Embrace the British summer with essential beachwear and accessories

There has been a long wait to enjoy summer to its fullest and with more countries now accessible and covid rules relaxing, holidays at home and abroad can be enjoyed fully.

The late summer sun will hopefully continue to shine, and September and October often deliver great holiday weather, both in the UK and further afield.

Safer in the knowledge that you will get to show off your summer wardrobe, why not splash out on a few key items to refresh your beach look?

Swanky swimwear

When it comes to swimwear there is no defining trend for 2021, but it has got to be a fair deal between function and fashion. Bikinis with strings so thin they are referred to as ‘floss’ have emerged as a trend for this year, but in reality most people will be looking for a little more security and comfort!

Whether you are a fan of two-piece bikinis or one-piece suits there is a fantastic choice of swimwear on the high street that takes its lead from the main trends of 2021 meaning the choice is yours. Nude palettes, bold oranges, ditsy florals, animal prints and timeless black will meet the needs of most holiday-makers who want to look and feel good. Checkout the selection at Marks and Spencer.

Voguish beach dresses

Do you enjoy a spot of lunch while out by the seafront, or a quick tipple on the way home? Stylish beach dresses allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds, sliding easily over your swimmers and pairing effortlessly with sandals for an easy chic look.

Shirt dresses, crocheted tops, t-shirt dresses and layer designs will all let you switch the beach for the bar in minutes. Head to Crew Clothing for beachwear.

Practical bermuda shorts

After falling out of favour for a time, Bermuda shorts have made a come back for men and women. It’s not all about wacky prints though, the restyled Bermuda shorts for 2021 are more about the cut – close fit chinos, high waisted mom-style denim shorts, tailored designs and even bold prints feature in the array of shorts that sit just above the knee. FatFace has a good selection.

Denim cut offs

A failsafe for the summer, denim cut offs look great, are practical and are yet again in fashion. Pair them with a bikini top, vest or t-shirt and you can’t go wrong.

Seasoned sun hats

Even in the UK, staying sun safe is important so don’t let your guard down just because it might be cloudy overhead. A good sunhat is a vital part of your summer kit both in terms of looking the part and protecting yourself from the sun.

This year’s fashions include wide brim hats in straw or crocheted, caps and a welcome return for the 90s bucket hat. Try New Look for the perfect style for you.

Bold beach bags

Wherever you are if you are heading to a beach you will need something to carry your essentials in. This year’s beach bags take inspiration from natural materials with long handled straw bags, raffia totes and canvas bags ticking all the right boxes.

Beach shoes

Chunky sandals are everywhere this year from bars to beaches, while more practical footwear such as Velcro-strapped sandals, flip flops and sliders are evergreen beach accessories.

Invest in a few basics to feel fresh for your return to the beach – and don’t forget a towel, cooler bag and picnic blanket to stay cosy on the sand.
