Our Must-Haves for Summer
At Simply Beach, we're proud to present our esteemed collection of bikinis, as well as our beachwear collection for your summer day.
Amongst our collection, our stand out pieces are the Collective Halter Bandeau Bikini Top and Pant from Seafolly, as well as the Amnesia Kaftan from Seafolly as well.
Both pieces embody style and function, ensuring that you stay cool and fashionable this summer, whether you're lounging by the pool or attending a summer soiree!
Beach Trousers
Beach trousers are a versatile addition to any summer wardrobe. Lightweight and breezy, they are perfect for a day at the beach or a casual stroll along the boardwalk.
Opt for natural fabrics like linen or cotton to stay cool and comfortable. Our top choice for beach trousers is the Sunset Beach Pant from Sea Level.
These loose-fitting cotton gauze beach trousers in white feature an elasticated waist with a tie and side pockets, providing both style and practicality.
Pairing them with a simple tank or crop top creates a chic, effortless look. This combination is perfect for achieving a relaxed yet fashionable summer outfit.
One Piece Swimsuits
One piece swimsuits have made a major comeback and are now a summer staple. From our experience, they offer both style and support, making them ideal for all body types. Choose bold colours or fun patterns to make a statement by the pool or on the sand.
This is why we recommend the Summer Dive Underwired V Neck Swimsuit by Lidea and the Reverie Halter Swimsuit by Maryan Mehlhorn.
The Summer Dive features an underwired V-neck design that provides excellent support and a flattering silhouette, while the Reverie Halter offers a stylish look with its dreamy pastel colours.
We know that a well-fitted one piece can also double as a bodysuit, perfect for transitioning from beach to brunch.
Whether you're lounging by the pool or enjoying a seaside lunch, these swimsuits ensure you look chic and feel comfortable all day long.

White Dresses
A white dress is the epitome of summer elegance. Whether it's a flowing maxi or a cute sundress, white dresses are perfect for any occasion. The Emiliana Maxi Dress from Pia Rossini is a beautiful white embroidered dress with an appliqué flower bodice, inner lining, and narrow adjustable straps.
This sophisticated white dress, paired with delicate accessories, can be an excellent choice for summer events, ensuring you look both stylish and appropriate for the occasion.

Neutrals
Neutral tones are a timeless summer favourite. Beige, ivory, and soft browns can be effortlessly mixed and matched to create a versatile and elegant wardrobe.
The Minimal Midi dress from Greek Archaic Kori offers understated elegance in a rich, opaque grey linen with a midi-length silhouette. A gathered round neckline leading to pleats over the bust creates a flattering drape.
Additionally, the Heatwave Bandeau dress from Sea Level is a lovely white style with a full skirt and an elasticated shirred bandeau bodice offering an easy and comfortable fit.
As beach fashion experts, we know that neutrals create a sophisticated and clean look, especially when layered with light jackets or cardigans for cooler evenings.
These pieces are perfect for any summer occasion, from casual daytime outings to elegant evening events.
Colourful Maxi Dresses
Maxi dresses are a summer must-have. Their long, flowing silhouette is both comfortable and flattering. Choose bright colours or bold prints to stand out.
One such piece is the Rainbow Ruffle Tiered Dress from Pitusa. This head-turner features a beautiful tiered tiered length of pastel coloured ruffles, with Pitusa's classic Inca weave straps.
Our findings show that a colourful maxi dress can easily transition from day to night, making it a versatile piece for your summer wardrobe.
Whether you are enjoying a casual day out or attending an evening event, the Shirley Maxi Dress offers both comfort and style, ensuring you look chic and feel confident in any setting.

Beach Hats & Visors
Protecting yourself from the sun is crucial, and what better way to do so than with a stylish hat or visor? Wide-brimmed hats offer great coverage and add a touch of glamour to any outfit.
The Tulum Hat from Pia Rossini is a bright pink style with a wide brim and chain detailing around the crown, perfect for making a bold statement while staying protected from the sun.
Additionally, the Cohen visor, also from Pia Rossini is an excellent choice for shielding your eyes from the sun. This visor, in the colour “natural,” features a gold band at the crown and brim edge, combining functionality with a chic design.
These accessories not only provide necessary protection but also enhance your summer look with elegance and style.
