Going to the beach in style means choosing the right items to be both comfortable and elegant. A few purchases are then necessary. Swimsuit, shoes or accessories, what clothes should you choose for your afternoons by the water? Answers!
The swimsuit
Swimsuits are of course an essential piece of men's beachwear. For us, a preference for swim shorts that double as a daywear: they can be worn in the water but also as Bermuda shorts to stroll between seaside points of interest. Wide enough to be comfortable, they can also be very chic, hence the importance of choosing the right model. In particular, we can dare to choose colors and patterns that will be easier to wear in a summer and vacation context.
In addition to swim shorts, there are other alternatives. This is particularly the case with boardshorts, a men's beach garment that is longer than swim shorts and very popular with surfers. Swim boxers or swim briefs, which are closer to the body, are worn under classic shorts to go to the beach.
Whatever swimsuit or shorts you choose, you will wear them with a short-sleeved t-shirt or a shirt.
The shoes
Shoes are, for a man, a very important point of beach attire. We will prefer an open pair that is easy to put on and take off to walk in the sand with ease. If flip-flops are certainly the most practical shoes at the beach, they clearly lack chic. We will therefore favor sandals of good quality. If we are not comfortable with the idea of showing our toes on the way to the beach, a nice pair of espadrilles is a good alternative. The choice of shoes will therefore complete the beach outfit for men, between practicality and elegance.
Accessories: sunglasses, bag, hat
A beach outfit for men worthy of the name must be completed with different accessories. First of all, sunglasses, essential. Some will prefer a more classic model, easy to match with any outfit. Others will prefer more original models bringing a touch of eccentricity to the look. However, always opt for a model of good quality, to ensure good protection, and because a well-chosen pair of sunglasses can be the detail that makes the difference.
Style and protection are also found in the choice of a good hat. Depending on the accessory chosen, the look will be very different. The cap and the bob are solutions to consider for a rather casual style, while hats strictly speaking such as the straw hat or the panama will bring a touch of sophistication. The look of his beach outfit for men will therefore also depend on the headgear chosen.
Finally, the final choice of bag will come, very practical for storing towels, books, water bottles, smartphones, wallets or other sun creams. The tote bag is a safe bet, because it is large enough to fit children's things. You can choose it in cotton or linen. A simple cut and sober colors will ensure that you can wear it easily with all kinds of outfits!
