A beach look that’s perfect for a beach date needs to easily transition from bikini to full-on outfit. In this example, I wore a two-piece bikini and layered over chino shorts and a denim jacket.

I like bikinis because you can mix and match. You don’t always have to match, either. Wearing a mismatched bikini works well if you make sure the two pieces look like they unintentionally belong together. Different patterns work if they have coordinated colors and similar materials.
Beach clothes and style are not just restricted to bikinis and rompers. Of course, it depends on what you’re doing at the beach. If you’re tanning and taking a dip, of course you need a swimsuit, but if you’re traveling and exploring you can wear a dress, skirt, or other cute beach clothes.
It’s said that the most exciting time when traveling is the time spent planning leading up to the trip. I see some truth in that. I love planning our days, researching restaurants and new places to explore.
This January we headed to Miami for the first time and the first thing I thought about packing was stylish beach attire. Peter and I don’t usually travel to “paradise” style destinations, so I don’t have an abundance of beach attire to pack for these trips.
El Matador Beach is located off the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1) near Malibu, California. This cliffside beach is filled with caves and massive rocks sprinkled along the beach.
