Confused about what to pack for your weekend beach trip? Don’t worry—we’ve curated four looks to help you decide what to bring.
With the city getting unbearably hot, heading to the beach might be the most sensible choice. Swapping the sight of towering buildings and the noise of traffic for the seaside horizon and crashing waves makes perfect sense. Plus, this weather is ideal for basking in the sun, getting that perfect tan—and maybe, snaping a few pics for the ‘Gram.

A beach weekend is arguably one of the easiest trips to pack for. Swimwear, lightweight clothing, and flowy dresses are the usual go-tos for putting together a beach-ready outfit. We’re not here to change the staples; instead, Lifestyle Asia has curated four looks to keep you chic from day to night on your beach getaway.
Fresh And Femme In The Morning
Starting the morning right with a breathable yet chic outfit sets the tone for the day. Typically, you arrive at your destination the night before or in the morning, and in either case, looking fresh for breakfast or check-in will instantly brighten your day.

A lightweight, flowy dress exudes freshness and femininity. Pair it with simple yet elegant slides and a dainty necklace, and your breezy morning outfit is nearly complete. To top it off, a summer-themed bag for your essentials adds the perfect finishing touch.
A Sizzling Hot Beach Afternoon
Once the sun is high, it means one thing: beach time. Flaunting your hard-earned summer body while sunbathing for that perfect tan is a win-win. Plus, it’s also the perfect moment to take cute pictures for your monthly photo dump.

Wearing swimwear at the beach is a must—and opting for a cute two-piece wouldn’t hurt. Plus, an oversized button-down shirt as a cover-up pairs perfectly with your swimwear. Flip-flops are the most sensible choice for the beach; sometimes, fashion is also about practicality. To complete your look, accessories like a carry-all bag and a sun hat will tie everything together.
Chic And Cozy For Dinner
Ending the day with a scrumptious dinner is the perfect way to unwind after hours in the sun. Dinner is usually served in the resort’s dining hall or restaurant, so looking comfortable yet chic is the way to go.

A cozy yet polished dress, sensible shoes, and a matching bag make the perfect dinner ensemble. Looking chic while staying comfortable is essential—you never know what the night may bring, perhaps a few rounds of drinks?
Staying Fab The Day After
After a relaxing weekend, it’s time to return to reality. Your short-lived tropical escape is coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean you can’t serve a look. Opt for a comfortable yet fabulous ensemble as you check out, ending your trip on a high note.

A breathable outfit is ideal for staying comfortable on your ride home. Of course, no outfit is complete without a mini bag—just enough to fit your phone, a few cards, and some makeup. To add a touch of personality, opt for open-toe sandals.
