Promising reviews: "I love this dress! This dress is so easy to throw on and go. It's been a summer of extreme heat in Texas, and the material of this dress makes it bearable. So simple to throw on to run to the store or any errands. Much more comfortable than shorts. Plus, you'll look more put together." —ME"I love this cover-up, received a compliment within the first 20 mins of getting to the beach! It's super comfortable, cool, and I could dress it up if I had to. I have the white, which is pretty sheer. Will def get in other colors!" —S.C.

A flared drawstring skirt if you're trying to turn those beach strolls into your own sand‑runway opportunity. This is great for impromptu sunset cocktails or just living your best beachy life!
Promising reviews: "This is a great skirt! I wore it on my birthday to a steakhouse and then to dancing, just changing my boots between occasions. I got a ton of compliments, and I was super comfortable. I also love the versatility of this skirt. Mine is pulled up super high for my outfit, but the adjustable waist means you can wear it however you want!" —Mallory "I wear this as a swimsuit cover-up, and it is great for that. It's flowy, machine washable, and light. It sits high on the waist and looks great over a high-waisted bikini I bought. For the price, I think it's a great item to have in the summer to throw on and go when at the beach/pool/lake." —CristinaPrice: $28.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 17 colors)
A lightweight, eye-catching striped lounge set if you want to serve coastal granddaughter realness while you're engrossed in a juicy beach read and kickin' back.

Promising review: "Comfortable, good quality, and cute. This is a great lightweight dress that can be dressed down for a summer day at the beach or park, or dressed up for work. It is a soft woven fabric, not stretchy, and not see-through at all." —Justin Price: $34.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and 45 colors)
A sheer floral open-front cardi you're going to want to throw on with literally every outfit you have planned for your beach adventure, since it's the perfect pop of color without being too heavy.
Promising reviews: "This top is so versatile. I can wear it with jeans for a casual look, over a black dress, or even with black tights and a black top for work. Living in South Florida, I find that it is lightweight and goes with everything. Love it." —Solange Ritchie"This item is exactly as depicted. I love the print — the colors are as expected. This is such an easy thing to throw on over a tank on a hot summer day. The fabric is thin and airy, and I don't sweat in it. I'm going to be traveling in a few weeks, and I'm definitely taking this with me. It will take up almost no room in my suitcase but will be very useful for the beach or heading to dinner after a long day in the sun. Very pleased with this purchase." —LeePrice: $12.99+ (available in sizes S–5XL and in 44 of colors)
A ruffled, smocked bodice open-back maxi dress if you have a beach wedding on your calendar and you want to exude mermaid vibes (because of course you do).
Promising review: "This dress is beautiful!! I wore it for a beach wedding; it feels flowy and feminine. It seems to wear well on many different body types, so I purchased it. Thankfully, I did — would love another occasion to wear it again!" —summer evans steedPrice: $36.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 31 colors)
Some loose overalls with handy pockets, wide legs, and adjustable straps that are lightweight enough to wear at the beach but also provide enough coverage so you don't have to worry about your legs getting sunburned.
An easy breezy two-piece muslin shorts set because who has the time to coordinate a top and bottom when you're trying to get your butt out of the door and to the water ASAP?
Promising reviews: "This 'fit is for all around! Lightweight, color is fab, and it fits great. Perfect travel outfit — able to wear pieces separately. It may get wrinkly, but that's a quick fix, tumbling it in the dryer for a short time. Not transparent at all, fabric is soft, and it's an awesome value." —VA"Something I want to buy in every color! Quality is nice. Not extremely thick, but thin enough for summer. I ordered the pink and the color is *chefs kiss* not too bright but vibrant enough to look beautiful with a tan. I ended up wearing it on our family beach vacation to Florida in May, and it was perfect for the evenings." —KaylaPrice: $37.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 21 colors)
A magical Bardot blouse featuring a cute little bow in the back to remind everyone at the beach that you're a gift and they're lucky to be in your presence.
Promising reviews: "This top is so cute and surprisingly great quality. It's not see-through so I can go braless, and it's very comfortable. The tie in the back is a little too long, like too much material, but that's the only small thing, and I'll play around with it I'm sure." —Sammy"A great top to pair with a skirt for the beach! I loved the tie on this as I was able to tie the top as tight as I needed it. The material is also thick enough that you couldn't see through." —Riley SannePrice: $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 45 colors and patterns)
A UPF 50+ athletic shirt so you can go on beach runs without having to constantly reapply sunscreen that you keep sweating off. Some reviewers also use it as a swim shirt!
Ideal for outdoor activities, this lightweight athletic long-sleeve promises UPF 50+ sun protection (the highest for sun-protective clothing) and is made with a stay-cool fabric. The curved and slitted hemline add to the shirt's breathability, and the sleeves are designed with thumb holes. Promising reviews: "Workout clothes, to me, are so tricky. Maybe it's because I'm a trainer, but I'm very particular about fabrics, feels, and performance. This shirt however, is beautiful. The length, the scalloping on the bottom, color, and I've already washed it, and it all turned out great! I literally put it on, walked out into my living room, and my sister complimented me on it. I'll definitely be purchasing a couple more. It's comparable to Athleta's Uptempo long-sleeve shirt." —Crista Ramos"I purchased this shirt to wear over a swimsuit on a beach vacation, and ended up buying three more in different colors because I loved it so much. This sun shirt is very lightweight and breathable, and even in 80–90 degree heat, I didn't feel suffocated with long sleeves on. The design on the bottom is ideal for mobility and makes it a great workout top as well. It worked just fine, swimming in a pool and dried about as quickly as a normal swimsuit, if not slightly faster. The material is stretchy but so far durable." —Mango53Price: $23.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 26 colors)
An absolutely gorgeous wide leg jumpsuit — picture yourself by the waves in this lightweight cotton blend that floats in the ocean breeze. The adjustable spaghetti straps keep things breezy, while the wide-leg cut gives that barefoot-on-sand, carefree vibe. Yes, please!
Promising review: "I did order true to size, but could have ordered a size down. What I loved the most was that it didn't bind anywhere. I did adjust the shoulder straps to be shorter; however, they often slipped off my shoulders (one reason why I would size down if I purchased another color). The pockets are nice, but I wish they were a little longer/deeper so I could put my phone in my pocket vs. carrying a small purse. Pockets gave me someplace to put my hands while we were standing and making conversation. Overall, I think this has been my favorite online clothing purchase in the last five years. It is a great item for a night out to a casual dinner, lounging around the house, brunch with friends, or simply a quick beach cover-up." —StaceePrice: $24.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 36 colors)
And finally, a tiered maxi skirt with a stretchy pull-on waist for when you want to lounge in a beachside cabana and let all your worries just melt away (and serve fashion at the same time).
Promising reviews: "This skirt is flowy, comfortable, and so charming. The boho design is eye-catching without being over the top, and the elastic waist gives a perfect fit. I've paired it with tanks and crop tops for a relaxed, earthy look that's still cute and stylish." —J"I think it's my most favorite Amazon purchase ever! Well made, nice fabric, especially for hot and humid Deep South weather. I'm going to order more colors. I originally ordered the skirt to throw on at the beach, and I will do that, but I'm sure I'm going to live in this skirt paired with little crop tops when the heat of the summer arrives. Oh yeah…. and it's got perfect pockets." —CBS Price: $32.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 colors)
