Beach attire can start to feel redundant when everyone is sporting this season’s must-have swimsuits. Even what you wear on top of your bikini can feel a little basic: jean shorts and a tee or a standard beach cover-up that you reuse over and over.

Meanwhile, accessorizing your beach looks can be half the fun. Who says you can’t wear an evening bag to the beach, or quirky, colorful jewelry to match your out-of-office vibe? Another big trend that can energize your beach attire is plastic hair clips in the form of seashells. And we're loving brightly-hued shades in geometric shapes instead of your standard black or brown pair.
So store those jean shorts and basic flip-flops in the back of your closet, you won’t be needing them this season. Below, we show you five different ways to style your beach look for your next warm-weather escape.
