There’s something about beach dressing that calls for ease and minimal effort — pieces you can throw on without thinking twice, but still feel pulled together.
On our recent trip, I packed a few new WHBM looks and ended up wearing them on repeat, like this linen button-down shirt (That doubles as a swim coverup). From morning coffee runs to evenings by the water, here’s a look at what I actually wore. The best part? These pack like a dream—and any wrinkles disappear with a quick pass of the steamer (Or Florida humidity).
Linen Button Down Shirt
TO THE BEACH
A linen button-down shirt (Size up for the oversized fit— I’m in a large) is my go-to swim coverup— easy, lightweight, and just undone enough to feel chic. I throw it over a suit with sandals and sunglasses, and it instantly pulls the look together without overthinking it. It’s the kind of piece that works just as well heading to the pool as it does grabbing lunch after.
Halter Sweater Dress | Modern Strappy Slides
DATE NIGHT
This halter sweater dress is the definition of vacation ready— easy to slip on, with just enough fringe to make it feel special. The texture gives it shape without feeling too structured. I wore it with these modern strappy slides for dinner and received so many compliments.
Linen Blend Strapless Maxi Dress
FAMILY PHOTOS
I wore this linen blend strapless maxi dress for our family beach photos and loved it. The built-in bra makes it vacation-friendly and easy to wear. It’s one of those rare pieces that can go either way— dressed down or elevated in seconds.
Linen Button Down Shirt | Everyday Linen Trouser | Gold Strappy Slides
MORNING COFFEE RUN
A linen button-down shirt and everyday linen trouser are the kind of outfit that I live in during the summer, especially on vacation. The lightweight fabric keeps things breezy, while the matching set gives it an intentional feel. I wore it with the sleeves rolled and my gold strappy slides for a laid-back look that still felt pulled together (I sized up in the top and it doubled as a coverup shirt).
Satin Floral Halter Maxi Dress | Modern Strappy Slides
FAMILY DINNER
I saved this satin floral halter maxi dress and modern strappy slides for our last night— dinner out with the family, the kind of evening that calls for something a little extra. This was probably my favorite look!
