Every fashionista knows that the casual, laid-back atmosphere of the beach is no excuse to slack off in the style department. If anything, she takes it as a challenge to express her uniqueness even with limited clothing choices. For the newly inducted style ingénue, here is a list of must-have fashion accessories to grab at the mall before hitting the beach.
First, choose a pair of stylish slippers. Gone are the days when all slippers looked pretty much the same. Now, you can choose from a dizzying variety of styles and colours. Pick one that flatters your feet and matches your swimwear. If you want to go for all-out beach goddess, grab a pair of wedge heel sandals. They add height and make your legs look longer, but they provide enough balance to keep you from tripping while walking on sand.
Next, a bikini wrap or cover-up should also be part of your shopping list. The right cut can flatter and even hide those bumps and bulges you do not want the world to see. If you are the proud owner of toned arms and shoulders, go ahead and show them off in a strapless bikini cover-up. But if you are a little shy about your curves, invest in a sleeved cover-up dress with an empire waist. A V-shaped neckline can also elongate the face and draw attention away from the tummy area, putting the spotlight instead on your décolletage and chest.
Finally, just because it is the beach, it does not mean that you cannot accessorise with jewellery. There are several fantastic necklaces, earrings, and bracelets made of beads or plastic. They are cheap but they will definitely make you look chic while taking a dip in the ocean.
