant shades. A leaf printed maxi dress or oversized shirt dress with pineapple motifs is sure to make people sit up and say, “What’s she wearing?”

Have Some Fun With Aquatic Prints

You’re going to be so close to the sea, why not take some inspiration from it? Set a beach-ready fashion trend by wearing a comfortable t-shirt or dress featuring adorable fish and dolphin prints. Perfect for adding quirkiness to your trendy clothes, aquatic prints are a great choice for the beach. You can also go down the sophisticated route by opting for naval prints, like the ever-popular anchor. Picture courtesy - pinterest.com
