6 Elegant Ways To Style Your Modest Beach Outfits

Meet me where the sky touches the sea...

Sand exfoliating your toes. The golden glow. Ice-cream dripping on the sizzling floors. Beach balls everywhere. Beach blankets and beach umbrellas. Mocktails in hand. Tan lines. The ocean glitters. The sky so blue. Your blushed. Seagulls eating hot chips. Seafood for lunch. Happy days.

A glimpse of summer. In a nutshell. While I sit here dreaming of the beach, I think about the outfit I want to wear when I go next. Or maybe about the outfit you need to wear? Fashion is at the forefront of my mind. But then many say that. It's funny, how even in fashion, we all have a different language? Some like the trends, some hate it, while others don't even care. They get dressed, for the sake of being clothed. The same way some people eat to live, while others like to expand their palettes. The little moments in life that make it that much more magical. What makes you happy. The most content.

It'll always be fashion.

The beach, as any other place on earth has it's value in outfit choice. You could be going to the parking lot, i'll still tell you what you should or shouldn't wear. It's just more fun. Life is more fun, when you get dressed for it.

Below I've styled 6 modest beach outfits you can indulge in for the summer.

You're absolutely welcome.

1. Modest Beach OUTFIT: maxi skirt

You’re going to the beach for a family BBQ but you may go for a swim later. You dress up nice, maxi skirt, matching lightweight long sleeve top and of course, your swimmers underneath. Incase you decide to cool off from the summer heat, or go for a little dip with your toddler, this outfit is what you need. Pair with a hat, sunnies and your hand fan to cool you down..

2. Modest Beach OUTFIT: dress cover up

You’re coming to swim. You have your picnic blanket out, beach umbrella and chair and you’re ready to sip on mocktails after taking a dip in the warm water. Your swimmers are already on beneath that gorgeous soft knit cover up dress. Size up for a looser fit and style with your favourite beach bag to fit in all your essentials.

3. Modest Beach OUTFIT: day dress

Swimming isn’t an option today. You don’t want to create new tan lines after working on it at home. You’re going simply for the breath of fresh air and for some mental clarity. You might go to lunch after. You wear this beautifully embroidered Zimmerman dress styled so elegantly with your beach bag, sun hat and summer wedges you’ve been dying to wear. Lightweight, elegant and so chic.

4. Modest Beach OUTFIT: strap dress

You’re on a trip, and don’t want to risk the chance of not swimming so you work your outfit around your day. Dress for the day, and swimmers for the beach. Except this long-sleeve swimming top isn’t like any ordinary. With frills on the sleeves and a gold zipper, it eludes luxury to your effortless beach look. Throw on a hat and you’re bag and you may even take this to a yacht.

5. Modest Beach OUTFIT: FLOWY dress

This dress is perfection and is a need for everyone’s staple ‘beach’ wardrobe. You can wear this to a resort, family holiday, beach, yacht party, weekend getaway, or wherever it is you’re going. It’s graceful, feminine and elegant and a must-have in your summer wardrobe. Wear your swimmers underneath or don’t. You’ll look flawless regardless.

6. modest beach outfit: beach sarong

The ‘modest’ version of wearing your swimmers without resorting to wear shorts over your tights. Throw on a luxury sarong and you call it a day. Drape your hijab over your chest for maximum coverage and ensure a longer sarong to cover most of your legs. You can also add a soft knitted throw over your swim top for more coverage. Personally, I prefer it that way but do what makes you comfortable.
