Chic co-ords to take you from beach to bar

Meet your new vacation wardrobe staple: the beach suit. It’s not a regular suit, it’s a cool suit (to paraphrase Regina George’s mom). Call it a set, call it co-ords, call it whatever you want; there’s no denying that it’ll be your go-to look all summer long.

As we’re advocates for trying to buy less, a versatile two-piece guarantees maximum styling options – mix and match the separates; dress ’em up with different accessories – while taking up minimal space in your suitcase. Plus, who doesn’t love a matchy-matchy piece that’ll look just as good for an early morning stroll to the shore as it will for a sunset cocktail at the beach bar.
