Packing for a beachside vacation can be a challenge. Whether you’re planning to lounge on the shores of St. Barts or explore the eclectic island streets, you’re sure to need some versatile and comfortable options. But not to worry — we’ve got your style needs covered thanks to this fashion guide.

New Swimsuit Trends And Summer 2018 Best Styles

Strut your stuff at the pool or the seashore in a sweet and sassy swimsuit. Whether it is a statement-making bikini or a sophisticated one-piece, never forget to follow the latest trends. This summer will be defined with sporty and minimal swimwear as seen on Isabel Marant. Look for styles in blues and greens which show a little bit of flesh. The other 2018 swimwear trend worth watching is a bold tropical print as seen on Kenzo. Another trend is a popular palm print in extra-bright colouring. Looks like this summer is going to be far from boring.

Chic and Comfortable Metallic Flat Sandals

Time to shed your tights, socks, and boots in favour of breezy summer sandals. Heels are fine but for a relaxed feel, hang them up on vacation and slip on a pair of fine metallic flat sandals. Sizzling metallic ranges from classic gold and silver to sweet pastels. It is an easy way to give the warm-season looks a touch of Grecian glamour. For the evening, pair them with a draped dress and golden jewellery for the right amout of style. Metallic sandals are also a good choice when you want to have fun at the beach party.

Pull Off the Micro Sunglasses Like a Celebrity

The 90s-inspired micro sunglasses are the biggest optical revelation of summer 2018. Celebrities including Kylie Jenner, Rihanna and Hadid sisters have been sporting the trend with styles from Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu. Wear them if you want to prove you are the IT girl of the vacay. The tiny little glasses are fashionable but they do not provide much protection from the sun. If you want to cover your eyes, stick to the oversized sunglasses in a cat eye, rectangular or rounded shape.

Trendy Beach Bags to Get You Holiday Ready

A trip to the beach means hauling everything from your towel, a snack, something to read, a sunscreen, just to name a few. It is easy in summer to fly above the style mark with a delicious and roomy bag. Worn on the shoulder, we love the versatile beach bags for their roomy interior. Look for styles which not only will keep your trinklets close but is trendy in the same time. The hottest styles for summer 2018 are made of raffia, crochet and plastic (and they are crystal clear).

Cute Sun Hats for the Beach

Make a statement in the must-have hat of the season. Whether it is a day at the races or lounging on the beach, channel your inner Jennifer Lopez with a 70s-inspired floppy hat with an oversized brim. Another trendy way to protect your head from the sunlight and to look classically cool is fedora. It is a perfect addition to the off-duty looks on the beach and summer escapades.
