Beachwear trends for 2016: Popular styles allow safe fun under the sun

Selina Hilts

Every season comes with new trends in the fashion world. With summer on the way and trips to the beach around the corner, there are some must-haves for Summer 2016. Here are some great items that are beach ready and super stylish.

Sandals

Prepare for this summer season with a bohemian inspired style — it is coming back with an array of patterns and fun mixtures of colors. This trend inspiration can be seen in footwear, purses and jewelry.

Wearing a cute pair of sandals with a trendy one-piece or a cute cover-up over a two-piece can spruce up your beachwear. Tie up gladiator sandals are definitely making a comeback this summer with a boho twist. They can be found with pearls, pom-poms and colored tassels, which add a pop of color to any outfit.

Maxi dress

With all of the beautiful patterns and vibrant colors of the summer, a maxi dress featuring these inspirations can be an essential piece of any summer wardrobe. They are versatile and can be used as a quick cover-up or simply for a walk on the beach. Maxi dresses are comfortable and easy to throw on in the morning of a hot summer day.

Wide-brimmed straw hat

Summer days are mostly spent outside, and one way to protect your face from the sun’s rays, but stay stylish, is wearing a wide-brimmed hat. The hats come in different sizes and colors and can be purchased at a variety of stores, making them perfect for anyone. The oversized hat can be the focal point of an outfit by keeping the clothes simple so they don’t clash with the eye-catching hat.

Beach tote

Every woman needs a tote that holds everything needed for a day trip, including snacks, water, sunscreen and a good book. A day at the beach requires numerous essentials such as water or sunglasses to enjoy the sun, sand and ocean.

Any type of tote can be purchased for any preference. Hammacher Schlemmer created a tote that instantly filters sand through the tote. Should some sand creep into the tote, which it inevitably will, emptying the bag at the end of the day will be easier.

Summer is all about fun patterns and experimenting with new fashion trends. Don’t miss out on all the fun styles and incorporate them into walks along the ocean and nights around a campfire on the beach.
